Historic O'Keefe Ranch

We went on the sleigh ride just after Christmas and the kids loved it! They had a great time enjoying hot vide by the fire and roasting marshmallows for s’mores before the sleigh ride. The grounds were lit up for Christmas and the staff was so friendly. We loved the charm of it all! The volunteer in the general store was so knowledgeable about all the various historical items which made it fun for the kids to learn. We would highly recommend their sleigh rides around the holidays! (Group booking for adults & 3 kids)

We visited for the first time with 4 families of aged 2-8. We had such a great time learning and meeting the animals. Halloween activities 🎃 and exploring the cornmaze 🌽

Great historic site. Well run. The restaurant there was absolutely amazing. Loved it!

It was outstanding experience. It was a complete immersion in over 120 years back. Very educational. Better than any books or videos! Just bring your family and kids over. Making appreciate our life even better Highly recommend

Amazing self tour experience through a walk back in time at this family estate near Vernon. Free entry only donation if you wish any amount to support the upkeep of the property.

It was an absolutely beautiful place to visit, and my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time there, especially the children. The staff were also amazing. It is a truly great place to visit.

We visited Historic O’Keefe Ranch on a sunny Sunday, October 27, which made the picturesque views even more enjoyable. The ranch was operating on a donation basis instead of an entrance fee, with a suggested donation of $10 per adult and $5 per child over 5. The experience offered a family-friendly glimpse into local history with authentic buildings, farm animals, and informative exhibits. It’s a fantastic spot for families, as kids can explore the grounds and interact with some animals, adding a bit of hands-on fun to the historical insight. Highly recommended for a leisurely day out with family!

We stopped by the Historic O’Keefe Ranch after visiting Kamloops, though we arrived a bit late and missed the guided tour. Despite that, the visit was still worth it. The ranch is beautifully nestled in the scenic landscape of BC and has a peaceful, welcoming vibe. There’s a great restaurant on-site that you must try, cozy, well-structured, and it really makes you feel at home. Even without the tour, the place itself is serene and charming. A lovely spot to pause if you’re passing through. Highly recommended for a relaxing stop!

Been 30 years since I was here Awesome displays Really well presented Very friendly staff Beautiful gift shop Lots of free parking Spend a couple hours Entrance fee by Donation !!!!

Worst employer I've ever had. I worked as an actor for field of screams 2021 and still have not been paid 4 weeks later. It has been 2 weeks since Halloween. The law clearly states that employees must be paid within 6 days of their last day of work. Terrible communication, like emailing a toddler and every employee I had direct experience with has a different story about what the situation is/should be throughout the process from day one to my last. Where's my money?

We drove up to Vernon to watch a Murder Mystery Dinner Show at this ranch. Since we were there early and there was nothing to do, we decided to check out the farm animals they had. Much to our surprise, they didn't look anything like your average farm animal. Some chickens had plumes on the top of their head, making them look like they had a bad hair day; some had furry feet. The rams had four horns that looped around the side of their heads. They also had a dozen colorful birds. After a tour of the farm, we went back to the restaurant where the show was about to start. As the story went on, we were guided to different parts of the ranch. It wasn't a far walk, and the actors, though funny, were convincing. We headed back to the restaurant where we were seated with a few people we didn't know. Many people from Kelowna are friendly, so we didn't mind. Clues were passed around so we can guess who the murderer was, write it on a piece of paper and submit it for drawing. Before they revealed the murderer, we feasted on a buffet dinner, complete with an array of salads, veggie sides, prime rib, and desserts. When we were done, they revealed the murderer. The funniest part was reading what people have submitted for drawing. The first one who got it right got a CAD 50 gift card to the O'Keefe Ranch Gift Shop. You can't beat 50 bucks a person for both the show and dinner*! The show and dinner is only scheduled twice a year. Check their website calendar.

We went to the Field of Screams. 4 years running. My night contained the following activities... Being scared so badly I peed myself... Just a little. Barely even counts. Scrambling to get away from a scary person that was going to definitely kill me, and ending up face down in a ditch, covered in mud. And getting frightened in the maze, turning to run away and in doing so, sticking my hand in the mouth of a child and flinging her out of the way so I could escape. That part was definitely a primal fight or flight response (not so much on the fight side). And I apologize to the parents and that little girl. Solid 5 stars. Will definitely return. If I'm allowed.

I went here for the first time for Easter egg hunt his year. My daughter was really excited . But I really was not impressed with few things . 1. Such a long line up and there was only one cashier . And $20 to enter for one child and one adult seems little steep . ( admission fee , and we still had to line up and pay for our pony ride and carriage ride once we went in ) 2. I heard from a friend who came after me that they didn't have to pay the admission fee since their interac machine broke half way through . Doesn't sound very fair . 3. Easter egg hunt ground was very hard to find and there wasn't much candies even to begin with . My daughter got 3 soft candies . It seems they were only interested in making money .

Went for the buffet dinner and it was amazing. Delicious and foot was hot. Not a huge variety but everything was fresh and very tasty. Had apple crumble for dessert and needed seconds. Will absolutely return again. Excellent service and very clean
