The Innovation Centre - Kelowna, British Columbia

The rooftop venue was absolutely breathing taking for our wedding ceremony! From the view of the Okanagan Lake, to the rooftop decor (hanging lights, pergola, patio furniture) and even the inside of the building itself, it was beyond incredible. Sammi was extremely helpful from the very beginning of our planning. She was quick in responding to emails and flexible with meeting times. She was very accommodating for our requests and our vision for our special day! She was at our ceremony making sure it was exactly what we wanted and helped to make sure it all went as planned! We cannot believe our ceremony was so gorgeous and are in love with our wedding photos because of the ceremony location! Highly recommended!!!!!

Taking a summer camp here at the animation studio that the OC owns. The building it’s self is beautiful though I can’t saw much about the staff since we didn’t talk to any. I’ll update this review once I get the chance to touch on all subjects.

The Innovation Centre in Kelowna is a dynamic hub for creativity, entrepreneurship, and community collaboration. The modern design and open spaces foster a vibrant atmosphere, making it a great place to work, attend events, or network with like-minded professionals. With diverse startups, tech companies, and educational programs, the center is an inspiring environment for innovation. The rooftop views and on-site amenities like coffee shops make it even more enjoyable. A must-see for anyone in the tech scene!

I was having lunch recently on the public rooftop of the Innovation Centre and witnessed a disturbing interaction between the security guard and a group of young school children that were also sitting having lunch. It looked like the kids had just arrived, and the security guard came up to kick them all out.

I personally thought it was nice to see the rooftop space being enjoyed, and the kids looked spread out across the whole area so they weren't being disruptive. Other adults were also sitting at the tables having lunch as well and nobody seemed bothered (other than the security guard). It felt like the Innovation Centre may have been kicking them off because they wanted to charge them to sit and have their lunch there, but their website says "bring your lunch and enjoy the sunshine", and it's not like they were holding a private wedding or event for profit. That sits wrong with me.

The employee was publicly disrespectful in front of young children and I saw this even directed towards the children. I thought was inappropriate and, as a woman, he made me feel uncomfortable. I will hesitate before visiting the rooftop or spending money at any business in this facility in the future, based on the inappropriateness of what I witnessed in this interaction.

We had a corporate event at the Innovation Centre with 90 guests. Paulo and the whole crew from Gather took care of us completely. They exceeded expectations and always had a smile on their faces.
We will be back for future events!

Place where startups gather together there (Accelerate Okanagan and many other startups). There’s coffee shop inside for snack and coffee, and one on the roof top. Also it’s right next to Okanagan Regional Library, very convenient when you want to drop by for quick read. There are many event hosted by AO where you are bound to meet interesting people, for example, okanagan tech live event.

I quite enjoyed the place. Upon entrance to the building they had a little private booth thing I've never seen (introvert here, lol). As well as a little spot INSIDE for bikes to be locked up. More of a quiet space, especially for downtown. The blenz in there is the quietest I've ever been to,we loved it. Fairly stroller friendly. Nice building overall.
