Local Attractions
Only 20 minutes from downtown, and across from the Kelowna International Airport (YLW), UBC's Okanagan campus in Kelowna is surrounded by pristine lakes, a variety of award winning wineries and many golf courses. The young at heart will find a zip-line, a kangaroo farm and a mini golf course in the vicinity of the campus. Watersport lovers can go all out on boats, ski-dos, paddle boards or canoes and enjoy themselves on one of the 3 lakes.

Pick your fruit and veggies at the many orchards and farms in the area and finish the day in one of the Farm-To-Table restaurants to taste what the Okanagan has to offer.
