About Urban Kids
Children grow out of clothes faster than any household budget expects, which is what keeps a dedicated kids floor busy inside a shopping centre. Urban Kids trades from 2271 Harvey Avenue in Kelowna, in the Orchard Park complex on the city's main east to west artery, under a roof it shares with dozens of other tenants.
Shops in this line tend to organise by age band rather than by garment, running from infant sizes up through the tween years, and the floor turns over hard with the calendar: shells and fleece as the valley cools, lighter cotton and swim gear once the beaches fill again. Sizing is the usual friction, because a label that fits one child at six will swamp another, so a call to 250-717-1171 to ask whether a size is out on the racks can save a second trip across town. It is worth asking too how exchanges are handled, since parents routinely buy a size ahead and guess wrong.
Harvey Avenue doubles as Highway 97 through Kelowna, which means the stretch outside carries local errands and everything moving between Vernon and the south valley at the same time. Traffic thickens through the hot months when visitors arrive, and left turns off the highway are the slow part of any trip here. The advantage of a centre this size is one parking stop for several errands, with bus routes converging from Rutland, Glenmore and the Mission.

Where to shop in Kelowna: three centres and a market
Kelowna's retail splits into three non-overlapping centres, and knowing which one you need saves an afternoon of driving. Bernard's boutiques, Pandosy's independents, the highway belt's boxes, and the farmers market above them all.
