Kid-Friendly Places in Summerland
The 56 places in Summerland break down into 14 parks and trails, 12 wineries, 8 restaurants and 22 others. Keep in mind that 14 close for part of the year. Some overlap with other Summerland guides: 22 have a patio and 22 work well for groups. Dirty Laundry Winery, one of our Local Favourites, is kid-friendly too.
Open Now is based on each place’s listed hours. Hours can change for holidays, seasons or special closures — check with the venue before you go.
