If the weather isn’t playing nicely, odds are that the kids aren’t either. Having room to roam and endless sunshine is our claim to fame, but nature doesn’t always cooperate! There’s no need for screen time when skies are grey: Kamloops has many family-friendly indoor activities to burn off energy and make memories.
