March break is upon us, and with health restrictions still in place, we know it’s harder to keep kids active and engaged. The #exploreKelowna Local Savings Pass, a free mobile passport that connects residents of Kelowna with local offers and discounts of more than 85 businesses, has some great options to plan some fun activities with the family.
As you’re planning your activities, and while you #exploreKelownalocal, be sure to keep health and safety top of mind.
Fun Indoor Activities

There are many activities for the family to enjoy together and that cater to different ages so everyone gets to have some fun and release some of that pent-up energy. Energyplex is a family fun centre for children of all ages that includes an energy cube playground, a play gym, rock climbing, and Ballistix ball shooting. If you're looking for a more athletic experience, check out Airhouse Kelowna, a progressive freestyle gymnastics and trampoline training centre – it's the place to go if you're just looking to have some fun on trampolines or looking to train and progress your sporting passion. For a completely different and unique experience, you can visit Simplex Sportszone. Here you can immerse yourself in a very realistic full-screen simulator where you can play a variety of sports (with real sports equipment), carnival games, or even zombie dodgeball!
