This is a world class venue! Stunning views of the Columbia River Gorge Valley, stunning sunset views, then you ad in live music (Red Rocks Amphitheatre Co.) and the Gorge is equal to in every way. The owners have gone out of their way to give you an incredible live music experience!!! I definitely in courage you to find a band that you love that's playing @ the Gorge Amphitheatre and go see them there! There is All types of overnight camping ⛺ from tent, Truck, RV to Glamping! Every price range from a few dollars a night to hundreds it's up to you. The Gorge Amphitheatre is in the middle of nowhere it's a long drive so it's best to just spend the night, enjoy the concert and get a fresh start in the morning! There are plenty of clean restrooms and even showers on site.

This was a bucket list venue for me. We attended the Whiskey Myers and Tedeschi Trucks band show on 8/9/25. I bought tickets online a week or so before the show. Having never been here before I bought a Star Plus parking pass and the side lounge upgrade. We had a stellar time. The bands were great. The sunset and the view is the gorge was incredible. I thought the sound was better from the 200 section where we had seats than in the lounge. The star plus parking worked out for us. We did sit in a little bit of a line getting in - we came around 4:00pm because I wasn’t sure what to expect with traffic. We had zero traffic until we got to the gate. There was some kind of issue with the ticket scanner for the parking area and that is what the hold up was. It probably took them 15 minutes to figure that out. Once we parked we got past that it was fine. We had zero issues getting out but I will say we didn’t stay until the end, we left maybe after 45 minutes of the second band because we had a two hour drive and I didn’t want to take the chance of getting stuck in traffic trying to exit. I don’t regret getting the lounge upgrade. There weren’t to many people in there which was nice. I would say, if you are getting lawn seats, maybe do the upgrade so you can get a closer view of the gorge but if you don’t care about that then just stay out in lawn. There was no line for bathrooms over here either. The 200 section wasn’t as far back as I thought it might be so we had a nice view of the stage and the sound was good there. I was worried about having cell signal here but that was not an issue. I had pictured this being in the middle of nowhere and it somewhat is but it really wasn’t that far out there. You will pass hundreds of apple trees getting here. It was nice drive. For outdoor venues, Red Rocks is still my number one but we thoroughly enjoyed this experience. If it’s on your list, make a plan to visit.

The Gorge has come a long way over the years. Before water was scarce and no outside containers allowed, but now you can bring in empty camel backs depending on the event and they've worked on security issues. Best venue for a view Ive ever been to, 100% recommend going!

Truly one of my most amazing experiences ever! It is certainly something to see, at least once, in your lifetime. Combine the beauty of nature outside with a band you love to see and hear, and what more could you want. Temps were warm while the sun was up but soon became reasonably cool and windy as the sun went below the horizon. Sitting at the top of the hill in a rented lawn chair was my favorite spot to be in for the entire show! Hope to go back real soon! A+++

The crowd was great and the musicians were outstanding. Venue was nice but i didn’t see where it would be easy to get around for adults with disabilities. Also, if you are camping the noise from the RV generators is off the hook. I recommend staying away from that area unless you are also in an RV or trailer. I mean at 1am it was deafening so bring your noise cancellation headphones if you need to sleep. Security was a bit invasive walking into camping sites. I didn’t enjoy 20 year-olds walking up to me telling me to make sure I leave by noon the next day. The food was good but be prepared to pay $16 for a scoop of ice cream and $8 for a regular bag of ice. Not sure i would do it again, but there is always room for improvement.

The Gorge is stunningly beautiful and has stunningly beautiful acoustics. It's our 3rd time here. This weekend for Dave Matthews. Every instrument is crystal clear with no reverb plenty of volume and nothing that hurts your ears. What God created at the Gorge is way better than any "perfect" venue made by man

I love this venue! I don’t think I’ve ever been to a concert at a more magical or beautiful spot than this one! If you’ve have been thinking about going to a show here it is a must! Buy the ticket, book the camping and go!!

Breathtaking Views and Top-Notch Staff, A Must-Stop Spot We visited Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park while traveling with my wife and some family, and it ended up being one of the unexpected highlights of our trip. The views are absolutely stunning with wide open landscapes and unique geological formations that are unlike anything we’d seen before. We explored on our own and loved the freedom to take it all in at our own pace. The staff struck the perfect balance of really helpful and friendly without ever being overbearing. The interpretive center was well worth the visit too. The video and the displays of petrified wood were fascinating, and we all came away learning something new. If you’re passing through the area, I highly recommend stopping by. It’s a peaceful, scenic, and educational experience that’s great for all ages.

Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park – Vantage, WA A fantastic stop right off I-90 at the Columbia River! The Ginkgo Petrified Forest has an impressive collection of petrified trees and fascinating geological displays that tell the story of the region’s ancient landscape. The short scenic trails wind through a striking, desert-like setting with sweeping views of the Columbia River — perfect for a quick walk or photo stop. It can get a bit windy, but that just adds to the atmosphere. It was quiet when we visited on a weekday, yet still drew a few curious travelers. Definitely a must-see if you’re passing through central Washington!

Went on a Sunday afternoon around 3, was 70° out. This is a well maintained and beautiful park. I didn't know they have petroglyphs also so that was a nice surprise. The wood is beautiful and amazing to look at. The view is gorgeous.

very very cool place! i frequently drive i90 between seattle and spokane and have always wanted to stop, so im glad i finally got the opportunity! unfortunately our timing was off and we got there just after 5 when the visitors center closed, but what we saw was enough to convince us to swing by again to get the full experience! way better than a roadside attraction, i would definitely recommend stopping and taking in the sights and petroglyphs.

The views are amazing, the visitor center staff very welcoming and knowledgeable and the petrified wood is beautiful. Easy hiking on paved trails. So glad we stopped and would definitely return given the opportunity

A nice park to stop and see the petrified forest info. There is a hike around the area too and on this day we see some wildlife. Clean bathrooms inside the visitor area and plenty of parking. I have seen people also camping in this area.

Nice place to stop. Small museum caters to area geology

Lots of in depth interpretation in the displays and the docents are very knowledgeable. Tour happen daily. Spring time is exceptional with a large diversity of flowers and insects. It is quite windy so be prepared for that if you’ll be walking around outside of the visitor center

Super good place to stop by and see wind turbines from close. This place has great scenic views as well. They have guided (and free) tours at 10 am and 2 pm. Staff is very nice and friendly.

It's worth the long winding drive to watch the wind turbines up close. And so much more you can learn in the center. Watch out for rattlesnakes in the area, they are so good at camouflage.

This place was awesome, we happened to be in the area and decided to take the long was home from a concert at the gorge. This was for sure worth the drive, it does seem kind of like a road to no where but very pretty and scenic. We are middle aged and really enjoyed the information and history in the center they have! You get to get up close to the wind turbines and it really puts them into perspective of how big they really are. If your lucky you might even get to watch them climb them. Truly a phenomenal experience and I highly reccomend visiting at least once. The weather was awesome, there were plenty of parking spots, and it was not crowded. We went in the middle of june! It was perfect.

Thank you to Puget Sound Energy for establishing the Wild Horse Renewable Energy Center and making it possible for the public to experience a wind power facility up close. I once tried to visit the Ivanpah Solar Electric facility in California but was met with a rather unfriendly reception. In contrast, Puget Sound Energy not only contributes meaningfully to the production of renewable energy but also shows us that such efforts are truly worthwhile. The visitor center offers a unique and valuable opportunity to educate the next generation about clean energy. While I understand that maintaining a visitor center in such a location must come at a significant cost, I sincerely hope Puget Sound Energy continues this important work. Opportunities to engage directly with wind power technology are rare, and I encourage more people to visit and experience it firsthand.

A very good place to see what is a wind farm like and they even have a blade lying on the ground that you can see at very a close distance. A good place to spend a weekend with a little bit of learning and a little bit of hiking. Despite of the strong wind, it may be hot in a sunny summer afternoon. Please add or remove some clothes before the guided tour begins.

This is my first time to see windmills in so short distance. They are very impressive. And there are some activities for kids to do in the information center.

Great pit-stop location to take a break and stretch your legs. A wide variety of goods purveyed here, from fresh fruit, candies, snacks, coffee, ice cream, craft sodas, wines, spirits, beers and more. Upstairs is an antique shop.

I stop here every time I come this way. We always get saltwater taffy and usually grab something else for the drive, too. It was super busy, so I parked in a back lot. I've never had to do that before. In spite of the number of people, I was still able to find someone almost instantly when I needed help finding an item. They didn't look at me like I was a Sasquatch at all. They quickly guided me right to the item I wanted. I also spent some time looking through all the antiques. I was looking for items that are pretty unique, so I struck out there, but that's okay. There are a lot of really cool things upstairs.

I LOVE this place!! I try to stop by everytime I pass by on the highway and it's never disappointing. I mostly like going upstairs to look at the antiques but the first floor is very impressive too and offers a lot of fresh fruits, vegetables, other foods, and candies. The salt water taffy is amazingly soft and there are plenty of flavors to choose from. I haven't tried anything from the cafe/ ice cream but I would really like to and I wouldn't doubt it's quality. The upstairs is my favorite and especially the second floor. I love the selection of records, CDs, and the cute beanie babies. I will say some of the items I think are personally overpriced and I could get somewhere for cheaper but overall I wouldn't say anything was super expensive. I found some unique dinosaur figures too and it made me happy!

Insanely great place to stop off I 90 All the in season fruits and veggies Antique store with huge inventory on second and third story Next to Shrees gas station with the big flag

Love to stop here and get off the freeway. Family gets out the car to stretch legs. Look at all the stuff for sale on the 2nd and 3rd floor. A lot of the stuff always reminds me of my grandma's house and the smell. Fruit seems expensive here. Enjoy some ice-cream before getting back on the freeway. Can always expect to be here for at least an hr. Fruit/ice-cream/restroom .

If you find yourself near Ellensburg with a couple of hours to spare, spend them somewhere else! Once a cherished stop for antique enthusiasts, the Thorp Fruit and Antique Mall, just west of Ellensburg, has plummeted into a disheartening mess of modern kitsch and low-quality trinkets. What used to be a haven for unique, vintage finds has morphed into a cluttered bazaar of mass-produced junk. Half the booths are now stuffed with overpriced Pop! figurines, stacks of cheap stuffed animals fresh off last week's assembly line, and literally thousands of Hot Wheels cars — many available at Walmart or Target for a fraction of the price. There are endless boxes of mostly worthless modern comic books, T-shirts printed so recently the ink is practically still wet, display cases full of crappy, mass-produced pocket knives, a sea of western apparel, and shoddy steampunk-themed items fashioned earlier this week, presumably in China. The store’s standards have utterly collapsed, with booth after booth peddling new, low-value garbage that wouldn’t pass muster at a flea market. For a true antique experience, head to the Yakima Fruit and Antique Store instead. Though smaller, it maintains integrity, offering genuine vintage items without the onslaught of Hot Wheels, comic books, Pop! figurines, or other nonsense. Thorp’s fall from grace is a sad reminder of what happens when quality is abandoned for quantity. Save your time and skip this one.

Beautiful place! We drove several times by this place, but today decided to make a stop. And we were not disappointed! I love antique and this place is awesome! Need to visit! Highly recommended!

A fav of ours anytime we are in Ellensburg. Great beer, excellent prices, laid back atmosphere, staff and clientele... Right on 👍

Come here now! Get the Irish Death! Enjoy the ambiance and the company, and there will probably be live music. I love this place for making an absolutely delicious DARK beer! The recent remodel has made it feel even more welcoming and comfy!

A must to visit if you're in town and love beer and cider! Definitely a fan of the Tiramisu Death and Crisp cider. There's popcorn on-site and the food truck Swiftfried Pizza serves great eats as well. Riley was fantastic taking care of us and made the day special. Definitely recommend!

Iron Horse is a pioneer to the Ellensburg chanel of local breweries. As most residents know the movement of the older tasting rooms, Iron Horse's current newer location is in their local production facility. This is a smaller sized public brewery with a nice larger outdoor seating area. Feel welcomed by there family friendly board game filled library. Kids and pups welcome! The staff are extremely friendly and thier beer speaks for themselves. As a reminder, they do not serve food other then their fresh popped popcorn however they host multiple different food trucks including some with amazing pizzas and another with comforting tacos; they are very welcoming to outside meals, so BYOF.

The food.and drink here were excellent! The staff was very friendly and brought out our meals and drinks very quickly. The oven was out, so we were not able to order pizza like we intended, but the Mac and cheese and quinoa wrap that we got were very good for not a bad price. We were also able to fill up a growler for cheap. Highly recommend going here for either hanging out for a drink or for good eats

Taproom has been on our list to visit for a while, so glad we finally made it in! Service was fantastic, tried several beers 🍺🍺 and a few of their newly acquired bad granny ciders . The space is cozy and they serve popcorn. They have these cute little coffee tables made out of half kegs! To go beer is available so grabbed a 6 pack for home 👍

Always good spot to people watch. Great pizza wagon, need to get there early in order to get an order in. Probably best place in Ellensburg for pizza. Always great micro brews, my horse injoys High 5 Hef.

Great museum with local history and vibrant exhibits. We learned a lot about the area and enjoyed the air conditioning.

Very nice museum to know the history of Yakima. It's very informative for adults and educational for kids. There is a kids discovery place underground. Easy to kill time with kiddos.

Love this museum, especially the neon signs I remember from my childhood

Quite a large museum really. All things Yakima valley. Turns out that there are a lot of interesting things.

VERY nice museum. Lots of old horse-drawn vehicles that you can get right up to. Great info on the history of the Yakima Valley, An awesome room full of taxidermy! Beautifully and colorfully laid out. Lots and lots to see!

This museum was our first stop in travel to Columbia river gorge. Wi did not expect so much emotions we had there! Very interesting exposition with carriages. We saw the prototype of modern RV :)

This is a great museum. We were looking for information about the farming (orchards) in the area and found this great introduction to the area. It includes farming, early wagon travel, the Yakama people, Justice William O. Douglas, mountain climbing, old neon signs, and more.

We went there on our trip to Yakima for our wedding anniversary. They were so nice and helpful and they kept bringing more different kinds of peaches for my wife to sample. We finally settled on a box of Elberta and a box of Donut peaches. We brought them back across the mountains and are them for weeks after!! They were SO DELICIOUS and JUICY!! You can't go wrong at this place!!

This orchard came highly recommended, yet I was surprised they didn’t proactively offer samples of all varieties, as one might expect at a public or farmers market. Perhaps there’s a reason for that: their apples were flavorful but not particularly crisp, and the peaches were oddly woody, a disappointment. Pricing is also comparable to what you’d find in the city, oddly enough. Still, I appreciated that the staff kept the store open right up to closing, so the drive wasn’t in vain.

Fresh fruit, in season. It's a green oasis on the west side of Yakima. It's easy to miss, as it sets back from the highway. If you like fruit, you'll have to come back with each season. We missed the strawberries, but were on time for cherries and apricots.

If you are in the vicinity go visit. Not worth driving threw Yakima to go visit which is what we did. Lots of fruit, almost no vegtebles, some cheese and pastries. Might be the least stocked farm store I have ever been to, no sauces, no veggies, no hand crafted goods. Just go to the farmers market on Sunday.

Friendly and helpful staff. Great pies, cookies, and other desserts. They also had a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables for purchase as well. Would recommend stopping by if in Yakima.

Every summer we drive to Yakima to get peaches, cherries, and apples. The Johnson Fruit Orchard is our favorite place to get the fruit. The staff here are friendly, welcoming and efficient. The atmosphere is down to earth. The hand pies, cookies and other baked goods yummy!

Fresh fruits, esp apples. Hubby likes apples so it was a good place to stop. We got their pie as well. It was delicious!

What an amazing weekend. If anyone had one winery they could visit, I would highly recommend coming to Bonair. It's definitely a hidden gem. This past weekend, I took my sisters from out of town to do some tastings. We visited and was completely impressed with the entirety of what we experienced. The winery, tasting room, entry, front area, library, was all amazing and beautiful. You can tell, this place is loved by us owners. The owners, Shirley and her husband, are GREAT people. Shirley was attentive, fun, and caring. Oh, the stories to be heard, simply fun. The wines are all good medals, definitely winners that you should try. The prices are fair, and the pours are GENEROUS. One of the best things about a private winery is not just the care for the business, BUT also for the community. Bonair supports its local libraries and sells/ donations for books in the side room. We bought quite a bit because the books look interesting to read, and they support the local community. We bought a couple of bottles, and it's been a week, and we need to replenish our stash, hehehe. If you get a chance, please stop by. You won't be sorry. Thanks, Shirley and Bonair, for making our visit memorable. We'll see you soon.

Beautiful winery, friendly owners/wine maker. Okay wines on average, found 2 we liked enough. Go for the beautiful location and try some wine. Some of the oldest wines in Yakima valley.

This was our first stop for wine tasting in Zillah. Beautiful location, we were greeted by the sweetest little dog! We had a great conversation with Kevin, and gave us a great tasting experience. Great wines, and very reasonably priced. We'd totally be back!

The staff were super friendly. We bought our own lunch and enjoyed it with their Rose. They provided us with some silverware and were very accommodating. They even gave some duck feed for the kids in our group. The duck pond is really fun and the vineyards and surroundings are gorgeous and make for beautiful backdrop for pictures.

Very nice facility, good selection, knowledgeable staff. My only “complaint” is the process was too much of a production than truly trying to educate anyone on the wines. More, here’s the list, pick one and drink, then pick another.

This is my favorite winery in the yakima area. They have a few good choices for food like a charcuterie board, a panani and prochiuto wrapped asparagus (seasonal?). We ordered 1 of each and loved them all, plus brought a picnic. Their wine prices are also reasonable. Outside you get a super casual atmosphere(not the typical cookie-cutter-overmanicured-destination winery) A pond with ducks and a great view! They have seating inside as well. Next time, we are skipping the over thought, over-priced and overdone wineries and heading straight to Bonaire! The staff are also down to earth. Ireally love this place.

The hosts/service were/was excellent. The wine was amazing. Our favorites were the Malbecs and Petit Verdot(to each their own). They have a full kitchen and were open for Phase one quarantine. The ducks were very friendly.

The place is very beautiful. The rooms are nice, but the service can use some more time management . My checkin time was at 3pm . That was not the problem it was that I got their at 7 pm, and my room was not even ready. I was very disappointed. And they could have had better towels. Other than that. The place was a nice place to stay for 3 days. Very peaceful. I enjoyed my time their.

Great price. Location was a 4 as was easy to find and other fast food restaurants nearby, if you wanted to go out. But had good restaurants inside. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our stay. The only cons are that there is not very much if anything to do outside of the casino, and I felt (my opinion) that the buffet is overpriced.

You must show your ID upon entering! This casino is strict and payouts are non existent. Do not plan on winning here. The brunch buffet was expensive, greasy and not very hot. I can't think of anything good about my experience. The music they play is boring elevator music. Their elevator shut too fast, I and my husband both got bruises trying to stop the door! The concert we went to was short and the audience was passive, not much enthusiasm in that crowd. The band was great they deserved more... I personally would not recommend.

I have never seen a casino pay so low. all of their machines are turned way down and no one is hitting anywhere in the entire casino. They are definitely below what the gaming commission would consider legal. They would also get a lot more people gambling if they weren't so tight with their payouts

It took a few days before I could gather my thoughts to write this review after the horrific treatment my family and relatives experienced. The staff was less than hospitable, and that’s the nicest way I can possibly put it. You don’t fly thousands of miles for a family gathering just to have people mistreat you at your first meal. My aunt was denied entry because she didn’t have her ID. You would think that there should be a completely separate entrance and space for non-gamblers. I mean, if you’re exclusively a casino, I get it, but you’re not. You offer other services that have nothing to do with gambling. It was just downright humiliating. I don’t want to have to say that it’s a race issue, but it is. And no, that’s not just based on my aunt being my denied entry. I understand that there isn’t a large Asian demographic in the area, this is 2025, racism doesn’t fly anymore. Can we normalise learning how to talk to people of every race with respect? If that’s not your thing, hospitality is not the field you should be working in. Being rude and dismissive is not acceptable.

The rooms are beautiful. Spa is pretty good, but kinda pricey in comparison to other stand alone spas in the area. Food options are pretty good. The coffee shop has great drink options and amazing ice cream!

We went there tonight for my husbands birthday. My husband and myself ordered the ribeye steak which was $40 each. My brother in law ordered the prime rib. We have never had worse food ever! The quality of the meat was bad, but so was the chef. Our potato’s were cold the so were the vegetables. We will never eat there again😡🤓

Amazing folks here! We went for wine tasting and experiences part of the making process and joined the club it was so fabulous! Delicious wine, great people and beautiful views! Highly recommend!

It's our second year to visit Daven Lore Winery and we love it. We took home four bottles of their sangria, Blueberry cranberry mint is our favorite. The owner Gordon is really friendly and highly knowledgeable about his craft. I don't know much about making wine or sangria, but he was more than willing to explain to us anything we didn't understand. A great business and a great guy!!

Such a wonderful place! Fantastic wines, wonderful staff and beautiful views. This is a must do I Prosser!

If you're looking for a winery with an extensive collection of wines, look no further. Gordon is an incredible wine maker that makes you feel like family and only bottles the best. The personal touch by the staff and the reasonable prices of the wine make this the kind of winery that you subscribe to for life.

Love this Winery! Great wine, friendly staff, had a blast on our anniversary trip! It's a must go. Beautiful view!!

Great view and great wine with awesome service! Brix the dog is very welcoming!

Increbible wine with beautiful views. The people here are so hospitable and kind. Inclusive price points with a range of delicious whites, reds, and port. Definitely a stop worth prioritizing if you are out wine tasting in Prosser!

Beautifully set up. Art, painting, dolls, so much. My interest is indigenous of the USA, my own heritage. So much to see and the museum had so much respect. I was quite proud. .ost impressed by the bead work, holy cow, wish I had the patience and spiritual stamina. The chess collection is awesome

This is a destination museum in a breathtaking setting. The collection seems to be personal and varied, but that gives it a unique personality. The setting gives you room both physically and intellectually to give you a chance to examine and enjoy each collection in a way quite different than if it was in a metropolitan museum. Taking time outside between galleries allows you to go freshly into a new experience.

This is a great museum and has many different things to see. The different exhibits are interesting and eclectic. Definitely worth the visit.

2 Rodin rooms. 2 rooms of Post-war Parisian fashion designer miniatures. 1 large indigenous artifact room. Location is stunning.

I wasn’t expecting how large the art museum was. There is a lot of art to look at, not just the chess sets. There is also a cafe but we didn’t try it when we were there. The staff were also super friendly. It’s worth the trip.

Well worth the money. Tickets can be bought on line and are good for several months. Find out who was Sam Hill

Amazing little museum in the middle of nowhere with some great pieces. The Rodins, Theatre de la Mode and Native American pieces were especially impressive. Spectacular views of the gorge too.

For myself, and my friend we were not big fans of the wine tasting. Only because the wine was more on the sweeter side. The patio is however very lovely and was nice even on a warm windy day. I actually was glad to be able to try wine and not have to hear someone tell me about what mountainside they got it on. I was able to converse with my friend while sipping wine and looking at that gorgeous view. The only other drawback for me was the decimal of the rap music they were playing. I'm giving this place 2 stars mainly for location.

I don't know which I like better - the wine or the view! Thankfully when you visit you don't have to choose, you get both. The wines are really good. The tasting bar is beautiful and has plenty of space for many tasters at once. The servers are always friendly and attentive even though they are juggling many customers - the place always seems pretty busy! I always enjoy the tasting, but what really makes the visit superb is buying a glass to enjoy on the patio. The views are incredible! This trip was unique for us as there was a layer of snow amid the vines and snow on the hillsides around the Columbia - just amazing. I had a limit of one bottle per winery stop during this trip as we were travelling in our Truck Camper and we have to be aware of the vehicle weight.... and then oops.... we bought 2 cases, where is that going to go? We will visit again soon!

The first face we saw was very friendly. She greeted us with a warm friendly welcome. Unfortunately, she was off shift, leaving and it went down hill from there. We had to go seek service inside as we wanted to be seated outside. Finally got acknowledged. We ordered a taste of wine flights. The wine was good but here's the thing, we go wine tasting a lot. We're wine members at some nice wineries and Maryhill in Goldendale is as good but certainly not better. I think 60.00 dollars for a bottle of a blend is a little much. Nice atmosphere, beautiful setting however, it looks like birds may own this winery instead of people. There were bird droppings everywhere outside, on the floor, on the steps, on the railings. I'd suggest sitting inside if you visit. Overall, good but not great. Possibly a tad overrated, overpriced.

Great winery. Great wine, food and view. Very friendly service. Worth the trip.

Amazing, dramatic setting! Good service and wine. We had the Caesar salad, which was actually pretty good with a house made extra garlicky dressing. The “forest mushroom” pizza was a disappointment, however, as there were virtually no mushrooms on it. Basically more of a flat bread with a lot of roasted garlic.

Have been a regular visitor here for many years. Today's visit very disappointing. After 15 minutes of waiting, we finally ordered our own wine inside. Another 15 minutes and we had to track down a server for our food order. The server first took the order from an adjacent table who arrived well after we did. Yes, they were busy, but there are about 20 tables and 3 servers. No excuse for a 30 minute wait for service. It will be a long while before we head that way again.

One of the best pizzas we have had. The spinach dip was delicious! Beautiful views and very friendly staff! Wine was amazing as well - as expected!!! Thank you for a wonderful and memorable experience!!

I was very impressed by this museum. It feels very authentic and true to the history of Oregon. It goes really deep in to exploring how people moved to the west and developed industries. We learned a ton and it was a great family experience for everyone. Highly recommend. It’s one of the better if not the best history of Oregon museum I’ve been to.

We had the chance to spend the night at this location thanks to HarvestHost, even though the museum itself was temporarily closed due to the fires. Despite the closure, we took the opportunity to wander the grounds, where many structures and statues remained untouched by the flames. Unfortunately, the surrounding landscape had mostly been scorched, and smoke lingered in the air from fires now burning just across the river. Nevertheless, we were grateful for the experience and it served as a powerful reminder of the importance of protecting our natural spaces and practicing fire safety.

Superb museum with a great design and a lot of educational displays. They also have a kids area and they were letting all kids do a museum scavenger hunt. Worth visiting and hope to come back again.

Absolutely beautiful museum! I was shocked at how big and detailed it was. From the geology of the gorge to the native people to the county of Wasco history. Really cool rooms and “sets”. I went alone and am a reader and spent about an hour and half looking at everything. $12 for an adult ticket, is well worth it!!

Absolutely delightful!! The staff (Hannah in particular) were so thoughtful and went out of their way to make our visit successful and memorable. We had a great time and loved the ice age exhibit. We even learned some things we didn't already know! They had loaner wheelchairs and the exhibits and pathways were easy to navigate with a chair.

What a wonderful museum! Lots of interactive activities and tons of information.

They have 2 lovely rescued bald eagles that they take care off, and if you re lucky you can find their silky soft down feathers that they shed as a souvenir!

I had so much fun at this museum. We walked through the gate and our first greeter was a sweet cat named Midnight (she likes belly rubs) when we were done living on her, we met the staff. They were knowledgeable and very friendly. They helped make the experience amazing. I even learned something new!

Friendly docent. Nice selection of old vehicles. Great old bldgs and exhibits on pioneer life. Friendly kitty

Great source of history, the volunteer was full of information and stories. A great place to take the family or have a picnic. They even have an old electric car, see photos. All in all a great stop for families and history buffs

Very nice worth a visit. I really enjoyed the old car collection

Didn't pay to go into the buildings but did tour the grounds and see the many wagons and carriages

Bob is amazing. Very knowledgeable and keeps the museum in beautiful repair. Worth the time to visit when you are in the area.

Addendum: The place has new owners. I met them. They are amazing! The entire place has had an overhaul. Almost nothing is the same. They are restoring it and taking items out as well as putting different items in. It's more like a house now. I posted the new look on here. I had a bunch of amazing photos on here from years ago. Unfortunately they have been removed or something. I am a psychic. We went here to enjoy history and be more aware of it. This museum is the actual house where a doctor resided. The design and the history are rich. Staff here are so welcoming, absolutely delightful. They are accepting of all types of visitors, even MY TYPE. I got so many readings from this property. And most were extreme. Stuff I can't post on here. Beautiful house! Beautiful displays. Areas you can touch, the house itself is pristine. The grounds are immaculate. They also have an antique garage. This garage holds 2 carriages that were specific for funerals. They carried the bodies, right down the road, to the cemetery.

Been using this crew for a decade, although the owner of the original High Desert River Outfitters Co. Has passed and since has been bought out by Raft California I will try to support the new crew with continued dedication.

This is a company that has been in the business a long time and definitely knows what they are doing. Outstanding customer service, COVID compliant and some of the best guides available. The guide for our day trip was Zach Williams and not once did I question the safety of the hands we were in. Several other guides and rafters we encountered along the trip confirmed it by telling us "He's the best guide out here". Multiple trip options to choose from and the experience will be as tame or daring as you and your group chooses. It was so much fun and the pictures the company photographer took really captured it. My group and I are looking forward to the next one. I could not recommend this business more!

Did a half day trip, with Jim as our guide, and it was probably the best rafting trip I have been on (even though I got tossed out of the boat). Just a fun trip, and we will be coming back for a full day for sure.

We participated in the 3 day 2 night rafting/camping trip on the Lower Deschutes River. It was an amazing experience. Truly, the memories will last a lifetime!

My family (wife and two teenagers) were excited as well as apprehensive about white water rafting, that is until they met our guide, Kirk. Kirk, his positive energy and high level of skill truly made our trip one to remember. Our son is autistic and while he enjoys adventure, we thought this might be pushing the envelope. Nope. Kirk caught on fast and made sure to help our son feel capable, included and best of all, Kirk made sure Connor had a great time. We can't wait to head back next summer! Hopefully we get Kirk again.

I've never been whitewater rafting before, but this trip will definitely make me a regular! I plan to go back every summer now! Our guides were amazing and the Groupon price was a steal.

Went this past Friday and was treated to an entire days worth of rafting and a great lunch. The entire staff was friendly and fun. Be prepared to jump off rocks, swim down the “swimmers rapids”, and raft into a refreshingly crisp Deschutes River! Our guide Amanda was incredible. She made the trip one to remember. Would definitely recommend.

This was my first ever rafting trip, though I went with some friends and their kids who have gone a handful of times. Our guide, Pippa, made it the most amazing first experience! She was professional and safe but also funny and personable. Her ‘dad jokes’ were very entertaining and she had so much cool information and history to share with us about the river and surrounding area! I’m glad that she was the one to introduce me to white water rafting, and now I’m hooked! Can’t wait to go back! :)

We went with River Drifters last month and had such an amazing time with Cole as our guide that we HAD to return when my father in law visited from Germany. He had a blast too! The guides are fun and provide every group a unique and memorable experience. We had a rather large group, so email communication was needed to arrange accordingly. The group is very responsive and super helpful. 10/10 will go again!

We've drafted on the Deschutes River before but with other outfitters. This time we used Riverdrifters. From start to finish, the Reservation process, their pricing, their thorough communications until our day to raft were very reasonable, professional, and informative. Yesterday was our day on the River and, once again, Riverdrifters was awesome! Our guide, Chris, was very safety-oriented, knowledgeable, fun, and navigated all of the rapids with excellent execution. The lunch provided was excellent ( the cookies were the bomb!) Highly recommended for your next trip!

This was such a fun experience for a wide age range. The guides are friendly and patient. They also build time in for people to take swims if they like. There were plenty of jaunty class 3s that I couldn’t capture pics of. It’s exciting and relaxing, all in one half day trip. Definitely worth it. Just beware food choices will be slim out here. But the Imperial Hotel has a beautiful back patio with decent food.

Amazing trip! Jose was the best guide—fun, clear, and kept us safe while still bringing the excitement. Favorite part hands down was the Big Thrill Swimmers Rapid—absolutely unforgettable! Highly recommend rafting with Jose.

I went on 2 full day trips in July, and just got back from a 3 day camping raft trip. The day trips were great despite having done this run many times each of the day trips were a different experience, the guides are fantastic and make the trips so much fun. Once I had Johnny and I can’t say enough about how good he was, so smart and funny and sweet! The next time it was Walker who was the guide, he was also great, I swear I can’t recall laughing like I did that day! But the camping trip was the absolute best! RiverDrifters communicate well and all is well organized. The guide Haven is just fabulous, knowledgeable, considerate and you always feel safe. He is just a wonderful person all around, we also had Wilson, and it is truley amazing the things he gets done, he takes all the gear down the river ahead of us and finds the most perfect camp sites and has things set up! He is the man behind the scene that without him… it just wouldn’t work!! If you are looking for a great river experience go with RiverDrifters!!

We had such an amazing time. Our guide Chris was a lot of fun but also very accommodating for my husband who has some hip issues. Very knowledgeable about the history and wildlife and was very safe. We will definitely be back!!!

Tucked away in the hills just outside Madras hides this literal gem. The a selection of unique stones for sale from local fields and from a far is second to none. I have never seen a literal pile of raw thunder eggs the size of a baby's head until I went here! Friendly people, jaw dropping museum room and plenty of unique wears for sale. A must see for any rock hound!

Absolutely incredible crystals, geodes, specimens, basically anything you can imagine. My friends and I stopped here on our way back from a concert, and everything about this place is awesome. Incredible prices on everything (especially the rough stones in the yard, typically only $5 a pound), and awesome customer service. This is a must-stop location if you're passing by it!!

They have a wonderful selection of raw stones, crystals, and thunder eggs outside and a very nice collection of tumbled, polished and shaped stones and crystals inside. So glad we took a detour to stop and check it out! Some of my beautiful finds in their new home 😍 they haven't been cleaned up yet, but they still speak to me! Super friendly proprietors that can tell you all about their items. Stop in to add to your stone/crystal collection and visit the Ostrich and Peacocks too. We'll be back soon!

Love this place. Literal tons of rock to satisfy every rockhound. Their prices for rough are really good. Nothing like picking your own pieces instead of rolling the dice online. Store has all kinds of finished pieces from all over the world.

This is the best rock shop I've ever been to! There is so much variety and they are very helpful.

An absolute paradise for rock lovers 😍 I drove many hours to go here and was not at all disappointed. There are so many rocks from all over the world, and also a beautiful gift store with lots of treasures. I could have spent all day here, and all my money. I can’t wait yo visit it again sometime (soon!🤞).

If you’re looking for the best rock shop in Oregon, look no further. Richardson’s Rock Ranch in Madras is a no-frills, down-to-earth rock lover’s paradise. As someone who’s been bringing rocks, sticks, and leaves home since childhood, this place felt like a dream come true. You’re greeted by actual peacocks (yes—peacocks) wandering the property, and the whole experience is welcoming and judgment-free. You can dig through bins of crystals, minerals, and rough cuts priced by the pound, all while surrounded by breathtaking views of cowboy country. The drive alone is worth it. This is a true local gem—family-owned, full of character, and the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again. Whether you’re a rockhound, collector, or just someone who appreciates Earth’s natural beauty, go shop local and support this incredible brick-and-mortar. I’ll definitely be going back.

It's small and never crowded.Great air conditioner always nice and cool. No smoking.and they have a a vending machine you can buy cigs out of...... CRAZY. I haven't seen one of those since I was a little child

Nice level RV parking lot free to overnight. Casino is modern and really clean. Great variety of games to play. We enjoyed a nice buffet and left with a little more cash than we walked in with. Staff are all cheerful here. Shuttle from parking is convenient

Staff friendly helpful and caring. Casino clean and upbeat. Restaurant staff great food was disappointing and Luke warm. We had the special prime rib and baked potatoe. Primarily cool no seasoning aus gus thsamr. Baked was hard but hot. My side salad was good. I no it was a special but not being hot and season doesn't cost more than .1 a pound. So restaurant most likely no go again.

We went for the Ace Frehley concert. The place is small,the stage is outside in the parking lot. Is only 111° degrees. We stayed overnight in the ban. The concert was kind of sad not too much people nobody would sing along specially when Ace wanted everyone to sing and answer back in the New York groove. But my brother and I sang and enjoyed it alot. It was like our own private concert. Ace probably won't go there again.

Right off of highway 26. Plenty of parking but a very narrow drive in between parking spots in front of the casino. When long trucks parked there it's difficult to get through there is a fenced side lot which might be for larger vehicles. We stopped in for a couple of drinks and some food. Hoping for a buffet but we're pretty impressed with the lunch menu and the drinks were great. Lady friend played the slots while I checked out the museum and heritage store. I highly recommend taking a look at both of those. There's also interesting stuff to see across the street from the casino... Doors were locked when I visited but plan to return when it's open. GREAT VIEWS of the river from this park across the street too! BUT watch out for BIG OLE DUMMY SEMI TRUCK DRIVERS who aren't familiar with what a crosswalk is though. Hold your little ones hands

My first visit...Little place, but great games. There are two places on site to eat. We ate lunch at the small café. Prices were surprisingly low and the food was very good.

Where you can go to lose it all. The odds here are very low. When drawing. Happens its rarely a name that's not always called. The one time a winner picked me I spent the entire amount to win next to nothing . Guessing your card tracks rather good knowing the inexperienced from the experienced . Very clean very nice front counter people though

Beautiful walk to the metolius river viewpoint. The ponderosa pines are gorgeous here. The chipmunks are also very curious here. There is a large parking area at the viewpoint and vaulted pit toilets that can get pretty stinky during the day and also a walk in camp. There is a picnic area as well. Benches at the river viewing area and some along the way. 8/13/18

Five stars in Autumn. Did the loop trail from Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery to Lower Bridge than back on the other side of the river. Went there at early October, a lot of Falls color and the water are so clear. The hike is around 6 miles round trip easy hike. It is rare that you could hike on the edge of the river most of the way. The river is also a hot spot for fly fishing.

Beautiful place to visit or camp. An amazing natural resource to be experienced.

There is a gorgeous hiking trail near Camp Sherman that leads to the fish hatchery. There are a few small waterfalls and the river is ver clear with amazing blue and green colors.

An incredibly beautiful river, eleven different well-maintained campsites, the charming Camp Sherman store, and The intriguing Fish Hatchery. Honestly this place has something fun for everyone! Yet another reason my family's been camping there for over 60 years.

Rated one of the top 3 most pristine rivers in the United States with some of the best fly fishing for trophy trout anywhere. It starts underground from west of the Cascades and emerges out of the rocks near Camp Sherman. At the end of the pathway where you can just sit and enjoy the beauty of Central Or. Take a step back in time and relax. It's good for the soul

Very nice stroll along a beautiful spring fed river. Pristine waters. Easy walk.

Very awe inspiring place super cool rock formations and canyons

Amazing place to vacation. We camped at Crooked River Campground in the Cove Palisades State Park. The campsite was large and the bathrooms were cleaned everyday. Clean showers were a blessing at the end of the day! There was lots of wild life and deer. Hiking trail and small amphitheater area for a large group gathering. AT&T had reception but T-Mobile users were out of luck in camp. Lots of fun on the water. And grassy tree shaded play area for kids on the bank with protected swim area right next to boat launch. Made it easy to take turns on the water with large family. There is a courtesy dock that was extremely useful. There is a kayak launch too. Great to board kayak roller launch into water easy . There is a marina for fuel and general store for things you forgot( like a case of water) . Lots of opportunity to rent house boats, jet skis and other watercraft. Would suggest to go to “clear water” where the green water of Lake Billy Schnook meets the fresh mountain river. The water in the river is crystal clear and cold which is a big contrast to the green warm water of Billy Schnook. The rock canyon walls are beautiful. Lava, pressure and time have created works of art. Nature is beautiful. On land I would suggest to visit the scenic look out points. You can see Mount Hood, Mount Jefferson, and the Sisters. ( plus the others in the ring of fire. Don’t know all the names) . We were there 7 days and could have stayed longer.

I went here for a Christian summer camp with my church and I got to meet a lot of new people and make a lot of friends especially kids around my age and some really cool leaders. There were areas where we could go on Shore and hike or walk around if we wanted to we were also able to canoe and swim almost wherever we wanted. We stayed on houseboats and it was a really fun experience to know what it's like to live on a boat and to get closer to God. The only not-so-fun part was the almost a little over eight hour drive but it was still cool because we got to ride the whole way in tour buses that had TVs and USB ports so we have entertainment .I will still definitely be going again next year and making even more memories and strengthening my relationship with God. P. S I just wrote a really long review because I need to level up my tour guide account and to do that I have to make 5 200-plus character reviews.

Beautiful lake with large basalt cliffs. Road that winds around the cove pallasaids is quite an adventure

Cove Pallisades state park, the three rivers community and Lake Billy Chinook, in Culver are a sight to behold, the canyons from the town following the outline of the lake up to three rivers and then into the marina is a spectacular if hazardous drive (falling rocks), and never ceases to amaze, never busy, terribly overlooked in terms of scenery, opposite the Warm Springs native nation and the pelton dam, Round Butte mountain which has a spectacular 360° viewpoint over the Cascades, been 7 times, going to visit again in Feb. '26, can't wait, a poinant scattering my mothers ashes over the lake, Redmond and Bend, Madras and Prineville can't wait.

Had a very nice vacation here during the eclipse. Family had a great time in the swim area of three rivers marina. Well stocked and supplied stores only downfall is public out houses were stinky. All in all, a stellar experience.

I grew up in Central Oregon and this was one of my favorite swimming holes. It’s a shame that there seems to be a chronic blue-green algae problem in the water. It’s still an excellent spot for boating and camping. The place I last stayed even had an educational program in the canyon every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night.

Would try again. Food slow coming out of kitchen. There was a group of three before us. And we were a group of 5 who placed our order after small group got their food. Hash browns were just barely browned. Eggs were cooked as ordered. Nice, clean place..like I said.. I would try again.

Amazing day at and amazing course! Family was in town for a family reunion, decided to sneak in a round before the festivities, found this gem in prineville and let me tell you the views of the course are amazing , even coming down the hill overlooking it we were amazed! The course was in awesome shape , plush grass , well manicured greens ,. We were elated the whole day ! It took awhile as we walked and it is a large course , just more time for brews! The drinks were cheap and the fun was non stop! We let a few carted small groups play thru as we were taking our time enjoying the course. Took us about 4.5 hrs for 18 and we both had zero complaints! We’re already planning our trip back,. Best part ,. ITS SO AFFORDABLE! Paid a few bucks more then my local executive course I play weekly ,.. did I say I was coming back? Cuz I am !

Best city course I've ever played. Very well kept and a great restaurant to boot.

Very nice course, but don’t go unless you have 5+ hours for your round. I’ve played here twice in the past 2 weeks and both times have been too packed with big groups and slow play. Wasted $100 to only get through 6 holes in 2 hours

This is my happy place.

Found a hidden gem in Central Oregon. Meadow Lakes in Prineville is a gorgeous, perfectly maintained golf course with lush tee boxes, fairways, and greens. It is long, with water and sand on every hole. And ONLY $30 for 18 holes with a cart, after 3pm Mo-Th.

Great course, so green and lush this time off year (early summer). Newly paved cart paths!

What an absolutely beautiful place. Not too far of a drive. Paved paths. Was able to push my husband in his wheelchair thru out the whole area. Always a pleasure to spend an afternoon out here

I've gone here twice and both times I enjoyed it a lot. It was really nice to just walk around and appreciate nature as well as to feed the fish. You can buy some fish food and machines around the place for a quarter. You can also spot an eagle perched at the top of the trees sometimes which is awesome sight. I forgot to take pictures of the actual hatchery, but I took some of the river.

Super cool looking at the fish and the river was insane!

Very beautiful place for a stroll/hike, alone or with family or friends. Place is well maintained, with lots of fish of different stage complete with information boards for your knowledge. Bring a picnic lunch as there are tables overlooking the lake and the view is gorgeous!

The hatchery was on a nice site. We could roam freely along the runs, observing the bigger fish. The fertilizing and nursery were closed.. There was a pond with large fish swimming around that you could feed. The river next to the hatchery was beautiful.

The hatchery is notable in that the West and East Metolius trails can be accessed from here. Ample parking and several campgrounds are very close by. The fall scenery here is mindblowing and picture taking opportunities are abundant. Bring all of your supplies, the closest store is Camp Sherman and is miles away. Five star hiking area.

We loved walking around and seeing the whole process!

Went there for the first time Oct 2025. I went on a day about 11:00 am that they were having a rock climbing event so parking full. Decided to go to Dee Wright Observatory ( amazing) and come back. Arrived about 3:00 pm. Still a lot of ppl but found parking. Was my lucky day because took the Canyon trail (which was flat as far as I went) and was alone on it. Was unbelievably beautiful and peaceful. Pictures do not capture the raw beauty of nature there. Really an amazing place I could’ve walked for days in if I could have. A really special experience. I met two ppl in a diner who said they’ve never been, one has lived in area for 9 years and one for 3. Blew my mind. I would be there as much as possible if I lived close by. Go if you are lucky enough to.

This is an amazing place to visit. The formations are breathtaking and forever changing . Great place for hiking, rock climbing and just taking in the beauty. Spiritually moving and Awe inspiring Peace. Portable toilets and guided tours. Eagle watching is also fun if you can find them amongst the massive formation.

Beautiful stop! Smith Rock State Park looks vastly different than its surrounding area. You can either park and have a picnic and or hike, just soak in the views and head out, or enjoy the rock climbing wall playground they have! Our legs were killing us, so we decided just to do a quick stop and enjoy the views! Don't forget to check out Crescent Moon Ranch that's only 7 minutes away to feed and pet alpacas just for $5!

The views are AMAZING. There are plenty of trails on all different levels. The volunteers at the Welcome Center can advise you what trail to choose. I would recommend everyone to go here. If you don't have time or are physically not able to hike, still go there to watch the views from the parking lot. 15 minutes parking is free and within 1 minute you have stunning views.

Smith Rock is a wonderful scenic site that anyone can enjoy. If you can't walk far, just park at the top of the canyon and look out at the majesty of the rocks and high desert scenery. If you want a short hike, just bring a bottle of water and walk carefully down to the valley floor where the river is. If you want more adventure, there is rock climbing and there are longer hikes too. There is plenty of wildlife. We saw a marmot once feasting on the irrigated grass at the bottom. I've seen Osprey, Black-billed Magpie, Mallards, Canada Geese, Canyon Wren, White-throated Swifts, and others around too. For Oregon scenery, this spot isn't to be missed.

This has been one of the highlights of our road trip so far! Absolutely spectacular and such great choices in trail length. We were a bit confused at the start where the “Summit Loop” began from, but all trails seem to start from the one main entrance that takes you across the river. There’s also a large map once you get across.

We stopped by while passing through, merely to see the climbing area that we've heard of from ages past when Dale Goddard frequented the area. (We are "climbers emeritus".) When we arrived we realized that it deserved a lot more time than we had allocated for the visit. Lots of interesting trails with a variety of difficulties to explore, and only a short drive to Bend with all its creature comforts, or the lovely Tumalo State Park campground. Smith Rock is a seven hour drive from our home, but we are planning to go back.

Great experience! My toddler and family enjoyed the entire time here. Initially driving in, it looks ran down but once you start walking around it is very serene and peaceful. Initially I thought it would be a quick in and out trip but we ended up taking over 2 hours here, although could be completed way quicker. We got lots of fun photos and enjoyed feeding the peacocks and visiting the gift shop. We almost missed the exhibit at the front of the property with water and islands, so make sure to visit that side of the property since it isn't well marked. Must see stop when visiting the area. Dog and toddler friendly!

If you like roadside attractions—the kind that spring from one person’s sheer vision, diligence, and obsession—then Peterson Rock Garden is an absolute must-see. This place is a folk art fever dream come to life: hand-built miniature castles, bridges, and patriotic monuments, all crafted from lava rock, agate, petrified wood, and glass. It’s eccentric, a little weathered, and absolutely unforgettable. But here’s the real hidden gem: the gift shop. Calling it a treasure trove doesn’t do it justice. We found genuine showpiece items for our home at unbelievable prices—pieces we’d expect to see in a curated boutique for triple the cost. On top of that, the staff gave us a mini history lesson about the garden’s creator and the surrounding area while we browsed. It was one of those moments where you go in expecting a kitschy stop and leave with a story, a haul of amazing finds, and a greater appreciation for the passion behind the place. A quick heads-up: if you hear what sounds like a mythical creature howling through the trees, don’t panic—you’re not being hunted. That’s just one of the overly dramatic peacocks voicing his displeasure at… who knows what. There are peacocks all over the grounds, strutting freely and occasionally screaming like something out of Jurassic Park. It’s weird, wonderful, and totally on brand for a place like this. Highly recommend taking the detour. You won’t regret it.

Quirky, off the beaten path spot. Dozens of odd hand built rock and lava structures by a devoted Mr. Petersen. Artsy and unique. Interesting small museum as well. A dozen peacocks of all ages roam the property. Worth a visit if you're in the area. Rustic facilities, free entry but donation requested.

Read about this place in Weird Oregon and stopped by on the return trip to the Painted Hills. Beautiful, and just as weird as the book described! The museum has inconsistent hours which makes me sad because I would have loved to go inside but perhaps another trip is in order 😉 The pond lilies were blooming and the peacocks gave us a show, too 🦚

Great fun, held my first chicken here and for $1 you get a cup of seeds to feed the peacocks! We enjoyed the museum filled with so many different rocks, stones, gems, and crystals. You can even buy some there or ask where you can forge your own. The staff made me feel comfortable asking questions and sharing their knowledge, which is a big plus considering I’m shy when it comes to that.

An absolute treasure! This is a wonderful place to take your kids! This farm turned rock garden has a colorful past which is perfectly preserved by the current owners. They have peacocks who while quite noisy are docile enough to feed. The sculptures are creative and you can see a progression of skill and creativity as Mr. Petersen built new rock art pieces. Admission is based on donation, with adults paying a suggested $10 and kids are up to you. Well worth the visit.

A beautiful and fun experience! Highly recommend all to stop and take a stroll through to see Peacocks n Peahens along with the intrinsically amazing stone/rock creations!
