ZipZone Adventure Park

This isn’t for the faint of heart, but this zipline park is a must-do when visiting Peachland. While it doesn’t showcase the community of Peachland, it is still an epic tourist destination. This park offers six of Canada’s highest and longest zip lines.

Peachland Visitors Centre

Selfie Spot

If you just arrived at Peachland and want to talk with a local, this would be a great spot.

Parrot Island – Exotic Bird Sanctuary

Kids & Family Outdoor Selfie Spot

At first glance, this might look like a zoo, but it's not! All these birds were either rescued from being abandoned or abused. So instead of feeling bad when viewing these animals, you can feel like you are making their lives better.

Peachland Museum

Art History Kids & Family

This small museum has hundreds of artifacts, photographs and more that would be typical of your average museum. Peachland has a much deeper history than you might expect and ties back to the kettle valley railway construction.

Peachland Art Gallery

Art Kids & Family Selfie Spot

Located in the same area as the visitor center, this art gallery gives the chance to showcase local artists. One of the best ways to understand the culture of a small town is to start by looking at the art produced in the area.

Hardy Falls

Outdoor Selfie Spot

This extremely easy hike gives you a fantastic view of Hardy Falls, pictured above and is a must-see if you come to Peachland. The walk will take less than an hour at an extremely leisurely pace stopping at the falls to enjoy the view.

Swim Bay

Beach Outdoor

Unlike your typical beach, this one has an upgrade. Equipped with a miniature zip line, rope swing and diving board, it seems like a waterpark, not a public beach! In the summer, lifeguards are on duty, and a concession is open for treats and quick meals.

Fitzpatrick Family Vineyards at Greata Ranch

Food Outdoor Selfie Spot

Just off the side of the highway, this winery is an excellent stop if you enjoy alcohol and wine tasting. You can make reservations or drop by for tastings; however, be warned that they fill up quickly because of their popularity.

Bliss Bakery Bistro

Food Kids & Family

Being a tiny town, this bistro is one of the only café-style restaurants; however, just because it’s the only one doesn’t mean it doesn’t deliver quality. They offer a range of delicacies like pastries, pies, and cookies, plus quick meal items like sandwiches or wraps.
