4. Bridal Veil Falls Waterfall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 447 reviews
Reviewed By 912shawnb
One of the nice things about the Bridal Veil Falls Waterfall is that it's a very short walk from the Parking Lot, ideal for families with young children or even for seniors who can still take a hike with a moderate incline. When we arrived in November, the gates to the park were closed but you can easily park outside the gate and walk to the falls from there (bear left at the fork in the road as you walk up). For Ontario-types, we were amazed by the size of the trees, and the rich mosses (and even ferns!) growing on (and in!) the trees. The falls themselves? The pictures say it all: spectacular.
5. Chilliwack Cultural Centre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 34 reviews
Reviewed By ShazaG939 - Chilliwack, Canada
We go to the Chilliwack cultural centre often and we have taken part in the dinner and the show program. They host many different acts from the ballet to burlesque shows. We've seen the Simon Fraser pipe band, country music impersonators and musical comedies. This venue is both easily accessible and reasonably priced ($25-$55). The proceeds from the concession (wine/beer) stand and coat check go to local charity organizations. I understand that the classes are professional and enjoyable. You are now allowed to take alcohol into the theatre in plastic tumblers. The smaller venue allows alcohol at the tables and is great for small cabaret style performances.

A great place to walk along the world famous Vedder River. It’s a well maintained trail than has ample parking and portable WC’s along the way. There’s always something different to see, whether it’s fishermen catching salmon and Steelhead or the Bald Eagles doing the same.

The Wetlands was a nice surprise to discover. Its a great place to get out in nature and have a short or long walk, depending on how you feel. There are a number of different trails. The floating island provides a nice look out over the whole park. We saw many birds, and ducks. Its an excellent park to take the kids to.
