Thompson Rivers University

4.5/5(7 reviews)

Enjoy the collegiate vibe when you visit Thompson Rivers University, during your travels in Kamloops. Wander the riverfront in this culturally rich area.

Checked this place out today and wow talk about impressive! I was looking for a place to swim today and this place stood out. To my surprize was just how gigantic it was!!!

This place not only has an Olympic sized swimming pool but it also has a waterslide, several diving boards, a super hot steam room, 2 gyms, indoor and outdoor track, huge gymnastics room, 3 basket ball courts and more.

If your ever in Kamloops I strongly recommend you check this out. They have day passes, monthly passes, and yearly plans.

Now if it wasn't so hard to get to lol! I am living downtown and had to climb up a huge hill/mountain to get here as its way way way up top.

I was so sweaty and exhausted from trying to walk there that the pool never felt so good. Ahhhhh!

Tonight I ate at a different restaurant called White Spot. I must say it was rather tasty but I still preferred City View Restaurant. Chicken seems to really taste different in British Columbia. Seems so much more fresh.

Anyhow this was the Blacked Chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy.

Great hiking trails wind their way all throughout the hills here making for a new adventure every time #hike #exploreBC #naturalbeauty

Good fresh #Canadian style #Chinese food. Big portions, perfectly cooked, and reasonably priced. Get the Moon Wok Special for one.

Found this incredible restaurant with an amazing view of the city. This place can be found just beside the scenic lookout point. Enjoying the coffee tonight but the food tomorrow :)
