From scenic trails to family-friendly activities, here’s how we plan to make the most of the Family Day long weekend in this beautiful corner of British Columbia.
Start Your Day with a Great Cup of Coffee
Nothing kicks off a Family Day outing better than a delicious cup of coffee. Stop by our cafe in in District 1881 for a perfectly crafted latte or hot chocolate. Our locally roasted beans and warm atmosphere make it the ideal spot to fuel up before heading out for the day’s adventures. Plus, we’ve got treats the whole family will love!
Chilliwack has a pretty great coffee scene so we also recommend checking out Amble Coffee, Land Cafe and Yoga Studio or Cultivate Cafe. You'll be happy no matter what you choose!
Explore the Great Outdoors
Chilliwack’s natural beauty is unbeatable, and Family Day is a great time to enjoy it. Take a scenic walk around Cultus Lake, where the trails are peaceful in the winter and the views are stunning. If you’re up for a bit more adventure, Teapot Hill Trail is a fantastic family-friendly hike with a fun twist—keep an eye out for hidden teapots along the way! You can also walk around the Vedder Rotary Trail or visit the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve.
Discover Local History at the Chilliwack Museum & Archives
If you’re looking for an indoor activity, head to the Chilliwack Museum & Archives. It’s a great place to learn about the region’s rich history and explore interactive exhibits that make history fun for all ages. Bonus: Family Day often brings special events or free admission days!
Enjoy a Family Meal at a Local Eatery
After a day of exploring, grab a bite at one of Chilliwack’s many fantastic local restaurants. The Offy is a great choice for European-inspired bistro faire and upscale cocktails, while Hugo's offers hearty Mexican comfort food that the whole family can enjoy. Looking for something casual? A stop at Field House Brewing for snacks and craft sodas is always a win! We also recommend The Noodle Man for authentic Chinese cuisine, including handmade noodles!
Wrap Up the Day with a Sweet Treat
No Family Day is complete without dessert! Even though it's February, you can still go for an ice cream cone! Especially when it's from Banter Ice Cream! Their incredibly silky smooth ice cream boasts inventive flavours and local ingredients. It's a local favourite so prepare to wait in line for a bit. But trust us, it's worth it! Our other favourite spots for sweet treats are Azzuri Gelato Cafe, Anita's Bread and Coffee and The Local Harvest Market Bakery.
