You've driven half way up BC and only seen a few animals, you would like to see more, but not sure where the locals go to find wild animals! The BC Wildlife is a gem of the area and is home to several animals that have been rescued and revived, inlcuding big cats, birds of prey, reptiles, falconry, small mammals and bears. All animal exhibits are closed to ensure your safety, but you and the family have many opportunities to take part in feedings and live shows!
In the winter months, the BC Wildlife Park hosts "Wildlights", a show of lights guiding you through the park and finishing with a light show in the stage area! When it gets a little chilly, you can warm up with more than one location of coffee and hot chocolate being served!

If you are a local or tourist looking for it all, I suggest Riverside Park in Kamloops. I went there in April and the summer weather was already kicking in! The grass was green and the flowers had started to bloom. There is a playground to entertain kids and also an option to walk alongside the river! Many times at the park, I have seen fish jumping above the water in the river! Great place to take a picnic!! There is accessible parking and some paved trail through the park. a nice place to spend with the family!
