🔑 Key Selling Points
Riverside Park
Set right on the Thompson River, this park is where locals head to relax. Walking trails, summer concerts and even a sandy riverside beach make it a lively yet laid-back stop.
BC Wildlife Park
Here clients can see cougars, bears and birds of prey up close in a natural setting. It’s a family-friendly way to experience British Columbia’s wild side without leaving town.
Kenna Cartwright Nature Park
With miles of trails winding through forested hills, the park leads to lookouts with sweeping views of the valley. It’s an easy escape into nature, just minutes from downtown.
Kamloops Wine Trail
The surrounding hills are home to boutique wineries where tastings come with vineyard views. It’s a relaxed and scenic way to spend an afternoon.
Sun Peaks Resort
In winter it’s all about skiing, while in summer the slopes turn into hiking and biking trails. The alpine village atmosphere makes it a year-round favourite.
