I recently went on the VIP Experience at the BC Wildlife Park. My sister and I loved going around the bobcat and wolves enclosures to hide the food, and got some great pictures of the animals in action. We did not get up close interactions with the animals, but we did get to go into their enclosure. My grandparents use a walker, and were able to walk around the park with relative ease, and even got to ride on the train. The only thing I would have wanted was more information on the animals at their enclosures. I would highly suggest going through the VIP Experience and asking lots of questions.

A great place to walk, lawn bowl, skateboard and watch a baseball game. There are other activities as well. Lots of people out on sunny days but plenty of space to get around.

I always go to this park when I go through Kamloops. I have done this with my own children in the 1970s and now with grandchildren. It is beautifully maintained with walking and cycling paths, playgrounds, spray park, picnic areas and beautiful groomed gardens along the river.

Funny. I saw this place on a map. Large. The idea of a grasslands appealed to me. But when I checked into the Hampton Inn, the friendly staff was not familiar with they location which is just across the river. We loved this grasslands. The gravel roads are in good shape. Nice wild flowers, birds, and a marmot. Started out rather sparse, but as we drove higher it got wetter and greener and eventually we reached the tree line.
