Family Fun

For families that like to combine fitness with fun, two aquatic centres provide plenty of wet and wonderful excitement for the whole family. Bikers and inline skaters will find ample open spaces to roll around town, including the BMX track and the Rotary Skate Park. If you want to fuel a friendly competition, go five- or ten-pin bowling at one of the bowling alleys.

Visit the Railway & Forestry Museum for a mini rail ride and explore the various interactive displays. At The Exploration Place, kids can dig for dinosaur fossils, interact with live animals, or play in the spray park playground outside.

Your car turns into a time machine as you head just 35 minutes north of town for a trip to the Huble Homestead. The fully restored homestead and trading post on the banks of the Fraser River make up a living museum where you can literally walk into the past. Bring a picnic and enjoy the site's natural beauty.

Do you feel the need for speed or an evening of old time amusement? Check out the Park Drive-In Theater where you can go-kart and play mini golf before settling into the car and watching a recently released double feature the old fashioned way. If modern is more your style, catch the newest flicks at the Famous Players 6 movie theatre for evening or rainy day entertainment.

If you are looking for an agricultural adventure, be sure to check out Black Spruce Farm Tours, where the kids can milk goats and collect honey. Or spend the day at Noah's Ark Adventureland – it’s an animal lover's paradise! And if the sun goes down but you’re still ready for more, science-minded and curious types can head out to the Prince George Observatory for night sky wonders.
