The next stop on our summer road trip saw us cross the province border into Revelstoke, British Columbia. This sweet little mountain town has our hearts! There were so many family friendly adventures to be had in and around Revelstoke.

Thanks to many wonderful suggestions from Canadian friends, our top 3 activities were:

1. The Enchanted Forest

The Enchanted Forest was charming, magical, delightful, and definitely enchanting. We explored tree-houses and fantasy fairy-tale scenes, went on relaxed strolls through the forest, drank fresh mountain water and rowed a boat on a lake surrounded by tranquil scenery.

2. The Pipe Mountain Coaster

The pipe coaster down the mountain side was one of the kids’ favourite experiences they had over the summer! We took a gondola halfway up the mountain and were dropped off at the coaster where we were able to ride it twisting and turning around one and a half kms back down. The coaster is designed so that it can peak at just over 40kms/hr, but the driver is able to control the speed so you can go as fast or as slow as you like.

3. 3 Valley Gap Heritage Ghost Town

The ghost town was a picture of a typical late 1800’s western town. Thousands of people descended for the short lived gold rush leaving behind many abandoned buildings and towns. It was an interesting and slightly creepy walk through the town, exploring the old buildings such as schools, banks, churches, and saloons.  

We went to Kawakubo Restaurant for my birthday dinner and it had AH-mazing food! We definitely recommend this Japanese restaurant if you ever find yourself in Revelstoke!
