If you are looking for hands-on farm experience in Kelowna, plan a visit to an animal farm or petting zoo. Depending on the farm, children have the opportunity to pet animals or even feed them.
Family fun tips before visiting a farm:
- Pack water and snacks (we know the kids are always hungry)
- Bring hats and sunscreen
- Wear appropriate footwear – closed-toed shoes are preferred
- Check the company website/Facebook page for hours of operation
- See if you need to pre-purchase tickets ahead of time to secure your spot
- Wash your hands before and after touching the animals
