Indoor Play

Stop into the Peachland Regional Library to take out a book, magazine, or DVD. You can also register to join an online storytime or participate in their many activities throughout the year.

The Summerland Aquatic Centre features a 25-metre pool with a jetted whirlpool hot tub and sauna. Bring your family here for water fun.

This Mcdonald’s will impress the kids with so many tunnels to hide out and slides to enjoy. This separate play area includes tables, high chairs, and a storage area for shoes.

Children can enjoy the separate play area at McDonald’s in Penticton. Here there is a play structure, a few screens with games, and tables to sit and enjoy your food.

Located in the same building as the Penticton Public Library, the Penticton Museum is full of activities and exhibits for you to enjoy with your children. The Museum is open to the public from Tuesday to Saturday and is a great way to spend a morning or afternoon. Pick up their scavenger hunt list to discover all the items on your self-guided tour. Entrance is by donation, with $1 suggested for kids and $2 for adults.

Enjoy access to the leisure pool featuring a lazy river and large whirlpool, spray features, and a waterslide (depending on the time). This modern facility provides zero-entry ramps to all three pools, sauna and steam room, deck-side seating and multi-purpose rooms, and spacious changing areas for men, women, and families. Choose to host a birthday party at one of their meeting rooms, book the gymnasium, or host a pool party. We booked meeting room #4 which offered plenty of space – tables and chairs were included in the rental.

The Peachland Museum suprised our family and we spent an hour there. Head upstairs where you can watch the trains in action from Nelson to Hope which was the length of the Kettle Valley. The layout for the Central Okanagan Railway Company (CORC) is based upon the Kettle Valley Railway operations during the decade from 1955 to 1965. The train tracks wrap around the entire upstairs with interactive buttons the kids can press.

The Aquatic Centre consists of two pools. There is a 25-metre, 8-lane pool for lap swimming and a separate free-form leisure pool. In addition, the facility provides a steam room, sauna, whirlpool, waterslide, one-metre diving board, rope swing, and lots of other fun things for the whole family. Life jackets are available to rent and lockers are available for 25 cents.
