Known as Canada’s only desert, Osoyoos is home to many beaches, fruit stands, and family activities.


Location

Osoyoos is located in the South Okanagan a 1-hour drive from Penticton.

Family-Drop In Programs

On school days, bring your kids ages 0-5 years to Osoyoos StrongStart. It is a free school-based early learning program offered at the Osoyoos Elementary School where your child will have free time to play games, read books, create a craft, participate in storytime where they will sing songs, and more!

Indoor Play

For bowling fun, bring the family to Kobau Lanes in Osoyoos. They are open 7 days a week, offering 8 lanes of 5-pin bowling, perfect for any family.
