There is much to do at Tranquille Farm, a 147 year old historic site just outside Kamloops.

It was originally settled in 1865 and became a big name in agricultural production, however in 1930 the provincial government purchased and diversified the farm to produce the majority of food and dairy for the 1000 staff and patients working and living at the neighbouring Tranquille Institution.  Though the government closed the farm and institution in 1985, independent investors purchased both again and are transforming it into a leading edge urban farm, while still paying heed to its historical value.

On weekends, the historic barns house a farmer and artisan market.  The property is also used for other significant events in Kamloops culture, such as local bands, culinary artists, and artisans.  The corn maze and historic tours make for fun family outings.

For a spooky experience in autumn months, come out for the Tunnel Tours that run from early September to late October and learn the secrets of the underground tunnel system at the Tranquille Intitution while also getting a wagon tour of the abandoned facility by night.
