Having just gotten back from Kelowna, I can understand what some people are talking about in terms of not liking it.

Theres a lot to see and do in Kelowna and the surrounding area, but it really reminds me of being in the LA Suburbs. Its hot, a lot of people have chosen alternatives to grass lawns and gone to water-less options, but yeah, huge chunks of Kelowna are a strip-mall and washed out suburb wasteland.

Theres parts of Kelowna that are amazing, waterfront parks, beaches, West Kelowna, the wineries. But if you're just some kid going to school in Kelowna and your parents dont have a house on the hill with a boat its nothing special.

All in all though, its a really nice place to visit.
