Osoyoos Medieval Faire


Saturday May 20th and Sunday May 21st, 2017
Where the past is present! Experience the Middle Ages with Live Jousting, food fit for a king, games and a vast array of entertainment for all ages.

Rattlesnake Canyon

You and the family can start at Rattlesnake Canyon. But before you get frightened off, it’s not a dried up canyon where you’ll find an occasional Rattler. Rather, it’s a Western-based Amusement park, located downtown, where children can let their imaginations run away with them. Here you’ll find a western mining town themed amusement park that offers quality entertainment at affordable prices. Enter the grounds and you’ll find an 18 hole mini golf course, a Go Kart track consisting of 12 single karts and four double karts, an ice cream parlour in an authentic windmill, an arcade, bumper boats, a tumble whirl, bungee tree, a 35 foot rock climbing wall, gift store, tattoo parlour and a concession stand. It’s pure entertainment and fun.

Osoyoos Desert Model Railroad

Step into an unforgettable, world-class, miniature fantasy world. The Osoyoos Desert Model Railroad is a must-see mini-world with 45 trains running through very detailed landscaping with European style towns and houses. With 1,600 buildings & 18,000+ hand painted little people adorn this
371 sq m (4000 sq ft) attraction.

Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre

Up the hill from downtown lies the Nk’Mip Desert & Cultural Centre, one of B.C.’s most unique ecological centres. Take a guided tour along a trail winding through the arid shrubs and grasses to four interpretive kiosks. Here is where you learn about desert ecology, ecological restoration and the conservation of the region’s threatened and fragile desert ecosystem. They even have live snake shows.

Osoyoos Splash Park

Want to cool off on a hot summer’s day? Let the Osoyoos Splash Park do that job with young kids turning water cannons on one another while parents relax watching the kids burning off energy.

 

Indian Groves Riding Stables

And for slighter older youth, hitch up a horse at the Indian Grove Riding Stable for a guided tour on horseback on the mountain trails that meander through the Osoyoos area. The half-day and full-day tours include riding, taking a break for fishing, exploring a nearby waterfall and then having a dinner on the trail. Safe, horseback trail rides through the Osoyoos desert and along mountain trails provide a safe cowboy adventure with spectacular views and breath-taking trails.
