The Courtyard Cafe in the Harrison Lake Hotel - Inviting you to a 'dine and paint' night with Empty Canvas Party from 6:00 - 9:00 pm. Enjoy a pasta dinner, with dessert included, finishing the night off by painting a chalk-paint canvas! Tickets are $110 per couple.
Morgan's Bistro - Come experience what fresh, house-made, and farm-to-table tastes like with a special Prix Fix 4-course menu that is sure to wow you. Romance is built right into Morgan's year-round ambiance.
MORE FEEL GOOD MOMENTS
Why stop your date night with dinner?
Wine, dine, and save at Harrison Beach Hotel. It's Romance at Dusk or Dawn with two amazing package deals. Arrive to a bottle of wine and dine at Morgan's Bistro or the Black Forest. If you choose the 'dawn' option, indulge in breakfast at Suzy’s Café or Harrison Corner Café.
If you're wanting something a little more secluded, Harrison Resort & Spa's Getaway Package is your go-to. Enjoy two nights away while rejuvenating in the soothing hot springs pools and enjoy breakfast at the Lakeside Cafe.
Pack up the people you love most and celebrate BC’s Family Day at Harrison Hot Spring’s Family Fun Day. While February 18th marks Family Day this year, we are celebrating on Saturday, February 16th in Memorial Hall from 10 am - 3 pm!
Science World is returning, again, with live demonstrations throughout the day. The kids can enjoy a variety of games, crafts, and a bouncy castle that will keep them entertained all day! Don't forget to stop by Wildsafe BC's table to learn about wildlife and safety.
NEW this year is a showing of the movie, Harry and the Hendersons, after the main event at 4:30 pm.
Harrison is a popular staycation spot for families looking to escape for a few days.
Mom and Dad will get plenty of rest and relaxation and the kids will have a great time swimming in our hot springs pools. Warm winter brings an early spring and we are seeing new buds and blossoms. Take the family for a trail walk or a lake adventure with Harrison Eco Tours. Magical memories are guaranteed!

Harrison Hot Springs is far enough away to feel away from it all,
but only a scenic 1.5-hour drive from Vancouver.
Love the journey as much as the visit.

A new year is upon us! The start of a cycle brings refreshed energy. Perhaps you've decided to pursue a passion project, focus on your health, take more quality 'me' time, or spend time outdoors.
We have a few ideas to help kickstart 2019!
Harrison's Healing Nature Will Renew and Refresh
REJUVENATE: Take a forest or cultural walk.
Spirit Trail: A short easy 20-minute, marked by clay masks.
Spirit Trail Loop: A moderate 2-hour walk through Lower Bear Mountain consisting of forest, wetlands, cliffs. This closed loop is home to a wide variety of wildlife.
Heritage Walk: An easy 90-minute walk. Learn about Harrison's history as you explore historical buildings and landmarks. Download our map. Be sure to stop by the Sasquatch Museum and learn about the footprint of this mythical creature!
LAKESIDE TIME: Sit in silence
Grab your favourite warm beverage and take in the calming views of Harrison Lake and its surrounding mountains.
BALANCE: Adventure and Relaxation
Get your family ready for a fun day-trip! Grab your skis or snowboard and head to Sasquatch Mountain Resort or take a (covered) jetted boat tour with Harrison Eco Tours, ending the day with a hot springs soak or dinner at one of our awesome restaurants like Milos Greek Taverna and Black Forest, complete with heated, covered patios.
