Places to go

Post by snoozin »

Looking for fun places to take day trips to with my 10 year old daughter.

We have done the lake so not looking for that.
Even if we have to drive a bit. Suggestions for day trips?

I'm not worried what I say, if they see it now or they see it later, I said it. If you don't know maybe that would hurt you, I don't know. You should know though, so you don't get hurt, so you know what side to be on when it happens.

Where are the waterfalls in Fintry? Are there any other things in Fintry? Never really been there.
Where are Hardy Falls? Is that part of Bear Creek?

And of course there is Scandia and a couple similar places in Penticton. They suck the money from you, but if you just go for a round of mini golf and a slurpee, it's not that bad. $20 bucks.

My boy also loved the go-karts.
