Things to do in Chilliwack
Chilliwack is a beautiful city in the Fraser Valley, surrounded by mountains and scenic recreational areas, well-situated near Vancouver. It’s a wonderful place to call home, not only because of the gorgeous mountain views and associated parks—Bridal Veil Falls, Chilliwack Lake and Cultus Lake Provincial Parks, and Great Blue Heron Reserve—but the many new restaurants and shops to explore in the revitalized downtown. If you’re moving to a Chilliwack seniors’ residence, you can also visit nearby art galleries or catch a play, concert, musical, dance performance or comedy act at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Don’t forget popular annual events such as the Chilliwack Tulip Festival or Sunflower Festival, or walk along Teapot Hill Trail near Cultus Lake to check out teapots of all shapes and sizes in the forest. You can take in a variety of agricultural attractions by picking blueberries at Klaassen Farms or wandering through the corn maze and pumpkin patch at Fantasy Farms.
