Food Scene
A family favourite. It's a long drive up near Lund, BC, but worth it to us, as they have local musicians play and a buffet almost every Friday.

The Westview Zoo is popular. It is by no means a high-class place, but worth it for the drinks and frequent live music.

Parks & Nature
A beautiful vista, easily hikeable, as there are stairs leading all the way up (take your time if stairs are a challenge). It takes about 15 minutes to get to the top. On clear days, you can see all the way to Vancouver Island! This area has cliffs, so keep the little ones close; they too will enjoy the view!
