With just a few weeks left, we’ve highlighted our must-visit experiences, perfect for every family member in your crew, from the cannonballers to the toe-dippers. These unforgettable adventures, all less than an hour from Vancouver, offer the best of Canadian summer: fresh air, friendly service, and stunning natural beauty.

The sun is setting on summer 2025, so let’s make use of the year’s longest days and send the season off with a splash! 

1. Abbotsford

You’re always among friends in Abbotsford (furry or otherwise)! The sweeping rural scenes of this Valley gem are the perfect primer for getting out into the wide-open spaces we’re known for: a refreshing change of pace from the urban sprawl you might be used to.

You’ll get a great feel for country living when you stop by EcoFarm, a working dairy farm where you can meet the cows, learn about farm life, and try fresh ice cream made right onsite! On the farm tour, you’ll get a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how milk is cultivated and used to create some of our favourite treats.

No matter which direction you’re coming from, a snack stop is always a must, and there’s no better place to stock up than at Clayburn Village Store and Tea Shop. Opened in 1912, this vintage candy shop located in Clayburn Village consistently ranks as one of visitors’ favourite new discoveries in Abbotsford. It’s got everything you need to make your journey a little bit sweeter!

If the temperature starts climbing and you need a refresh, head to Mill Lake’s Spray Park. The water is on from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. until the September long weekend, giving you plenty of time to watch the little ones get soaked, dry off, and do it all over again.

When you’re feeling a bit peckish, we recommend a visit to Little Sprout Café. Specializing in hearty and nutritious fare, the café is known for using fresh, local ingredients and even grows its microgreens in-house! It’s a true community hub that prioritizes inclusivity in its hiring practices, so expect to meet friendly, diversely-abled team members.After a full day of exploring, chances are you might be completely wiped out, so why not stay the night?

Abbotsford has plenty of cozy accommodation options for whatever you need; from family campsites to boutique bed and breakfasts. The road trip can always continue in the morning!

2. Chilliwack

You can always count on Chilliwack for an escape from the ordinary! This character-filled community is chock-full of opportunities for adventure, so you have no reason to stay at home!

One of the most famous local attractions is, of course, Cultus Lake Waterpark. As the biggest waterpark in British Columbia, it’s a top spot to cool off in Metro Vancouver, with everything from waterslides to spray parks and splash pads. If you’re looking to keep dry but still get the adrenaline pumping, there is also Cultus Lake Adventure Park just across the street! Home to all kinds of exhilarating rides and an epic mini golf course, this is an incredible theme park that you won’t need to book a flight for.

But if it’s culture you crave, take a wander through Downtown Chilliwack and check out the vibrant murals. Created as part of the Chilliwack Mural Festival, each public piece reveals a different side of the city! This year’s fest runs from August 7 to 17, giving you the chance to watch vibrant murals come to life. Don’t miss the Street Party on August 15 & 16,  packed with live art, musical performances, food trucks, local vendors, and more! 

Ready to see some of the area’s majestic wildlife? Make your next stop the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve. Home to countless winged beauties, it’s a must-visit for curious little ones and nature lovers alike. Stroll along the boardwalk to spot herons—and many other species—then head up the lookout tower for a stunning 360-degree view of the wetlands. Note: the Centre Trail Bridge has been blocked off for public safety. Additionally, the Heron Reserve is only available from the Vedder Rotary trail, so be sure to plan your time and route accordingly! Visit their website for more information.

When it’s time for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, head to Little Beetle. This stylish bistro is known for warm service and a menu full of crowd-pleasers. From pancakes and bennies to burgers and daily soups, it’s so much more than a place to refuel. Generous portions mean you’ll likely have a snack for later, too!

There’s a lot to discover in Chilliwack, so why not make it a full-day (or multi-day) adventure? Book a stay in one of the area’s welcoming hotels or guesthouses to experience local life from sunrise to golden hour.

3. Harrison River Valley

With crisp air rolling in from both the Harrison River and Harrison Lake, this waterside community offers a refreshing destination on any summer day.

At Kilby Provincial Park, you can lounge beachside and recharge, or push off in a kayak to explore the water. Keep your eyes peeled for anything that looks mysterious, though…Harrison is B.C.’s Sasquatch sighting capital!) Just a few minutes’ walk to the Kilby Historic Site, the park is filled with new things to discover, and also offers beautiful campsites for overnight stays, just be sure to check availability before you go.

If travelling by car has you craving something more open-air, call one of Harrison’s most unique rental businesses: Harrison Hot Wheels. Cruise around town in multi-seat pedal carts with 3–4 wheels, perfect for getting everyone in on the action. You’re already out seeking new experiences…why not cross off another one while you’re at it?

Heading out in late August? Circle August 30 on your calendar…that’s when Bands on the Beach takes over! This outdoor music fest lets you rock out with a twinkling lake as the backdrop. Expect a diverse lineup of local musicians and plenty of food trucks fueling the fun.

When meal time rolls around, you can never go wrong with River’s Edge Clubhouse Restaurant. Part of the Sandpiper Resort, this local favourite is perfect for golfers, nature-seekers, or anyone looking to make a meal special. Stop in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, with a menu full of elevated staples and an always reliable kids’ menu.

1. Road Trip to Abbotsford

A sunny day in Abbotsford is a surefire way for the kids to form new core memories while you dig into your own summer nostalgia. Start by following your feet through the Historic Downtown, where you can stroll by the artisan shops and beautifully preserved storefronts. It’s the perfect vibe for a delicious detour to Banter Ice Cream, where the seasonal flavours are ready to sample. With over 300 board games to choose from, the nearby Boardwalk Cafe & Games should be your next stop to settle any arguments about where to head next. Whether it’s with Settlers of Catan or Taboo, there are more than a few ways to team up with/on the kids.

Once lunch rolls around, you can wander to Jubilee Park for a picnic and playground, the winning combo for any bright forecast.

You could easily spend the day exploring the downtown core alone, but there are even more options if you decide to stay an extra day! At Silverbrook U-Catch Trout Farm, little ones can try their hand at fishing at a local trout farm. A fun and accessible way to introduce them to the pastime of patience, the friendly staff has everything you need to reel in the first catch. For something with a bit more momentum, we recommend hiking and mountain biking in Sumas Mountain Regional Park. The 1,471-hectare park is full of breezy trails and sweeping views, which you can set up as an incredible reward for all their impressive pedalling!

Then, to switch up the pace a bit, The Reach Gallery Museum is an excellent option for your arts and culture. Stop in and admire the engaging exhibits of local artists and learn about  Abbotsford’s rich and diverse cultural heritage with programming curated for all ages.

Phew! It’s been a long day of exploring, and Abbotsford still has so much to see, so there’s always the option to stay over. Save yourself driving home with your crew (at least for a day or two) and have a look at all the fun staycation options in the area. Have the kids ever stayed in a geodome? Or how about a “cottage-core” B&B? The accommodations in Abbotsford are ready to welcome your family.

2. Chilliwack Road Trip Itinerary

With gorgeous rural experiences and some of the freshest and most flavourful natural ingredients around, Chilliwack is a feast for every sense! Berry season is here, and there’s no better place to treat your tastebuds than Klaassen Farms—one of the stops on the Chilliwack Circle Farm Tour. The kids can choose from freshly made muffins, cinnamon buns and scones, or you can always roll up your sleeves and visit the berry picking area and fill up a basket for your next baking project together. Plus, there are friendly farm animals to meet and a dedicated adventure zone where you can watch them play while enjoying an iced coffee.

Now that you’ve stocked up on snacks, you’re ready for the nearby nature outings, like a tour of Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park. You’ll find all kinds of exhilarating ways to appreciate nature here— camping, kayaking, fishing, and over 40 km of walking and hiking trails (including all levels of difficulty for little feet). Heads up though— there is no cell service in this area, so be sure to tell someone ahead of time where you’re going!

If you prefer fresh air with an added dose of adrenaline, Chilliwack River Rafting will definitely be your speed. Another great option for families, the company has accessible and beginner-level routes that will give kids a new perspective on the outdoors. The stunning views are one of a kind, especially with an audience of curious mountain goats looking down from the surrounding cliff faces!

After any of those day trips, you’ll likely be ready for a few modern comforts, which is where District 1881, in Downtown Chilliwack, comes in. In the heart of Chilliwack, you’ll find everything you need to rest, reset, and revamp! There are also outstanding restaurant options to satisfy any craving, especially if any of your party members are getting a big hangry.

3. Just Up the Road to Harrison River Valley

There’s always something happening in Harrison!

The locals here have their pick of fun ways to take in the scenery, and your family has a standing invitation to join in. Sasquatch Mountain Resort is a wonderful option for all levels of nature seekers. Disc golf, hiking, and mountain biking are just the start of ways to fill your itinerary.

The nearby Harrison Lake is a hub of activity, too! The tree-lined shore is full of points of interest to investigate, and you can all take to the water via kayak, power boat or canoe, by guided tour or with you leading the tour (get your dad jokes ready). Finding everything you need is easy with lakeside options like Killer’s Cove Boat Rentals, Harrison Eco Tours and Shoreline Tours.

There’s even a giant inflatable water park to play on! Harrison Watersports has one of the most fun ways to keep cool through the summer, with a floating obstacle course/playground. If you’re up for a ride out in the water, they also offer bumper boat and sea-doo rentals. This is one of the top family attractions in the Valley, and it’s not hard to see why. An all-ages summer treasure, where you can watch the hours melt away.

Back on dry land, Agassiz Speedway offers even further excitement with four-wheeled speedsters pining for first place! One of the most exciting ways to experience summer, every family member will love feeling the rush of the race.

So read through, pick your faves, and curate a route through these proudly Canadian businesses and experiences.

1. Abbotsford Staycation

Abbotsford is home to an abundance of hidden gems to discover. You’ll find plenty of family staycation ideas here, from fruit picking and fuzzy barnyard friends at Taves Family Farm to a bit of friendly competition via mini golf and old-school arcade games at Castle Fun Park. There’s no better way to settle a score than with a bit of putt-putt and Pacman!

Of course, if you’d rather meander through Historic Downtown Abbotsford and discover new spots at your own pace, the heritage-filled downtown core has all kinds of small businesses ready to welcome you to the community. Start with a frothy London Fog from the specialty coffee menu at Boardwalk Cafe & Games and a pensive game of Scrabble from their collection of over 300 board games.

​​When enjoying a full itinerary, you might need a moment to cool off, which is where the outdoor Centennial Pool at Mill Lake Park comes in. With the serene lake nearby and an onsite water park for the kids, this is an excellent spot to relax by the water or unwind with a wander through the park trails. 

While exploring, you’ll likely come across another interesting historic landmark of the area, the Trethewey House. Built in 1919, the house is a municipal heritage site where visitors can walk through a preserved home from over 100 years ago!

For more gorgeous greenery, a stroll at Jubilee Park is next, where you’ll find inviting picnic areas alongside a great playground. The park frequently hosts live events and farmer’s markets, so you never know what might pop up while lounging in the shade. Wrap up your wanders with a stop at Banter Ice Cream, where every flavour is made in-house using locally available ingredients.

With so many options to fill your days with, consider extending your staycation to include an overnight (or two). Abbotsford is full of charming home-base accommodations while you’re there, whether you’re looking for full-service family suites with a pool or a more private cottage experience.

2. Plan Your Chilliwack Trip

Chilliwack is another star community of the Valley with unparalleled nature and character-filled local Canadian businesses. Making the most of your staycation starts with admiring the area’s stunning wildlife. With the Chilliwack Itinerary of the Fraser Valley Bird Trail you’ll get insider tips about where to spot beauties like the Spotted Towhee and the Belted Kingfisher. Follow the trail and make your way to Cheam Lake Wetlands Regional Park, a 107-hectare park known to be home to over 180 different bird species! The park features a floating boardwalk leading to a viewing platform and a second wheelchair-accessible viewing platform close to the parking lot, as well as approximately 2 km of easy walking trails with viewing areas and benches. Please note that due to the sensitive ecosystem surrounding Cheam Lake and an abundance of wildlife, plant and bird species, pets are not permitted within the Regional Park.

Birds aren’t the only reason to get out and explore the lush scenery either. The Fraser River and its surrounding waterways are filled with salmon, trout and sturgeon, making Chilliwack a natural destination for anglers of all skill levels. Bring your own gear and wade out, or grab some supplies from the Visitor Centre’s Fishing Rod Loan Program beforehand. If you’re not sure where to start, Bent Rods Guiding and Fishing Co. and Pacific River Outfitting Company have guided tours that will show you everything you need to know to land your first catch.

Closer to the town centre, Chilliwack is famous for its quaint village-style area, District 1881. Stroll the lanes of District 1881 or cross the street to explore storefronts down Mill & Wellington—this area is ideal for window shopping (the town is home to the biggest used book store in BC) or just relaxing on a sunny patio (swing by one of the community craft breweries for a pitstop).

At the end of a long day of exploring you’re likely going to need a bit of RnR, and Chilliwack has you covered for first class accommodations too! From campsites to full-service hotels, you’ll find more than a few cozy options. A few notable spots include Hotel Morado, Coast Chilliwack, Comfort Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Hampton Inn, and Vedder River Inn. But check out the full list of overnight options to find the perfect stay for you and your family.

3. Your Staycation in the Harrison River Valley

Looking to experience the breadth of local culture that the Fraser Valley is home to? Look no further than Harrison! Start at the Harrison Visitor Information Centre + Sasquatch Museum—a community hub for history, tradition, and rotating arts and culture exhibits. Visitors can get acquainted with the lineage of the area, including stories and heritage of the Sts’ailes and the Sq’ewá:lxw people. The centre also shares the compelling legend of the Sasquatch which includes artifacts and firsthand witness accounts! Afterwards, follow the Sasquatch Trail where you can see if you can catch a glimpse of the storied creature yourself.

Now that you’ve got an idea of the lay of the land, it’s time to jump right into things at Sasquatch Mountain Resort! In the summer months, the mountain comes alive with scenic hiking trails, fun community events, and mountain biking* routes that wind through lush alpine landscapes. You can take it all in at your own pace—whether you’re up for an adventure or looking to kick back. A great way to slow things down is with a round on the resort’s 9-hole disc golf course, set among stunning alpine meadows. It’s free to play—just don’t forget to bring your own discs or purchase a set at the shop & end up with a souvenir from your adventure!

*Please note that mountain biking is non-lift-accessed.

Once you’ve burned off a bit of energy there, we suggest slowing down your staycation and taking in the local sights. At Kilby Historic Site, you’ll immerse yourself in an immaculately preserved community from the early 1900s. The history-rich attraction puts you squarely in the daily life of a rural town with everything from a general store to in-character guides.

From there, if you’re interested in picking up a few edible souvenirs, then we recommend a stop at Earthwise Society Agassiz Farm. The gorgeous farm is home to forest trails, and a farm store fully stocked with fresh produce from the fields and artisan goods care of local small businesses.

After a day packed with unique local experiences, you may be too wiped to drive home. Thankfully, Harrison’s accommodations will take good care of you for as long as you need, whether you’re looking for boutique inns, bed and breakfasts, or spacious RV parks.
