Observatory

First rate place.

The whale watching cruise was an amazing opportunity.

The access road to this place is a two-way mountain road with breathtaking views. It is located between Osoyoos and Penticton but around 15 min longer than main road (Hwy 97). If you interested to physics or astronomy, you must see this site when you are in this area. To prevent signal interfere, all mobile phones should be turn off when enter to this facility. This is a reson that I don't have any photos from inside this location. Wendel, who was working there for 25 years explained enthusiastically all details about basic of the physics and astronomy. Sometimes those information had too much details that made people with less related knowledge tired!!This facility is open for public only at weekend. Park your car in visitor parking and walk in through the gate for 10 min or less to get into visitor center, where they will welcome you.

Great place to go swim!!But be careful

A bit of a walk up (steep little hill and stairs) but not too bad, just not accessible for people of limited mobility. The view was really nice and the water's colour is gorgeous!

Absolutely beautiful views from the terrace. Saw two types of whales from our site. Staff is some of the nicest I've ever encountered. Bathrooms are clean and have running water. Water on each camp site is safe to drink. Have to pay for shower use

Je ne sais pas si l'observatoire vaut le détour, mais pour la randonnée pédestre, je ne crois pas. Les sentiers ne sont pas vraiment entretenus.

Wonderfull for inquisitive children

Make sure to visit on a cloudless night. Amazing views and great experience. Campsites are clean and not too rocky!

Wow... you can see the God work here... so wonderful.... all in one
