Summer 2025 may be starting to wind down, but there’s still plenty of opportunity to make the most of the season! If you’re starting August wishing you’d gotten out a bit more or tried a few more things, then you’re in the right place! The Fraser Valley is packed with all kinds of ways to savour the longer days. The gorgeous rural scenery is home to countless unique attractions you won’t find in the city, from meeting friendly barnyard animals to navigating a towering corn maze. Fun and family-friendly country outings like these are never far away when you follow the Circle Farm Tour.
It’s a handy guide to some of our incredible local attractions, where you can follow your sense of discovery to authentic Canadian experiences run by warm and friendly people. There’s so much to do, you might need to make an extended stay! That’s no trouble, though. We’ve got plenty of room if you decide to make it a staycation (we’ve included some cozy options for accommodations, too).
