Did you know
Kamloops has a
Ginseng Spa ? Did you know that within 10 minutes of hopping on a
scooter downtown you can be sightseeing the ranchlands along Hwy 5A? How about coming face to face with a Grizzly Bear cub at the
BC Wildlife Park ? Then there is the phenomenal
Kamloops Art Gallery that is currently showing a 20th century Chinese Art exhibit in addition to their impressive permanent displays. Did you know you can step on a
heritage steam railway and take a ride in open air or sit in the 1954 dining car sipping a cold drink in one of the swivel chairs? Ever heard of the
Bike Ranch ? It is a new mountain biking park created by the City of Kamloops and offers some pretty heart-pumping terrain with incredible views! Then there is the horseback riding through pine forests, again, only about 10-15 minutes from downtown. There are so many new things being offered in this city for visitors such as the new 90-minute historical walking tour of downtown by
Tour With Us . Ray was our guide and in addition to being a wealth of information, he has the most contagious laugh! Iâ??ve never had so much fun learning history. This gave me confidence to check out the
Kamloops Museum and their â??The Wonderful Writing Machineâ? exhibit where I witnessed kids playing on vintage typewriters â?? something they had never seen or used before! I think they were as surprised to find these archaic machines as I was to discover all the hidden gems this city has to offer. Kamloops really is full of surprises!
