There is no shortage of non-skiing activities at Big White for children and the young at heart. The staff at the activities desk in the Village Centre Mall can help you with a range of family pursuits or adults-only activities such as winery tours.

Family Activities Big White

Family centric activities are largely located down at Happy Valley, at the base of Lara’s Gondola.

The Big White Tube Park is a must-do activity for families or anyone who wants a bit of a giggle. The tubing park has multiple lanes. One side has steep single lanes for those who want to go fast, whilst the other side of the park has double lanes for those that want to ride in pairs or a group. The Big White Tube Park is mega fun!

Other activities at Happy Valley include mini snowmobiles for the kids, ice-skating on a large rink, horse drawn sleigh rides, and dog sledding tours.

In addition to all these activities, Big White organises special family events, carnivals and fireworks.

Cross Country Skiing Big White

Happy Valley is also the start of the 25km Nordic skiing trails, and you can also snow-shoe on these trails. You can DIY snowshoe or take a daytime or evening tour.

Snowmobiling Big White

Snowmobile tours for the big kids (you have to be 19 years or older to drive a big snowmobile) are available at Big White, which includes helmets and warm clothing. Tour durations are 1, 2, 3 or 4 hours and they also have Wiener Roast tours on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Ice Hockey

You can get into the Canadian culture by taking in an ice hockey match in Kelowna to see the Kelowna Rockets. The resort organizes a bus and tickets to the game.

Relaxation

The day spas may have been covidized, but if you’re in need of a relaxing massage at Big White, there is a mobile massage service.
