Family Adventure Beckons in Cumberland, Courtenay, and Comox
A Family Adventure with Pizza, Parks, Predators, & Prehistoric History
No Comox Valley family adventure is complete without blending delightful slices of history, tantalizing wildlife, pizza that sings arias of yum, and nature’s colourful kaleidoscope of family-photo-worthy parks. Buckle up your sequined fanny packs, because we're diving into a place where magic doesn't just happen in fairytales.
First up on this whimsical journey, Riders Pizza – because what spells family love better than a cheesy slice of heaven? This isn't just any pizza. Imagine toppings so daring, they could walk the drag queen catwalk, and a crust so divine, you'd think it took fashion tips from Cher. It's the perfect fuel for your adventures with a side of "Mamma Mia, that's good!"
After you've filled your bellies with gastronomic bliss, waddle your way to Goose Spit Park. Here's where you let the kids loose and watch them frolic on the sands that have seen more dramas than a season of RuPaul's Drag Race. Breathtaking views for family photos that are sure to make the other Instagram parents jealous, picnic spots for family gossip, and if you're feeling adventurous, a splash in the waters where the drama of the day melts away.
The Courtenay Museum awaits with its treasure trove of relics and tales so tall, you'd think they were wearing platform boots. Teach the kiddos a thing or two about history, but with a twist where dinosaurs are divas and fossils strut their stuff on the ancient runway.
At MARS Wildlife Rescue Centre in Merville, the wild ones are the real supermodels of the story. This place isn't just a sanctuary; it's a runway of resilience and rehabilitation, starring some of Vancouver Island’s favourite locals. Eagles that serve fierce looks, hawks with piercing eyes, and owls so cute, you'll want to adopt them.
And because we're all about that extra sprinkle of fabulous, why not venture into the Miracle Beach Provincial Park? It's nature's playground, where each trail is a backdrop for your next family album cover, and the sands are soft enough to serve as your personal runway.
The Comox Valley is calling – with its blend of kitsch, culture, and cheeky adventures perfect for the entire family. Gear up for a journey where wildlife whispers your name, history takes you by the hand, and every pizza slice is as good as a big, fat, fabulous family hug. Remember, in the Comox Valley, every day is a pageant, and you're all the reigning queens and kings, so make some memories in your fabulous family adventures.
