Amazing experience with a private tour of the farm and animal petting. Animals are all rescue and the owners really care about them.

On a quick Fall road trip from Lower Mainland we booked a quick tour with our 4.5 yr old daughter. Heather - who we understood to be the owner - was a superb host, a lot of fun and really great to talk with. The animals were all healthy, clean and friendly / gentle and the facilities were also obviously well cared for. I would highly recommend to families and groups; just when you think you knew a lot about (farm) animals...you learn even more at this place - regardless of age! Thank you Heather for a lovely afternoon.

This is such a magical place with all of their dear gentle animals! Please do your mental health a favour and stop by this heaven on earth. Heather (the farm owner) is an incredible woman who is so passionate about the animals that she cars form. The message of Arion Farm is 'if you can live a happier life without harming others then why wouldn't you?'

I was a little hesitant when my wife wanted to visit the farm. I am not ashamed to say I was soooooo wrong to have doubted her. This place is wonderful.
It was great seeing AND being able to touch and pet the animals. It was refreshing to have the guide not only know each animals by name but it’s history as well.
I recommend this easy walk and farm adventure to anyone who loves animals.

This place is really unique, I had such a pleasant stay at the farm. The atmosphere there is amazing! If you are fond of animals, that‘s just the right place for you. I could see ponnys out of my window! The room was really cozy and super clean! I had everything I needed in place and the staff was very kind as well. Had the chance to feed the horses, donkeys and the pig in the morning! Such a wonderful experience! Hope to come back one day ☺️

Very reccomended experience for kids and adults. This is an animal friendly farm run by wonderful ladies. They focus to give a house to animals with difficulties and to share this with other people . You can take a tour of the farm and enjoy the nice pool by the house and the tasty vegan Cafè . Very nice experience if you want to do something different in kelowna and to get to know this good people do and share.

I was amazed by this place and the resources they offer to people needing specialized therapy options. I've always believed in Equine therapy, based on my own personal experiences. Worth just checking out.

We went to Arion Therapeutic Farm to try the vegan food offered by a food truck. We found out that actually the food was prepared in the "kitchen" of the farmhouse instead. The vegan was prepared by a famous cook and was super delicious. The setting made us feel that we were eating in the host's family room, very cozy. We enjoyed our time their.

We visited the farm in August 2017 during a family trip to Kelowna. Our teenage daughter was becoming quite anxious/overstimulated and homesick. Our visit to the farm animals was very grounding and calming for her. The staff at the farm were very kind and took her for a solo tour around the farm. She was able to spend time with all of the animals. Her favourites were the goats and sheep. The visit to the farm remains the highlight of our trip to Kelowna. We were very grateful for the staff's efforts. They were very good at explaining all of the programs that they run, and the background of each of the animals. Arion is a wonderful place just outside of the city and we would recommend it as a place to see on your trip to Kelowna. It is especially good for kids who may be getting overwhelmed by doing city things and need a calming break during your trip.

My partner and I came to stay for 2 nights - it felt like home, we learned so much and Heather looked after us so well. There is a house that has 3 guest rooms and a large living space and kitchen that doubles as a cafe. We were the only guests so had the place to ourselves at night, and Heather came to cook breakfast in the morning. We loved the coffee and loose leaf teas that are included in the room rate, and waking up with the ponies outside the window was wonderful!
During our lovely day on the farm we had a tour then helped out with the mini ponies, before we were taught how to make our own sushi for lunch.
We wanted a mini retreat break so Heather provided all of our food. We are not vegans but really enjoyed what she cooked. Everything is very reasonably priced, and you know that any money you spend here is supporting a great asset to the community. I am leaving with new ideas and a new appreciation for what it means to follow your dream and make a difference.

Today I read an article on Castanet, a break in, in Vernon lost $400.00. I proceeded to donate to the cause to find the information required asked for a Zip code, not postal code, my question is this, is this a Vernon based donation or some American scam?AND if this is a Canadian Vernon thing why the Christ do you ask for a Zip Code???
Hello, We are located in Kelowna, and one of our volunteers set up the go-fund-me page when they heard about the robbery but we are not sure why it would ask for a Zip-Code, we have not heard about this problem from any other donors. We are sorry for any confusion that may have occurred.
