Rainy day activities in West Kelowna
So you’re planning your vacation at La Casa Cottage Resort and it occurs to you -what is there to do if it rains? The Okanagan is known for its sunny skies and scorching temperatures, so it is not surprising that most activities are outdoors. Well do not worry! There are plenty of other activities around West Kelowna that will still get you out and about for a few hours – beats being stuck in the cottage all day (especially if the kids are nagging to go outside!). Here are our favourites:
Catch a movie at West Kelowna, Landmark 8 Xtreme Cinemas
