Vancouver Day Trip | Ultimate Kelowna Itinerary 💃

Everyone calls Kelowna "Vancouver's backyard garden"—and after visiting, I totally get why! This charming city is packed with lakeside charm, cute animals, and delicious eats. Here’s my perfect one-day guide to Kelowna’s best spots! 1️⃣ Bohemian Café & Catering Co. 🍳 Brunch first, always! Classic Benedict & Corned Beef Hash = solid choices Iced latte for that morning boost ☕ 2️⃣ Kangaroo Creek Farm 🦘 Meet kangaroos, capybaras & more! Hand-feed the animals (they’re most active in the morning) Tickets: $20/adult, free for kids under 4 Pro tip: Book online to skip lines! 3️⃣ Waterfront Park & City Park 🏞️ The most scenic lakeside stroll Crystal-clear Okanagan Lake views 🏊♂️ Walk from Waterfront Park → Downtown City Park (great for people-watching) Water activities: Paddleboarding, kayaking, or just sunbathing! 4️⃣ Parlour Ice Cream 🍦 Insta-famous sweet stop! London Fog (Earl Grey tea flavor) & Lavender = dreamy combo Got lucky with no line—go early or on weekdays! 5️⃣ Downtown Shopping 🛍️ Lulu, Arc’teryx & cute local boutiques Bookstores, home decor shops & cafés make for perfect browsing 6️⃣ Yuzu Bowl & Bistro 🍱 Happy hour sushi & ramen! Yuzu Shio Ramen (citrusy & light) Chashu Miso Ramen (rich & savory) Ahi Poke Bowl + small plates = great value Happy Hour (before 6pm) = extra savings! #KelownaTravel #OkanaganVibes #VancouverWeekend #ExploreBC
