Feeling like you haven't finished off your summer bucket list? Good news: there’s still a few precious weeks of summer! So throw that FOMO out of the window and get packing—you’re going to Kelowna! Read about the top four Kelowna experiences awaiting you below, and reserve your room at Hotel Zed today!

1.  Take an edgy wine tour

Sure, you're going to want to check out the vineyards in this internationally recognized wine region. But don't be boring about it. With Let’s Go Wine Tours you can add a relaxing boat cruise, a luxurious helicopter ride or even some sultry salsa classes to the mix! Want to go a little more extreme? Distinctly Kelowna Tours offers wine tour packages that include axe throwing, ATV rides and even ziplining! 

2.  Go back in time

Staying at Hotel Zed is like stepping into a time machine, except that we still have modern amenities like super-fast wifi. (Gotta post your trip from Instagrammable hotels in the world!). Pop into vintage boutique Georgie Girl for the perfect vintage outfit! Finish your retro makeover with a cut and style at Plan B Headquarters salon, just around the corner from the hotel!  Then take your new look to Pulp Fiction Coffee House for a malt or a mocha and take in their vintage-inspired pop art decor!

3.  Cuddle a roo

You don’t have to go all the way down under to meet a kangaroo! Kangaroo Creek Farm has all sorts of critters, including kangaroos and wallabies for you to meet!  Remember to check the website for admission hours, and we recommend taking advantage of the half-price Early Bird admission special!

4.  Ride the rails

Literally. But not, literally. This beautiful railway line is now a popular series of mountain biking and hiking trails! The 24km roundtrip will take you through the 18 trestles and two tunnels! While you're in the area, visit Myra Canyon Adventure Park for tree courses, ziplining, and ropes games!

Even if you’ve been to Kelowna before, we guarantee that this thriving city has so much more that you’ve never seen or done. Don’t let summer slip away from you so soon—book your stay with us now and make memories that’ll make all of your friends jealous!
