Orange Torpedo Trips Rogue River has been a staple for adventure seekers, offering exhilarating whitewater rafting experiences on the Rogue River and other stunning Southern Oregon rivers for over 50 years. Their trips are well-organized from start to finish, ensuring that guests have an unforgettable experience. While there may be occasional communication hiccups regarding group sizes, the dedicated guides rise to the occasion, providing exceptional support and camaraderie among rafters.
Absolutely amazing family vacation. Some of the best views and company ever. JP, Matt, Artesia and Camilla were the best. The food was amazing and Artesia got us the best camp sites. Can’t recommend them enough for the 4 day Rogue trip!!

Super experienced outfitter that knows the Rogue forward and back, in and out. Why? We were w 2 veteran-status guides who could do this blindfolded, hands tied, and spun around 20 times, Hunter & Ben. Everything felt in control, they made all the logistics work w/o any need for us to even think, and ensured everyone in the party had shared experiences in the paddle raft, inflatable kayak, and in the water. Both are middle school teachers and you can tell based on their listening and desire to contribute and have their “students” (us) get as much as we wanted out of it. Guides were great. Itinerary. 3 days lodge based Rogue, about 40 miles (Strava’d mileage), w mix of class 2-4 rapids. Lots of mixed speed stuff throughout: rapid, then calm water, then rapid, then calm. We had 2 kids (10, 14) + 1 adult in the raft and had enough horsepower to get us thru. Nights were at lodges. The one at BlackBar was def welcome over a tent, but was hot and pretty basic (I liked it as having a touch of simplicity was welcome). 2nd night was at Paradise and it basically is that, esp after the first place. New fresh wood, clean, bugless, electricity whenever u need, cabin had full private bathroom and 3 beds (2 singles + 1 Queen). Great experience for families. Would def use Orange Torpedo again. Only change we might make for the next adventure is the river, where we may search for higher class, more technically demanding and fewer still-water bits. Or maybe do an inflatable kayak trip - it was so fun and liberating! But the guides were tops, wouldn’t change at all, and their students are lucky to have them.

Just did a 3-day lodge trip! It was so amazing! Stayed at Black Bar Lodge & Paradise Lodge. Both were great and the food was awesome! The guides with OTT are very experienced and a lot of fun! I highly recommend this trip and can’t wait to do it again next year!
Carie W — Google review
Had a great half day trip doing Nugget Falls. Now we can’t wait to do more rafting! Plus it sparked our interest in returning to kayak the Rogue. Highly recommend the tour company. Friendly folks at every stage. Great guide. He made the trip feel easy and there was some crazy water to navigate. Tons of fun.

9 years ago we drove down from Seattle and met up with our Oregon friends at Orange Torpedo and did our 1st rafting trip on the Rogue River. This trip as expected last weekend, did not disappoint. We had an amazing time, great trip with Orange Torpedo. Absolutely loved our guide, Will, very personable and knowledgeable... Couldn't have had a better experience, it just got better !

I have rafted with many different companies around the country, and this is without doubt the best. We did a 6 day row your own with them on the Main Salmon in mid June as we didn’t get a permit. Erik was incredibly accommodating with all the logistics (we rented rafts from them as well), always easy to reach and very helpful with all the questions. Plus the pricing was very affordable. The trip was amazing. Ryan, Tristan and Henry were fantastic. They got us all the best camp sites, showed us all the lines, the best hikes, the secret spots. We couldn’t believe how good the food was: they are masters of the dutch oven, with cinnamon rolls, cherry pie, and chocolate cake, and grilling steaks, fish, and barbecued chicken. The breakfast game is strong: eggs, burritos, french toast, sausages, and hash browns. It was a huge relief not having to do all the cooking and set up and to have their local knowledge to help keep us safe. They were so much fun to be around; we laughed a lot. Whether you are doing a regular or row your own, I highly recommend OTT. I’m sure all their river trips are great although I will always have a soft spot for the Main Salmon. Thanks guys.🙏

What an adventure! We rafted/kayaked the lower Salmon, 3 night/4 days and it was one of my favorite trips I have ever done. I highly recommend OTT. From booking to the very end it was all very well organized. Our guides (Ethan, Tristan, & Noah) were so amazing and so fun! The meals were outstanding and they were so good about telling us all sorts of facts and info about the area as we rode the river. The beauty of this section of the Salmon river can't even be captured in photos. Plus we also saw a lot of wildlife - river otters, golden/bald eagles, and mountain goats. This was our very first time doing something like this and we would definitely do it again through OTT.

Well what can say, but Wow! Our trip was phenomenal but we couldn’t do it without our amazing guides. Becka, Hayden, and JP did an outstanding job from cooking, story telling, and sharing adventures with us. This amazing people were humble and caring.

We did another Row trip on the Middle Fork of the Salmon river and loved every minute of it so this time we did the 4 day/3 night lodge to lodge trip on the Rogue River and LOVED it. As a matter of fact I think Row should make it a 5 day/4 night so I could spend two days at the last heavenly lodge!! The guides (Ryan,Tom,Keith,Anna and Kayla) were all fantastic. They make sure you feel safe and happy all the time. Every element of the trip is carefully tended to and the joy they give is real. Food is delicious and it is fun to stay in lodges especially because it poured rain on us the first day. After that it was gorgeous weather and we had inflatable kayaks on days 2 and 4. I had never kayaked before but decided to give it a go! What a great time that was. The guides are engaging and so much fun to be with. Row really understands hospitality. Lucky us!! Thinking the Sea of Cortez trip next time.

We did a four day lodge to lodge trip on the Rogue River and we had a fantastic time. Our excellent guides (Anna and Shayden) were super fun and friendly and made us feel very comfortable. The food at the lodges and on the river was terrific. I would do this trip again thru ROW in a heartbeat and strongly recommend them for their excellence.

Amazing trip! The 4 day lodge trip on the Rogue is worth every penny. Our family had the best time and we saw bears, deers , eagles , osprey and more. The lodges and food were fantastic. Our guides were super and made it fun for all. Highly recommend this trip and our guides Ryan and Anna!

Just finished a fantastic 5 day trip going 81 miles through Hells Canyon. Every detail was well organized, from the packing list that was perfect and easy to follow, to the opening meeting and the trip itself. It was easy to have a bag brought to the end with some clean clothes for the end of the trip! The meals were absolutely incredible, the physical exertion was on a “choose your level” spectrum, and camp life was lovely. We definitely chose the right time of year with the end of June—the weather was gorgeous, and brief rain storms were easily recovered from with dry weather that got all of our gear dried. We had a group of 4, and got time together and also time to bond with the other 14 members of our trip who were lovely. It was easy to navigate different combinations of us among the various boats. It is an adventure—as a non-experienced white water rafter, I was worried when they said that only the first few days would have class iv rapids, but every single day had significant rapids, and later in the trip they pulled out kayaks we could choose to use instead of being on a large raft. For wildlife spotters, we saw mountain goats, bighorn sheep, otters, bald eagles, and most entertainingly, mergansers zipping up and down the white water with their chicks. Most importantly, our guides were knowledgeable, skilled, and fun. Connie, Jen, Raya, Cushi (sp?), Charlie and Beck absolutely made our trip fantastic.

Wow. Simply wow! First off, I’m fully prejudiced as or guide, Liz (Elizabeth to me), is my daughter. Lucky me! She was absolutely amazing. Best yet, the full guide team, back office and ownership was just so remarkable in our whole experience. The level of organization, safety precautions, communication, connection to the lodges, connections to the guests, and love for the river was brilliant. I will always love this company for how great they have been for my daughter to work with. Then the next level guest experience was some of the best. I cannot wait to do more adventures with ROW.

Wow, what an incredible adventure me and my daughter had rafting down the rogue river. I can’t say enough how professional and good our guides were. Liz, Mike and Byron showed amazing patients and were full of information. And the people that we shared the trip with were all amazing as well. We all came from different walks of life. All different age groups. It’s definitely a trip that me and my daughter will remember. Thank you Row Adventures…

An incredible trip with a fabulous group of people. The guides for our Rogue trip were experienced and funny, taking great care to ensure each member of the trip had a ball. I also loved the historical context of the region they brought to the trip. Our three teenagers were never hungry (very unusual) and never bored. The lodges on the Rogue were full of character and characters, adding to our overall experience. I can’t recommend enough ROW in general and the Rogue team in particular. One of our best family vacations. Thanks ROW!
Heather L — Google review
The Rogue River is a Wild and Scenic river accessible only by boat or by hiking and, because of this, rafting the river is a privilege and quite magical. The rapids were interspersed by gentle paddling where we could watch the Western Turtles basking on the rocks or watch the mergansers floating around the rocks. An Osprey with a small fish in its talons was a rarer treat. The trip was excellently organised and the guides informed us of the human history of the river. I loved the rapids, the swimming, and the gentle pace of the days. The short hikes were welcomed. The lodges were a treat - each special in their own way - and the food was outstanding. The guides were exceptionally thoughtful, kind, professional, and skilled. My favourite section was the Mule Creek Canyon; at first rapid and then as a quiet river between the two canyon walls. It was a place to shut-up and just listen to the water in this high-sided chamber. Thank you to Tom, Byron, Jonas, and Liz. @rowadventures

We LOVED our half day rafting adventure down the Rogue River with Todd. We felt safe, informed and just had a delightful time in general. One of our kids went in the kayak much of the journey and even though he didn’t have a ton of experience, I felt like Todd gave clear, excellent direction that made me feel safe as a parent and that his safety was the priority and clearly cared that he had a great time too. Todd shared his knowledge and information about the river and the area, as well as just enjoying the company of the group and some quiet time to enjoy the ride. Also, the lunch was delightful - a right-sized buffet with meatloaf, bbq chicken, Mac and cheese, cookies, farm to table salad, fruit, chips and more.

We had the BEST day rafting the Rogue-and our guide Dan made it unforgettable! He was fun, energetic, and made sure we always felt safe while finding adventure and beauty around every bend. Dan shared so many interesting facts and stories—things we never would’ve thought to ask about! His knowledge and passion really made the trip special. Highly recommend this experience—and if you can, request Dan!

My wife, teenage son, and I recently did a full day guided trip on the Rogue River. We can't say enough about our experience, which was overwhelmingly positive. Our guide, Todd, was outstanding. Solid training on safety in and out of the boat, while also having lots of fun. Todd's stories about the history, ecology, and other knowledge of the river, is locked in our memories. He was kind and attentive to all of our needs, while also challenging us and teaching essential skills. Our multi course lunch, cooked by Rob, was delicious, beautifully arranged, and plentiful. The time at the lodge was relaxing and scenic. We are now hooked and are hoping to do an overnight trip next summer. Thanks again!

I have a group of friends who do hiking trips together every few years, and this year we picked Morrisons Rogue River hike with support from guides on rafts. Booking the trip was relatively straightforward, but Morrisons highly encouraged us to do trip insurance because they don't offer refunds, which should've been the first red flag. Before I go too far, I do want to give a huge shout out to our guides Drew, Adam, and Johnny. They were amazing, and if I were rating just them, this review would be 5++ stars. They were friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely cared about us and our hike. The rest of the Morrison's staff...not so much. There was an active wildfire in the area before we started the hike. We talked to Morrison's several times in the days leading up to the trip (before we flew out) and even asked about rebooking the trip for a different time, when the forest in the area wasn't on fire. We were assured that even though they were planning a few modifications to our itinerary (i.e. at least one day of rafting instead of hiking), they were confident that it would be a wonderful trip. Fast forward to the end of day 2 of our trip...and they had to cancel the rest of the 4-day hike due to safety concerns and, ultimately, a mandatory evacuation. To be clear, I'm not upset that we were pulled out of the woods, as that was an obvious safety decision. I'm mad because we specifically asked about rebooking for different dates and were told no. Morrison's got us back to their main lodge the following morning, at which point they considered themselves done with us. There was no refund, no help finding rooms for the night, and the last lodge we were in literally wouldn't even let us use the bathroom in the hour we were waiting for vans to get us back to safety. Morrison's did at least send us all an official email about the trip cancellation so that we could share that with our travel insurance (if we'd purchased it) to try to get a refund, but that was about it. Morrisons also made the guides tell us, rather than having anyone higher up in the company talk to us. From what we can tell, they also didn't do anything to help their guides (e.g. helping them find lodging) once the trip was canceled. I will also add that I'm vegetarian, and although there was a lot of very tasty vegetarian food available, vegetarian protein was extremely scarce. For dinner the two nights we hiked (~9 mi on day 1 and 15 mi on day 2), there was no source of vegetarian protein for me to eat. (The gluten free and dairy free people fared much better.) It would've been so easy to roast a portobello mushroom the way they roasted salmon, or to do some kind of meat substitute when they did ribs (they did have meat substitute at the lunches, and eggs or veggie patties at breakfast). I had brought some protein powder with me, but not enough to make up for dinners without protein. My friends ended up giving me the protein bars they'd brought for themselves to try to make up for the dinners. To Morrison's: please consider all macronutrients (carbs, fat, AND protein) when planning meals for your guests! Overall, I would absolutely go back to the river with any of the guides, but I'll never use Morrisons again, and I recommend that you don't either.

The historic bridge collapsed on July 6th, 2003, a year before it was schedueled for maintainace.

Beautiful grounds and scenery. Comfortable and tasteful decor. We came here with our kids and family, and got three flights (two red and one white). The grounds were kid friendly and the staff were too 😁 The tastings were priced affordably and the wines were delicious. Our favorites were the vioigner, sav blanc, cab sav, and malbec. We'd love to come back!

Kimberly was nothing short of amazing! If you’re looking for legitimately great food to pair with your wine, this is your place. And don’t even try NOT to order the the curry chicken salad, it’s a given 😜 and you will not be disappointed. Grab the prosciutto wrapped dates and you’ll have most of the wine menu pairings taken care of. Absolutely loved it!

My wife and I enjoyed a flight of red wines at Kriselle Cellars on Monday afternoon. We arrived approximately 90 minutes before closing. The winemaker briefly visited with us - a great bonus. My wife and I liked the Malbec and Cab Sauv best, but all were very tasty. I had not been to southern Oregon and was a bit reluctant to get the red wine flight as I prefer dark/bold reds - Kriselle's red wines exceeded my expectations by being very dark and bold (and tasty). I had a glass of the Malbec while my wife then had a glass of the Rose' while enjoying views of the beautiful estate. We would definitely return!

Stopped by this Winery on Sunday. Very pleasant place with good wine. That is why I give them any stars at all. The experience was ruined by the way one of their employees was treating a group of guests at another table. They were a young group much younger than me and my wife. They were having fun but that ended when the winery's employee would not serve them any longer. She claimed that they had too much to drink. This clearly was not the case. The employee seemed to have taken a personal disliking to the group. Very sad to see this happen. Kriselle Cellars you will not be getting anymore of my business if you continue to hire that kind of help.

Seven Feathers Casino Resort

Casino hotel

Laid-back casino resort offering rooms & RV spaces, plus 3 restaurants, a spa & live concerts.
Stopped here for a little food and rest on my way south. Played at the tables a little. Dealer was very friendly and pleasant. Had the signature dish at the Stix restaurant; fish and chips. I was pleasantly surprised; fries and fish were cooked perfectly. The slaw that cane with it was better than expected and the bartenders were super nice and friendly. Stayed at the dry parking area for RVs and campers and had a great nights sleep.

This place is great. Huge parking lot which was important because we were towing a car trailer. The hotel staff were very friendly. Very clean everywhere. We had a pet friendly room. The room was spacious and very clean. No animal smells. They provide bowls for the pets! Bed was comfy although on the firmer side. Honestly, the only downside for me was the smell of smoke from the casino. I am highly sensitive to it so it bothered me. We would still stay here again. Very nice place and reasonable price. p.s. I got an espresso martini at The Edge Bar and it was really good!

So I usually go at least twice a month. I used to get free play and free nights. I drive 3 hours because I like the place alot. (I used to.. ). I missed 1 month of going there and they demoted me. I no longer get a free room at casino or free play. I spend alot too. The pool used to be great with the spouts. There gone. The hot tub hasn't worked the last 2 times I went. I used to tell everyone they need to go there. I won't be saying that anymore. The bartenders are amazing and the staff is very friendly. I will go back just to see the bartender sara. Just not as much anymore. There's no incentive to drive 3 hours twice a month anymore.

I don't consider 3 stars to be sub par. I was not blown away by the resort. It doesn't stand out in my head. hence the 3 stars. This is only in reference to the gaming area. Very limited black jack tables and had a significant wait. The dealers were very competent and as engaging as normal. I understand that free drinks is not possible and not expected, but paying $7 for an IPA is what I would pay at an upper end bar. I feel and heard people saying 'At least a little lower prices would seem fair' I understand the laws about over service And agree. The server's are great. Thank you

(See edit below to get the whole story) We absolutely love this resort!! The grounds are immaculate, the service is topnotch (everyone is super professional and goes out of their way to make your stay memorable). Felipe, and all the staff at the front desk, keep things running smoothly, and James is always a delight to meet on the grounds. We couldn't be happier. Five stars and a plus! EDIT 9/26/25 This resort seems to have a problem with its security staff. Not only did they give us wrong information, harass us, and ruin the front door of our trailer at the Casino's dry lot, two men appeared last night at 8pm to kick us out because "The Casino doesn't want you here anymore, because you've threatened with legal action." What does the Casino have to do with the RV Resort? They are separate entities, as the head of the security told us in May (we even asked when we arrived here if it was going to be a problem, answer: No, you can stay here, we're separate, you're not blacklisted here). So do they run money scams here? Tell you it's okay to stay, then kick you out two weeks into a month's stay so they don't have to refund you the money? And why would they even use the small claims case against us? Security ruined our door, the Casino won't respond to emails, and somehow that's our fault too? (Our door costs 1K to fix, the dividends wouldn't cover the effort, so we decided against the suit). Or perhaps this whole thing is about security covering their own deeds as they were the ones who ruined our door and clearly don't want to be held accountable for it. I'm so deeply disappointed at this whole resort at this moment.

My husband, my self & mother in law decided to have a fun night of bingo. Service was good, very helpful. Things were going well for the first hour. Then for some reason the side we were on filled with cigarette smoke. Unfortunately my mother in law loses her voice when ever she gets near any smoke. We had to leave we weren't even 1/2 way through. I understand that we'd played a few games. But we still had several pages left. There was no offer by staff for any reembersment, not even partial.

Stayed here as a half way point on a trip to California. The room was very comfortable besides a noisy mattress cover under the sheets. The giant LED sign in front of the casino is extremely bright and you can see flashing lights from the edges of the curtains if you are facing the front. Definitely request to face the back of the casino if you can. Great art! Friendly service. I hope to go back sometime to try the new tower hotel.

Stayed here on a recent trip from California to Washington State. Rooms are neat, clean and reasonable. The restaurant served excellent food and the waiter staff was fantastic, even making a drink for my sister that was not on the menu. The Casino is smoke free and is very clean and well maintained. The slots were a bit tight, but that is to be expected. I'll definitely stop here again.

A hidden gem of a vineyard. EVERY wine is delicious, it’s small production, and they have stories to tell. There’s a reason I’m a member here…and I don’t live in Oregon. Extra kudos to Carly for giving me a personalized wine tasting today. Such a lovely place. 💚🍷

A great little winery with excellent wines. Chance, the sommelier, was very informative both about the wines and the history of the winery. I even asked if he was family. It is a bit out of town, but well worth the trip.

Kristie, who is very cool, did our wine tasting and gave us a tour and it was so much fun!! All the wine is delicious and they have so many interesting varietals to try. The Baco Noir and Seyval Blanc I’d never tasted anywhere else.

The oldest winery in Douglas county, family owned and operated. Decadent wines. Try them all. We celebrated my mom's 80th birthday and had a grand time.

A friend took us to Giardet Vineyards. She goes there often and, even, helps them. The vineyard is set off the road and set against a beautiful green hill. The tasting room has a front area for visitors and a back area for bigger events. They also have chairs outside for a relaxed afternoon sipping wine. We did a tasting. I did like some of the wines, though, many would be better with a bit of age. Boco Noir, Traldigo and Cabernet were good. My favorite was a Riesling. It was mellow with a bit of sweetness that was perfect for summer. I definitely recommend trying Giardet Vineyards. It’s a smaller, more friendly and laid back place to do a tasting to find what you like and buy a couple bottles and enjoy an afternoon with friends. It’s a bit out of the way but I like it that way.

We stopped by spontaneously while driving on the highway and it was so worth the stop. Don’t look for signage, just follow your gps. The wine was great, the people were very friendly, and the whole thing was just unpretentious and down to earth. The Barbera and Baco were our favorites.
Margarita M — Google review
Amazing winery! We stopped by a few other places in the area and this one was by far the best! We enjoyed every one of their wines (including the cab sav, which we aren’t usually fans of!) Christie was very knowledgeable and fun to talk to as well! We will definitely be back when we are back in the area.

Abacela Winery

Winery
Food & Drink
Abacela Winery is named after an old Spanish word meaning "to plant grapevines." The winery, run by a husband-wife team, offers a wide variety of beautifully complex and structured wines. Visitors can enjoy the full-flavored light wines and also have the option to pair them with food. The staff, like wine expert Hailey, are known for being friendly and informative, making for a wonderful overall experience at Abacela Winery.
My boyfriend and I randomly stumbled across this winery on our way back to our hotel from the Wildlife Safari. We have very limited experience with wine tastings, and we showed up admittedly a bit closer to their closing time than I would have normally liked, but we were looking for a new experience. We unfortunately did not catch our server's name, but he was excellent. He made us feel welcome despite arriving closer to their closing time. His timing was impeccable, and our wine and food were delicious. He said he had been working there for about 5 years, and his knowledge for their wines was very apparent. If we ever visit the area again, we will definitely be back and will arrive earlier! 😅

Location was beautiful. Food was great. Service we impressive tableside. Staff was very friendly. Enjoyed a wine flight however I hate to say it was not one of the better flights I've enjoyed at a winery. They all tasted and looked pretty similar. Reservations were suggested online however for our visit on a Tuesdays afternoon it was not needed. I'm sure with their pizzas cooked in the pizza oven they are much busier on Fridays.

We have been wanting to try the Roseburg wine region for some time now, and finally got a chance to stop in while on the way to the coast. This winery has a stunning facility with gorgeous views! The staff was friendly, though they struggled with a couple of my questions about their wines. The wines themselves are ok for the most part, with the Tempernillo being their best by far. The wine making philosophy seems centered on re-creating the climate of Spain wine growing regions, which is an interesting approach. I would love to try thier wines 10 years down the road when they have had a chance to refine their winemaking. Definitely worth a visit!
Rebecca F — Google review
Wine and food was wonderful, but our waitress was less than friendly. We know we were dressed down (it was an unplanned visit), but it was no reason to give unwelcoming service from the girl with dark hair and tattoos. It was forgotten that we ordered a charcuterie, and had she come back, I would have ordered another bottle of wine. The red-headed waitress, however, was much better when we flagged down for service. 3 stars for the good food and wine and the red-headed girl, -2 for the dark-haired girl. I must also mention that we were the only people in the dining area
Janell M — Google review
Stunning venue. Focus on exceptional Spanish wines. Very good service. Tasting fee varies: $15-25 based on reserve level. Pours are good. I recommend getting both levels to compare standard with reserve level (sometimes we preferred standard!) Fees waived with each $50 purchase.

My wife and I did the Vineyard tour with Greg Jones the CEO and had the best time. We learned so much and got treated to beautiful sites and delicious wines. It was incredibly special and can’t thank the Abacela team enough for making it one of the highlights of our vacation to southern Oregon.

Wildlife Safari

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Wildlife and safari park
Nature & Parks
Wildlife Safari is a 600-acre park that boasts an impressive collection of animals from around the globe. Visitors can embark on a 4.5-mile drive-thru loop to see these creatures up close and in their natural habitats, including deer and emus giving birth. Beyond the drive-thru, guests can also explore the barn and get even closer to some of the animals.
I was really impressed by this experience. There was an area that included a petting zoo that was free upon paying for the drive-through safari. It was very nice to walk around and enjoy. The drive-through was so much fun. It was a hot day, so a lot of the animals were resting in the shade close to their food. We got to see the bears being fed and a rhino taking a refreshing swim.

Our family had the most unforgettable experience at Wildlife Safari in Winston! Before our visit, the staff was incredibly kind and understanding of our situation, and they went out of their way to support us. We are deeply grateful for their generosity. We came on Friday, August 15, and the emotions we all felt are beyond words. The kids were absolutely thrilled, and our grandmother, who is visiting from Russia, was in complete awe — she had never seen anything like this in her life. We were lucky enough to see cheetah cubs, a giraffe came right up to our car, and the sweetest little deer licked our hands. We all had goosebumps from the excitement! Thank you, Wildlife Safari, for giving our family such a magical and once-in-a-lifetime experience. We will cherish this memory forever!
Elena S — Google review
One of a kind wildlife safari experience. I would recommend places to visit with kids and friends. Interactive place to learn about wildlife and watch a few of the well known species in kind of wild settings. Unfortunately, this place is only accessible via car/personal automobile. Inside you can take a tour bus/vehicle- depends. The tickets were reasonably priced and we opted to purchase the tickets at the entrance counter. Online tickets are also available. For the entirety of the safari, we were inside our car and got to see wild animals like tiger, lions, ostrich, emu, foxes, deers, buffaloes, rhinos, pythons species, cheetah, lemurs and more. There are fun activities to do if you are visiting with kids such as educational sessions with experts, train rides, feeding animals and birds. There were cafes inside the establishment, restrooms were in usable conditions. Since we opted to be in our car for the entirety of the safari, I would say the experience was quite accessible for people of any age group. Staff were nice and friendly. Plenty of parking space was available at the establishment.
Dewansh R — Google review
This place is spectacular! We ended up spending almost two days here! Well I guess 1 day over all, as we wanted to do the big cat feeding and also meet the cheetah ambassador and take a pic. Both are completely worth it though I enjoyed the tiger feeding a bit more than the cheetah but that was probably because I like tigers more. My wife loved having our picture taken with the cheetah who you could also see as you walk into the front village. We started off with spending the first day driving through the safari. We were worried that it was going to be a bunch of driving and not a lot of seeing the animals. We were not disappointed though (except for the wolves) as most of the animals were out and about even though it was in the afternoon and about 90 degrees out at that time. We drove through all of the different zones and saw many animals in each. We are looking forward to the hyaenas that is hopefully going to be coming soon. We plan on coming back when we are in the area again as it is so much fun to visit the animals. All of the employees were super nice and accommodating, as well as knowledgeable. Great visit and a great place to spend a day with your family!

Went today on a rainy day, almost nobody there which made it like a private park for us. Amazingly beautiful place, great staff and set up. Truly a must see experience. I can't speak for a hot summer day when crowds form, but today was perfect.
Jack R — Google review
For $20+ for adults it’s a decent price to pay to experience this drive through. You not suppose to get out of your car. They do have some animals roaming free while others such as tigers, bears, lions etc remained behind fences. I would recommend this place if your kids and yourself enjoy seeing wildlife . You also don’t need to buy tickets in advance. Yes there is a restroom prior to entering the safari .
Maya H — Google review
10 out of 5 stars! This place was AMAZING. Plenty of space on the drive thru loop to pull over and let others pass or pass others. The animals all had so much space compared to other zoos I’ve visited. Overall so well kept & gift shop/playground/food area nice & clean too.

A Must-Visit Family Adventure at Wildlife Safari in Winston, Oregon! We had an absolutely unforgettable experience at Wildlife Safari during our trip through southern Oregon. This hidden gem offers a unique, up-close encounter with wildlife that you simply can’t get at a traditional zoo. The highlight of our visit was the drive-through safari. The 4.5-mile route took us through rolling hills and open fields where animals roam freely. We saw giraffes, rhinos, zebras, ostriches, elephants, bison, cheetahs, and even lions, all from the comfort of our own car! The animals were active and many came close to the vehicle, which was thrilling for both adults and kids. After the drive, we explored the walk-through section of the park. It’s smaller but well-maintained and perfect for families. We enjoyed seeing reptiles, monkeys, lemurs, and feeding the goats and miniture horses in the petting area. There are shaded areas, clean restrooms, and plenty of informative signs about the animals. Every staff member we met was friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about animal welfare and education. The facilities were clean, the parking was easy and free. Tips for Visitors: -Check third-party websites for discounted tickets and promotions. -Arrive early to see animals when they’re most active. -Bring snacks and water—there’s a cafe, but food options are limited. -Don't forget your camera or phone with zoom lens!

Service was good, but tasting fee was pricey compared to other wineries in the area. We ended up leaving without buying a bottle because we didn't love any of the wine we tasted and they were also not affordable. Not a place to go if you're doing tastings around the area or if you're on a budget.

Interesting set up. Not much of a place to enjoy wine if you visit during a rainy week day. Which seems to most days in roseburg. The son gives you a wealth of knowledge and history of wines to his degree. Spent enough to be comparable to a group of 4, but alone. Was hurried out of there because I was inquiring too much about wines and having a conversation with the son by the mom. The dad gave superb service to the group. But if you go in as one person, might not be received as well. Great reds. Thanks for the one time $200 Visit.

Recently my wife and I visited the Hillcrest winery and learned what "dry farming" was. The owner though she was busy (the only person working) took the time to answer our questions and share the history of Hillcrest. This is the oldest Estate Winery in Oregon and the owners are passionate about what they do. The wines are excellent and one should definitely make this winery a "for sure" stop!

I’ve been drinking Reustle’s wines for years but had never visited the winery. It’s a beautiful tasting room that feels like a European wine cave. I love their Gruner Veltliner but their other wines are great too, and I like that they experiment with different winemaking techniques and different types of oak. The little food pairings with the flight were a special touch as well. Gloria and her son were working the day I visited and they’re both delightful. The road up the hill is like driving over Swiss cheese so be careful!

We went here for a Mother’s Day special (closed on Sundays so it was on Saturday) The dish was waffles and chicken and came with one glass of sparkling wine. The waffles were delicious. The chicken a little over cooked. The wine was also delicious. But all told, not a 45 dollar per person meal. The property grounds are absolutely gorgeous. The facility itself? Top notch. Would definitely recommend on your tasting route. For the area, the wine prices are on the higher side. But well worth the visit for the scenery and ambiance.

If you find yourself down in Southern Oregon in the beautiful Umpqua Valley be sure to stop and enjoy an amazing experience at Reustle-Prayer Rock Vineyards. This place is truly one of those rare and wonderful places to enjoy delicious award winning wine, food and stunning views. The wine cave is perfect place to sit and relax while you sip and sample unique wines that provide a delightful experience. The staff is extremely friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and professional. They offer a pleasant atmosphere and an unforgettable experience. Reustle-Prayer Rock Vineyards is definitely a must visit vineyard for any occasion.

Beautiful tasting room. Kevin provided great information during our wine tasting in the wine cave. Very informative and knowledgeable about wine. Our favorite was the Tempranillo.

We came here as a family on a Friday afternoon. We were immediately astounded by the impeccable facilities- the grounds were unbelievably stunning and well kept. We felt like we were in an Italian villa. We ordered four tastings & food and were astounded by the customer service of the club manager and owner, Gloria. We felt seen and cared for the moment we walked in the door AND the wine was incredible! It was so lovely to sit outside on the sunny day (TONS of seating!) and see so many people enjoying their wine- including young families (HUGE plus!) We became members on the spot and look forward to many years of memories at Reustle!

Stepping into Reustle feels like being transported to another place in time, entirely. The building itself has features unlike anywhere else I've been. Quirky details like the humpty dumpty wine barrel add to its uniqueness. Great wine, served with tasteful pairings. It is a great place for wine touring, especially with Tristyn as a host from Experience Umpqua.

Amazing venue. Range of wine. Great service. Highly affordable bites to eat. Yes. really. The wine cave is absolutely gorgeous (rec to owner-play some Spotify guitar music lightly on the background) Wines range from pretty good to amazing. Tasting comes with accompanying bites and tasting fee dropped with purchase (fee $15 pp, spend $50 pp to waive fee) Such a terrific venue…..go!

Good winery and tasting room on the main street in Elkton. The owner was very friendly and responsive. Sample flight was $15, you sampled 4 wines of your choice, it was enough to split between two people, if you bought 3 bottles the sampler fee is waived, however the fee in June/July/August goes to charity which is admirable. We sampled 4 different red wines during our stay, we sat in the covered outside courtyard, there is also indoor seating available. The Ferris wheel and the Northern Pinot Noir were quite mild and agreeable. Overall we had an excellent experience at Brandborg Winery. They also have beer and cheese, wine, crackers.

We were feeling like we were in an RV caravan heading east on Hwy 38 and wanted a change of scenery. We like side trips and we like wine so we decided to stop in River’s Edge Winery on the corner of River Dr and Hwy 38. We are glad that we did. Colin Dudley did a great job of educating us on the wine and telling the story of the winery. All the wines that we tasted were excellent. We like trying unique varietals and we bought a couple bottles of their 2016 Baco Noir. We tasted the wine about week later and regret not buying more. We visited two other wineries that day and it reminded me of Sonoma County 40 years ago.

The best Mexican food I try in Oregon prices are cheap for the size of the plates the service is excellent and a really good atmosphere if I'm in the area I'm absolutely going Update after 1 or 2 years I went back to the area and want to try again the food at Hacienda vieja the beans and rice still bomb I order a carne asada plate , which I almost never do because I can make carne asada myself, but this one was so tender, juicy, and flavorful that I don't regret it. My son ordered a cheeseburger, and he said it was very good.

Recently had cause to go to Ashland, and was excited to knock a few towns off the Great Oregon Burger Bucket List (my quest to have a burger in every town in Oregon). Found a Mexican restaurant with burgers, La Pinata, in Drain, and headed over. Really cool local spot. Serves just about everything, friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere. Huge cookies!! Being sold to pay for trips to watch the Atlanta Braves, of which this is a mini Mecca for fans. I asked if it was a decent serving of onion rings, and boy howdy!! They gave about twice as much as most places do. Great prices, $20 with the tip for a big bacon burger, lots of onion rings, large drink, and two huuuuge cookies. Onion rings were great crispy batter with a soft onion inside, mild taste to the batter. I don't normally use fry sauce for onion rings, but wanted to try it, and the fry sauce is very solid-a slight tang and very smooth. If I lived in Drain, I'd probably probably be here twice a month just for fries & sauce with a beer to wash it down. I got the bacon mushroom Swiss burger, despite not being a typical mushroom burger guy, because it was recommended in reviews and is their top selling item overall according to the very helpful waitress. It was a burger you could smell the meat from while it was being brought to you. The tease of the scent alone promised a solid burger, and it lived up to its tease & reputation. Juicy beef and thick tasty bacon with a very generous helping of veggies on a solid bun. The mushrooms were great, just noticeable enough to know it's a mushroom burger without being over powering.

King Estate Winery, located in the Willamette Valley, is a renowned destination offering exceptional single vineyard wines. Visitors can enjoy wine tastings and tours while taking in breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding area. The winery also offers exquisite food options, including delightful salads with unique edible flowers that add an elegant touch to the dining experience. Guests can savor a variety of small lot wines and indulge in delicious desserts like the highly recommended blueberry cheesecake.
Large winery estate located in the outskirts of Eugene. Property is stunningly beautiful, around 1000 acres. Very hospitable staff, and we loved all the wines we tried. Given the property, one may expect an air of pretention, but all the employees were incredibly kind and welcoming. Our server was nice enough to provide us with a reinforced case box for the other wine we'd purchased so that we'd be able to bring the wine home on our flight. Nice variety of whites and reds, and they also source grapes from Washington and Southern OR. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area; you won't be disappointed.

As always great experience.. amazing service, great wine, and amazing food.. very good service, knowledgeable server. Calm, quiet, and serene environment. Best view ever. And electric car charging stations are free.

This winery, equipped with excellent infrastructure, operates only on weekdays and does not accept guests on weekends. While it’s a bit inconvenient that you have to provide your credit card information upfront when booking online, it’s still a place worth visiting at least once. Aside from the dining area, there’s virtually no shade, which is a bit disappointing. The interior space is rather ordinary, but once you’re seated at a table overlooking the surrounding scenery, you can feel a sense of perfect tranquility. They only serve light bites to accompany the wine tasting, so I ordered cheese and a few simple dishes. The flavor of the house-made butter and honey was delightful, and the foie gras spread on toast with additional toppings paired beautifully with the wine. Wine tasting costs $35, and other menu items are also quite pricey. Overall, the value for money isn’t great, but it’s a decent spot for a special outing. As for the wine itself, my personal taste found it somewhat flat—lacking a distinctive terroir, depth, or kick. I probably wouldn’t return, but I’d still recommend visiting at least once.

King Estate is truly a gem in Oregon! The views are absolutely breathtaking — overlooking rolling vineyards and fields of lavender, it genuinely makes you feel like royalty. The wine selection is beyond exceptional, with something for every palate, and the food is just as impressive. The fresh butter and honey, sourced straight from their own farm, add such a special, thoughtful touch to the dining experience. It’s also very kid-friendly, and the staff are warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. A must-visit destination for wine lovers and families alike!

Took my mom there to celebrate her 65th birthday, my 44th birthday, & my 22nd year anniversary with my company. Had an amazing time there back in mid September around harvest time. We caught a couple to do a tour with & were invited to join them after our flight tasting. We enjoyed that as well as the blueberry cheesecake which was by far the very best cheesecake that we had which led my mother to purchasing another to go. It was that good! Hope to be able to return sometime in the future. But want to give a very special thank you to Jodi & Lily for one of the most unforgettable experiences we'll always remember. I wish more of your products made it to San Antonio, Texas.

So excited to try the wine & experience the views & atmosphere we had heard so much about. We were on a family vacation, my husband, daughter, son in law & granddaughter drove up to Kings Estate & unfortunately didn't get to try the wine. We weren't greeted with a Welcome or smile, but told in the entry way to wait for a gentleman who would take us to the patio for tastings. We waited quite a while, the Gentleman came in asked what we wanted, left to go back to patio. After another hefty wait we decided to leave. Wow, rather disappointed when visiting from another state & all we received was scowls & frowns. Went down the road to Sweet Cheeks Winery!....It was phenomenal!
Sue R — Google review
We walked up and attempted to enjoy a wine tasting on vacation. The first time we were greeted was 5 minutes after we arrived. The gentleman did not seem interested in serving us (my 7 year old daughter was with us). After we were looked up and down, he told us his partner would be with us shortly. Another 5-10 minutes and the partner came up, gave us the side eye and asked if we were all together (my parents, husband, daughter and I). He then said he would try to find something outside. He went on to serve and interact with the 2 tables on the patio. Eventually, we decided to just leave. I cant speak to the quality of wine.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the King Estate Winery for brunch, and I must say it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. Nestled atop a hill, the winery offers stunning panoramic views that are truly a sight to behold on clear days. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the delectable food. The salad was delightful with its inclusion of unusual edible flowers, adding a touch of elegance and visual appeal. The fried potatoes served alongside had a crispy outer layer that gave way to moist insides. The dining environment and tasting room exudes an air of sophistication, with its elegant hardwood and possibly rock floor. The provision of well-stocked hygiene products in the bathroom was a thoughtful touch. The free electric car chargers were a welcome surprise, making it very convenient for those, like us, who drive electric vehicles. In conclusion, my experience at King Estate Winery was unforgettable. From the breathtaking views to the delicious food, and the impeccable cleanliness throughout the establishment, it was evident that this winery goes above and beyond to provide an exceptional experience for its guests.

Best BBQ in the Eugene area. Worth a pilgrimage! Brisket is perfect, slow cooked with bark and tender color. Great bartenders and a fun place to hear live music. Of course, fun to be in there and imagine Belushi and the Animal House crew dancing to Otis Day and the Knights!

Yes, it's the place from the movie. Yes, the food is good. Sadly, the only easy way to check out their menu is if you are a 75 yr-old who still uses Facebook for everything. Sad they don't bother with even a half-ass website. Their price list on Yelp looks like it's from 1985. A half-rack of reef ribs for 4 bucks? Yeah right.

Beautiful lake with plenty of parking and easy access for kayaking. The lake was very calm and only a few other boats creating some small waves. Such a pleasant day, definitely want to go back soon!
Lisa M — Google review
Easily accessible by Willamette Highway 58, it is a very nice serene recreational area. There is at least one boat launch in the area, and close to the town of Lowell with food and facilities.
W C — Google review
A decent place to play Frisbee in the park area near the dam. As lakes go, there are far more exciting choices up the road. It's popular with water skiers, though. Since Dexter Reservoir is basically for regulating flow from Lookout Point Reservoir above, it remains at a pretty steady level despite fluctuations in the water level of Lookout Point Reservoir. The covered bridge that is now alongside the newer road across the lake to Lowell can be of interest to some, as well as a place to go fishing nearby.

This is where it’s a happening! All things Big & small are right here in my Home Sweet Home... Lowell, Oregon ! Lowell is Beautiful and just the right size for all who decides to make this sweet and quiet little town their families next stop by to enjoy the beautiful Willamette forest in the backdrop as well as the many hiking trails and the water sports or to enjoy the camping grounds as well! I recommend a big helping of peace and tranquillity that goes along with all of these wondrous activities for your souls and hearts to take in. To try, after all the hard things in all our days that have been and are trying their best to tear at the our very core of what makes us be the best parts of our why our country USA

Cascades Raptor Center

Mentioned on

Zoo
Nature & Parks
Nature & Wildlife Areas
Nestled in the scenic Hult City Park, just a short drive from Eugene, Oregon, the Cascades Raptor Center is a nature haven and wildlife hospital. Since its establishment in 1987, this center has been dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating raptors. With nearly 50 birds of prey housed in expansive outdoor aviaries, it offers an up-close encounter with these majestic creatures.
Beautiful place to go! The birds are absolutely gorgeous. Little bit of a walk, though. Lots of information on each animal. Cute gift shop at the end. The staff was very friendly and helpful to answer any questions.
Cece H — Google review
The Raptor Center was an unexpected stop on a road trip, and ended up being a highlight of the trip. The center is very well maintained, and it's obvious that the staff genuinely care for the birds. All of the employees seemed to be having a good time, and they were very friendly and helpful. The facility was in good working order, and the enclosures offer visitors a good look at the birds, but also some privacy for the animals. There was a surprising variety of exhibits. The paths (and entire center) are on a steep hill, so those with mobility or balance issues might want to take a close look before committing to a trip. The prices were a little high, but it was worth it at least once. (Only true raptor aficionados are likely to return again.) Definitely recommend for visitors in the area!
David — Google review
This was a wonderful stop for anyone and everyone. The center itself is small and quaint. The birds are well taken care off and cute. You can tell that the staff really cares about them from how content the birds are and how clean everything is. The snowy owl was adorable and I loved the little notes they have about the name and story of each bird. It makes you feel connected to the animal. We went there at noon on Labor Day weekend and it was not busy at all. It is a nice stop to make and spend an hour or two learning about the birds especially since you can see them really up close. There are bathrooms and parking spots.
Mazal S — Google review
I have more photos, this is a great place to go for a hike to see some really beautiful birds. But I don't think it's a good place for kids under 8, or elderly and disabled people. It's built into the hillside in a way that is not wheelchair accessible. I'm not sure if there's a way to fix that. The outdoor classroom is probably the only place I would be able to get to safely from the parking lot in my hospital style wheelchair.
Emerald H — Google review
Highly recommended to adults and kids. Staff is on hand to help answer any questions. The area is large with a lot of different types of birds. There are signs that tell you about individual birds, how they came to be in the the raptor center, and about the species. All birds are available for sponsorship. There is a small store where you can purchase items to support the work that the raptor center does. There is a hospital on scene which the public is not allowed to go into. While we were there, staff was giving a tutorial about different feathers for birds. And there was even a doctor walking around checking on the individual birds. Very small parking lot only accommodates 12 vehicles. There are bathrooms on hand which are outhouses. Entry fee is well worth the cost of admission at $13. It is quite hilly so make sure you are comfortable shoes and it is all dirt. No concrete.

Oregon Country Fair

Festival
Events
Cultural Events
The Oregon Country Fair is a one-of-a-kind, transformative experience that captures the heart of creativity, community, and culture. Nestled in a lush forest setting in Veneta, Oregon, this annual three-day event feels like stepping into another world-one brimming with art, music, delicious food, and vibrant energy. Atmosphere and Setting The fairgrounds are a masterpiece of design. Winding pathways shaded by trees lead you to handcrafted booths, whimsical art installations, and cozy nooks filled with unexpected surprises. The setting feels organic and alive, almost as if the fair has grown out of the forest itself. Every inch of the space has been thoughtfully curated, from the fairy lights dangling above to the colorful banners fluttering in the breeze. It's not just a fair-it's a living, breathing work of art. Incredible Entertainment Entertainment is woven into every moment at the Oregon Country Fair. Stages tucked into clearings host a diverse range of performances, from folk bands and world-class musicians to acrobats, puppeteers, and spoken word artists. You don't need a schedule to enjoy the magic-there's always something happening. Street performers, stilt walkers, and jugglers appear as if by magic, infusing every corner with surprise and delight. One of the highlights is the fair's focus on inclusion and expression. Whether you're watching a mesmerizing belly dancer, listening to soulful bluegrass, or laughing at an improv comedy troupe, there's a sense that all forms of art are welcome and celebrated. A Culinary Wonderland The food at the Oregon Country Fair is reason enough to attend. With dozens of booths serving fresh, local, and often organic cuisine, every meal feels special. Whether it's the famous spicy tempeh wraps, fresh fruit smoothies, or handcrafted pies, the offerings are unique and delicious. Food vendors take pride in their creations, and the diversity of options-from vegan to international dishes-ensures there's something for everyone. Artisan Craftsmanship The fair is a paradise for anyone who appreciates handcrafted goods. Booths showcase everything from hand-blown glass and intricate jewelry to natural body products and hand-dyed fabrics. Artisans are often present at their booths, happy to share the stories behind their work. Buying from these talented makers feels meaningful, as you're supporting local creativity and craftsmanship. A Sense of Community What sets the Oregon Country Fair apart is the deep sense of community and shared values. It's a place where creativity and individuality are celebrated, and kindness is the unspoken currency. Everyone-from the families with kids to costumed fairgoers and lifelong attendees-feels part of something bigger. People smile at strangers, engage in meaningful conversations, and respect the fair's commitment to sustainability and inclusiveness. Sustainability and Awareness The fair also shines in its environmental consciousness. Recycling and composting stations are everywhere, and there's a strong emphasis on leaving the grounds as beautiful as they were found. Many booths and performances promote social and environmental awareness, adding a thoughtful layer to the fair's whimsical nature. Final Thoughts The Oregon Country Fair is more than just an event; it's an experience that stays with you long after you leave. It's a place where art meets nature, where music meets magic, and where people meet as equals to celebrate life. Whether you're dancing in a meadow, savoring local cuisine, or admiring handmade art, the fair reminds you of the beauty of connection, creativity, and community. For anyone seeking a joyful escape and a celebration of humanity's creative spirit, the Oregon Country Fair is truly unmissable. It's not just a fair-it's an invitation to step into a more colorful, playful, and compassionate world.

Oregon Country Fair 2025 was an absolutely incredible experience—one for the books! Over three fantastic days, the fair felt like a delightful blend of folk culture, hippie spirit, renaissance charm, and artistic whimsy. With an array of phenomenal performers showcasing everything from music to theater, the atmosphere was electric. The food was mouthwatering, and the crafts and artwork were simply breathtaking. Attending was like stepping back in time and into a magical realm. It's an event you simply can't miss—definitely a must-see destination for everyone!
Justin B — Google review
I live in NC, but I try to make it back to the Country Fair most years, having spent the '90s living in Eugene and getting involved with it then. The more I get to know all the inner-workings of how this festival is run, and the more I get to know the beautiful land that they take care to protect, the more I love it! You can go just for a day and try to see as many of the 260+ art booths and 17 stages of music and theatre performances as possible, or you can get involved on one of countless volunteer crews or art/food booths, and spend more time there. The history the philanthropic generosity, the contagious joy among so many sweet folks...I can't speak highly enough about it. Yes, it's dusty and usually hot and crowded...And it's SO worth it! A few tips: bring your own water bottle; plenty of refill stations throughout. Tickets are required, and aren't sold on site. Expect to walk a lot, and maybe even get "lost"; that's part of the magic (plus you won't actually get lost, it's fenced in and safe.:)) Best to bring cash, though there is a (busy) ATM outside the front gate if needed. WiFi is, well, slow at best. No drugs, including alcohol, allowed. No glass. If you have medical or lost-child or other needs, don't panic: there's a great network of support.

I hate to say this but: two years ago two couples left from the same Airbnb in different cars. The one using Apple Maps got there 30 minutes before the one using Google maps. I do not know why. So be aware. Traffic to get in can be bad depending on the time. Friday around 1pm arrival was good and so was Saturday arriving around 1130. The walk from our parking spot to the fair is as long as the walk inside the fair. (And in the blazing sun). So hydrate and take care of carrying shade.

First timer. We're called "fair virgins." This is the mother of all country fairs, it's the template, the OG. A three day fair, a single day is $60 for admission. I don't know the three day rate. But there are those who come and camp. Special privileges: after the fair closes a whole other world opens up; different dimensions than what is available during daylight… Only for the initiated, of which I was not one. Parking is $15 if you're driving but public transportation is free. Food was fair and reasonable for the quality, quantity, and amazing service. Truly amazing to see how happy everybody was from the volunteers directing traffic, to the horses helping them, to the people checking bags, stamping hands on the way out, vendors proud of their wares, and neighbors. People were chilling under the grand piano, in beautiful tented areas with organza curtains, up in tree houses, this was not a place of stress. Talent is pouring out of peoples pores here. Everything from the Way folks are dressed so creatively, so ingenious, to the high-level of skill involved in the making of ceramics, pottery, jewelry, leather gear, potions and concoctions. The Kesey Stage was where we experienced two amazing artists in less than 10 minutes. There were water misters everywhere to keep people cool and the facilities team were seen skillfully removing potentially dangerous hornets' nests, as well as just wondering around watering the grounds to keep the dust at bay. I was warned by everyone to wear comfortable shoes, and there might be a case for masks if you have lung and breathing issues because on dry days the dust does get kicked up by the 15+ thousand people wandering around happily. They were spontaneous dances that broke out in front of buskers. And amazing parades with skillful drumline marching as well as flutes and clarinets and brass winds. It was very humanizing the way there were sufficient porta potties strategically placed and all garbage/recycling/yard waste areas were well-monitored at all times. There was also a sauna and shower area for those who are staying overnight. There were also several first aid and medic stations that we passed. The trees were extraordinary, giant and strong like the elders of the forest. The entire event seemed to run along the Long Tom River. An amazing experience of community at play, where creativity is oozing out of pores, from booths, and trees, and stages. I hope you get here. Because it's wonderful to be greeted, "Happy Fair!" And "Welcome Home."

Hayward Field is a historic track and field stadium located on the University of Oregon campus. It is home to the Oregon Ducks and hosts the annual Prefontaine Classic, making it a legendary venue in the world of track and field. The stadium has undergone recent renovations, offering state-of-the-art facilities for thousands of sports fans to enjoy unobstructed views, impressive acoustics, and spacious seating.
Very beautiful facility. It was a pleasure to have gone to a track and field meet there. There were concessions for the Nike Outdoor National event.

The free museum was a sensational find! Worth the jockeying of our activities to work into their limited hours. Even the non runners in the family were fascinated by the innovations of the 3 Bills who were legendary coaches, and back stories of athletes we watched at past Olympics. Visitors are not allowed on the track, but a photo booth provided us with laughs and a virtual visual keepsake (although the text to phone option did not work. Only those of us who had the image emailed received it)

One of our favorite places to be. Very affordable tickets for the caliber of experience. Comfortable cushioned seats & not a bad one in the house. Plenty of concessions (with the stadium pricing to match $$$, but that is to be expected). Massive screens, upbeat music & pretty solid announcers. We’ve attended everything from Oregon high school state meets to Worlds back in 2022. The only thing missing is parking. Please give us a parking garage. Please.

Market
Eugene Saturday Market's Holiday Market is a long-standing craft market that has been around since 1970. It takes place in a park and features over 200 local artisans, food vendors, live music, and an international food court. The market is not just a commercial enterprise but also serves as a social gathering where visitors can spend the day browsing unique wares, enjoying live music, and sampling international cuisine.
Just moved to the area from Phoenix and wanted to see something local and I definitely was not disappointed! First off finding parking did take a minute and it was $1.35 for an hour. However an hour was perfect timing to eat and see all the booths. All the food trucks are in one central area that made it convenient and there was a huge variety of food. I ended up getting a chocolate strawberry crepe and black cold brew and it was 5/5. The layout is a nice walk. If you were at an intersection there are booths on all 4 corners of the street. There's a huge blend of art, local crafts, fruits and veggies, flowers, honey, meat, ect. I will definitely be back.

An essential Eugene experience. If you come to Eugene and don't go are you even really visiting? Give your money to local growers and artisans instead of big box stores AND have the pleasure of seeing and smelling everything that the culture here has to offer.

One of the biggest and best markets I’ve been to. Wish I lived locally so I could go there for produce every week! Best looking produce I’ve seen! Lots of goods and goodies from a large variety of vendors. I had the best vegetarian empanada. So yummy! 😋 Love this place!!

We visited for the first time on a night they had live music and it was so fun! The woman who helped us was very friendly. She took the time to tell us about the wine and let us try different ones before ordering a bottle. Friendly service and great wine!

Very cute winery just outside of the city with an atmosphere that makes you feel further from town than you are. The vineyard is surrounded by trees and greenery, and offers several seating options. They allow you to bring your own snacks to pair with their wines, and sometimes have a food truck on site. I appreciated that the wines weren’t overly sweet and were full of flavor. My mom and I had a great time here.

Excellent wine! Live music today (07/03) with great service at the counter regardless of the event. Beautiful setting - normally quiet and relaxing, but, today was a nice change of pace. Chose outside table versus my normal inside upper level relaxing setting.

Tasty wines, good charcuterie plate, and excellent service. If you’re looking for a good place for a tasting, weekdays are probably better as they hold events on the weekends.

Amazing wine! The people, the outdoor patio, the view, the food, the establishment what more can I say. To bad I can't give more than 5 stars. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Exceptional service & the wine maker really knows his craft. It was an oasis vibe in every way. The house wine blend we tried was amazing! My phone died & Jeff was so kind to provide a charger in assistants so I could get some pictures of the beautiful Vineyards! Im from California so I am excited to visit again when I return! Appreciate you there at Lavelle Vineyards! Thank you for a great visit!

Jeff helped me secure a few bottle of the White Pinot Noir which I LOVE. He went above and beyond for me. Thanks for showing great customer service, Jeff!

This was a great spot to spend time drinking wine. The tasting room staff member was super knowledgeable about the wine we were drinking and the region in general. Very generous tasting flight which was actually more than I needed as we were making other stops. This is not a pretentious winery by any means. They make approachable, good quality wine. Worth a stop.

Hult Center for the Performing Arts

Mentioned on 
8 lists 
Performing arts theater
Concerts & Shows
The Hult Center for the Performing Arts is a contemporary establishment built in 1982 that boasts two auditoriums, a gathering place and public works of art. Visitors appreciate the venue's delightful ambiance, excellent sound quality and welcoming staff. Despite this, some individuals express dissatisfaction with high costs associated with attending events at the center. Nonetheless, many feel fortunate to have such a remarkable performing arts destination in their small community that rivals even Broadway theaters.
Wonderful facility. Very professional staff. The beverage servers were quick and efficient. My only suggestion is to increase the cool air flow in the lobby areas, especially the balcony areas.

This was a great venue! It was way nicer than I could have guessed. It looks very fancy inside. The staff were super helpful and nice. I appreciated the ushers that helped us find our seats... We would have been lost without them.

It's a beautiful venue. The ticket counter was helpful and the bar staff were quick and efficient. I wish they had coca cola products instead of Pepsi, but that's a personal preference. I met my friend Kathleen Madigan there and we both remarked how cool the view is from the stage.
Steven H — Google review
Been to 2 concerts - both were amazing. The atmosphere is epic with the whole layout of the auditorium being designed to wow. Book your ticket for your favorite show or special event and you won't regret it. I also picked up some free postcards as a souvenir besides keeping the printed programs.

Great venue to see a show. I appreciate the fact that they had friendly ushers to help you find your seat.

The theater volunteers are friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable and it is a clean, charming and classy center. The windy rows are kind of fun compared to traditionally lined rows.

Saw Morrissey last night wow best show ever. Hult Center is awesome. Found a Hilton and walked to Hult . What an excellent experience. Thank you

I had an AMAZING experience at the Hult Center. Paying $10 to park was not an issue; the employees were super friendly and helpful. I was put at ease with any questions or concerns that I had. The concessions were moderately priced; it seems that some folks aren't familiar with the concept of free enterprise or capitalism. The seats were comfortable in the Rear Orchestra and had plenty of leg room. The view of the stage was unobstructed. Again, every single employee and Usher were outstanding. That said, the Australian Pink Floyd show was AWESOME. I am so glad that I went. I'll definitely be back to the Hult Center soon!

Owen Rose Garden

Mentioned on

Community garden
Nature & Parks
Owen Rose Garden is a stunning 8.5-acre park located near the Willamette River and the Washington Jefferson Street Bridge in Eugene. It boasts over 4,500 rose bushes representing more than 400 varieties, making it a true gem of the city. The garden also features the impressive 49-foot-tall Oregon Heritage Cherry Tree, believed to be one of the oldest of its kind in the country.
I LOVE this rose garden I try to go as much as possible. It smells like if you are standing and walking inside of a perfume bottle with many different rose blends and other flower notes to give the roses more depth also the smell of the flowers is perfect and not overwhelming. This is 100% worth seeing and checking out if you are making a trip to Eugene Oregon. Owen's rose garden is perfect for photos and getting your photo taken for grad students and weddings or any other event you need photos. I saw grad students taking photos, photographers of many kinds taking photos of the flowers, people walking there dogs, and many other lovely groups of people enjoying the roses with everyone. Very uplifting and positive to bring your mood up. I really want to keep coming back to this place as much as possible.

Nice quiet stroll through the well kept garden. Lots of different flowers, not just roses. Family atmosphere, little paths leading to more flowers, memorial benches for resting in the shade. Cute park, really enjoyed it.

This may have been my favorite stop when I visited my brother's family in Eugene, Oregon. It was just beautiful and such a lovely, easily accessible spot to wander around outside for an hour or two. I highly recommend visiting if you haven't yet - and if you have - go again!

This is one of the most beautiful rose gardens I've ever been to, and I mean, ever the layout was perfect and so many quality roses to see and read the descriptions and see the trees and the pagodas and it was all very well laid out. The bathroom was disgusting.There was poop on the rim of the toilet and it was very unappealing.There were many bike riders out when I went and so i'm glad it has a good accessibility

When the roses are in full bloom, it's really something else. The varieties are listed in front of the beds they're planted in. Pictures are allowed but it's asked that you stay out of the dirt. Nice flat walking paths with benches. Close proximity to the Willamette River path. There were porta potties on site when we visited for the Symphony in the Park. Plenty of parking.

Amazing flower garden and completely free. Bring the whole family. This is not to be missed. They're even open late till 11:00 p.m. But come during daylight for some phenomenal photos.

It’s absolutely beautiful right now (June) because everything is blooming and smells so good!! This is a real gem of a park for Eugene. We saw people taking graduation photos, and there is a gazebo for weddings and events.

Beautiful park, with 12 miles of trails and ponds along the river. Along the trail are all the planets on display, with insightful information. Just watch out for the bicycle riders.
