Ponzi Vineyards

Mentioned on

Winery
Food & Drink
Ponzi Vineyards, established in the 1970s by Dick and Nancy Ponzi, is one of the pioneering families of winemaking in Willamette Valley. The facility is comparable to those found in Napa Valley and offers a beautiful outdoor patio area with a fire pit for wine tastings. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their wines, which include delicious whites that even non-white drinkers can enjoy.
My experience at Ponzi was absolutely wonderful! The views and atmosphere inside/outside were exquisite and the wine was delicious! Im from Kansas and had a girls weekend in Portland- we made it a point to check out one of the top rated wineries in the area and Ponzi did not disappoint! Shannon was our waitress and she was so kind and knowledgeable about the history of the winery, wines, and founders and helped to make our experience memorable. I would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Portland.
Keely G — Google review
We had an amazing experience at Ponzi Vineyard! From start to finish, everything was perfect. Our server, Jenaviv, was outstanding so knowledgeable about the wines and incredibly friendly, she made our visit memorable. The wines were excellent, with a wide selection and great quality. The charcuterie board was also delicious and paired perfectly with the tasting. The atmosphere was beautiful, relaxing, and welcoming, making it the perfect place to spend the afternoon. We loved every part of our visit and will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!

The best winery experience we have ever had. We started with a tour, barrel tasting followed by a four course wine pairing lunch. Our guide Matthew was very knowledgeable and friendly and the wine was amazing. The seasonal menu was outstanding with fresh local ingredients from Chef Brandon.
Sean M — Google review
Everything about this place is stunning, and the wine is incredible! We enjoyed a Harvest Tour with Matthew — what a treat! He is so knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts about the vineyards, the family history, and the winemaking process. We loved our time here and can’t wait to return.
Erin A — Google review
What a treat! I visited Ponzi Winery with a dear friend and had such a lovely experience- just wish the whole family could’ve joined. The setting is beautiful, with a play area for kids and a garden space perfect for live music and picnic-style relaxation. The charcuterie was top-notch, the wines rich and delicious, and the gelato absolutely hit the spot. Huge thanks to Shannon for being such a knowledgeable and welcoming host, and to Phil, the manager, who treated me like an old friend. Looking forward to coming back - maybe with a book in hand or even my laptop to get some work done!

My friends and I had an exceptional time during our tasting at Ponzi. Chris was a gracious host, walking us through the extensive history of the winery and the stewardship of the land. We felt like VIP's, and I could not recommend a place more suited for an amazing afternoon. The tasting room is cozy and luxurious by the fireplace and the views on the patio are stunning. The only thing better were the wines! It is an experience not to be missed!

Wings & Waves Waterpark

Mentioned on 
7 lists 
Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Wings & Waves Waterpark is an expansive indoor water park that offers a variety of attractions for visitors of all ages. The park features the thrilling Splash Down Harbor wave pool and the Vortex Pool, providing endless fun regardless of the season. With ten waterslides catering to different age groups and thrill levels, including slides exiting from a real 747 aircraft on the roof, there's something for everyone.
The staff is very friendly, diligent in safety and very organized. The facility is kept clean and offers ample resources to provide a fun filled day. We live an hr and 20 min from W/W but it's worth the travel because the price to get in allows 4 hours of fun and excitement for my young family members.
Maria T — Google review
We visited this place with our family and booked online. The price was reasonable for spending 4 hours in a safe, enclosed space with the kids. All the water games were enjoyable, and the entry process was smooth. Seating areas were decent, and overall cleanliness around the facility was good. The staff, mostly young, were attentive and clearly focused on everyone's safety, which we truly appreciated. However, the bathrooms were disappointing — many of the showers were broken or lacked hot water, and the family restrooms had no shampoo at all and were not well maintained. Some areas of the facility feel outdated and could benefit from modernization. Additionally, the food options in the on-site restaurant were limited and could use more variety. Thank you for the experience!
HAYDER S — Google review
We had so much fun here with my family. The only thing I would recommend is eat before you go cause their food is terrible. But everyone was very nice and helpful. Also I would recommend buying tickets online before u plan to go being they only let so many people in each session.
Amanda G — Google review
Disappointing Experience – Lack of Transparency and Support I was trying to purchase tickets online and had them in my cart when I received an error directing me to contact the company. I followed instructions, came in person as prompted, and was told there was nothing they could do—even though the tickets were still in my cart at the advertised price. I don’t think it’s fair to advertise a price, allow a purchase to proceed, and then not honor it due to a technical error. I’m requesting reimbursement for the price difference, as this feels misleading and frustrating. In addition, I hadn’t visited in a few years and was surprised to find that tubes now cost extra. Previously, single and double tubes were included, but now you’re charged $7–$10 unless you grab one of the few free single tubes. This charge is buried in the FAQ—it should be clearly listed with admission pricing or posted at the entrance. There are limited number of single tubes that are available for “free”-forcing people to rent. To make matters worse, the wave pool—one of the main attractions—was broken during my visit, and there was no signage or notification. No discount or compensation was offered despite the incomplete experience. Overall, I’m really disappointed in the lack of communication, transparency, and support. I won’t be returning and can’t recommend the park to others unless these issues are addressed.
Stephany W — Google review
Absolutely awesome place to take the kids! The slides are crazy fun and the plane aspect of it is absolutely crazy! It's nuts a whole plane is actually up there! And you slide from inside it! I have contacts too so I'm only able to go down the slides that land flat, not into a pool. And all but 1 were this way so I actually got to enjoy myself!
Sara — Google review
It looks like a cool water park when you first arrived, but I promise the management is terrible and will nickel-and-dime you for everything. In fact, they don't mention the fact that your ticket only includes a few activities for small kids despite them paying full price. You'll also need to pay $10 for a tube if you want your small kid to ride the main slides. Also, some slides were closed and there was blood all over the place because they fail to regulate the kiddie slides and will let huge dudes go down and injure themselves.
Daniel N — Google review
We celebrated our son’s birthday at Wings and Waves Water Park and had a fantastic time. We rented a cabana, which turned out to be a great decision since it gave us a comfortable spot close to the children’s play area. The food was better than expected—pizza was pretty decent, but the real highlight was the cookies, which came out warm and delicious. The park has four main slides. The cabana included one double tube, but since there weren’t many free tubes floating around, we rented two more for $20. It was well worth it—otherwise, you’d spend too much time waiting at the bottom of the slides. My wife and I braved the big blue slide together, and let’s just say it was like a rocket ship taking off! It was much faster than expected, which left her a little queasy afterward, but it was definitely memorable. Out of the four slides, three required tubes, while the Mach 21 did not. Personally, I found the blue slide way more thrilling than Mach 21. Aside from the slides, there’s also a wave/tidal pool area. While relaxing there, I saw a child struggling to keep their head above water. I was genuinely impressed by how quickly the lifeguard responded and got the child out safely. They had some difficulty locating the parents, but it was reassuring to see how attentive and professional the staff were in keeping everyone safe. Our cabana was also assigned a hostess, Riley, who did a fantastic job making sure we had everything we needed and checked in on us throughout the day. Overall, it was a very positive experience—fun for the kids, exciting for adults, and well-run by staff who take both service and safety seriously. I’d definitely recommend Wings and Waves, especially if you rent a cabana for the extra convenience.

A wonderful afternoon spent with my daughter! Get ready to walk a few flights of stairs to enjoy the 4 slides, but it is worth it. Can't wait to go back

Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum

Mentioned on 
18 lists 
Museum
Event venue
Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville is a popular attraction known for its unique features, including the world's largest historic aircraft. The museum offers an educational and inspirational experience, showcasing the history of aviation and space travel. Visitors can explore various displays that highlight human achievements in mathematics, sciences, and the spirit of exploration. The museum also provides guided tours and engaging programs for enthusiasts of all ages. Additionally, it houses a water park and 3D theater for added entertainment.
If you love aviation you will love this place. Two huge buildings packed with aircraft that span the history of aviation. More are located outside around the grounds. You can get up close to most of them. Walk around them. Peer into windows and cargo bays. All have informative displays. Have a question? Docents are everywhere. Or ask the Vet standing next to you. Go at your own pace or join a guided tour. I spent a day here and had a great time. Very clean. Spacious. And, of course, Spruce Goose. That alone is worth the visit.
Michael S — Google review
Very well done flight museum! Definitely rivals the one in DC. Fantastic collection including the Spruce Goose, SR-71, F117, F-14, F-15, and many many more. We took 2-1/2 hours but felt slightly rushed to see everything. I recommend reserving a tour if you want to see the whole Goose, otherwise you just get to see the main level from the platform. My only critique is about half of the kids displays were out of order. I know it's a funding issue, but it's what allows the little breaks for the kids so the adults can experience the main points the museum has to offer.
Ryan Y — Google review
I went about an hour before closing and it was more than enough time to see both the aviation and space museum. The tour guides were helpful and they will help you free of charge. It’s well kept as well and really cool. Plenty of parking and it’s a good walk between the two museums. Definitely recommend! Don’t go when there’s an air show across the street tho it added a couple hours to my trip lol.
Olivia G — Google review
We had the best time ever. All of the staff were incredibly accommodating and helpful and we learned a ton! The biggest shout out to the volunteer Sylvia, who went out of her way to ensure my kids had a blast. I highly recommend to any and all ages, you will leave knowing more about aviation than when you arrived.
Olivia P — Google review
One of my favorite museums I’ve visited. The goose was huge, every plane has interesting information about it, including how it was sourced which I found interesting. The info was very well curated and topical, with relevant ties to oregon when topical. Lots of friendly staff/volunteers around. The blackbird was also very cool to see. I would say 2 hours for the air section and 2 hours for the space section if you want to read everything. But could probably see everything in an hour if youre just peeking around and not reading much. Highly recommend though!
Alan C — Google review
If you’re an aviation lover, this place is literally meant for you. Also, if you even have to ask or think about going to this place, they have the freaking spruce goose on display. It’s crazy to see how massive it is in person. Also, in the other building, they have an SR 71, F117 nighthawk and so many other cool planes on display. As an adult, I was a child admiring history, aviation, and so many cool airplanes all around. I highly highly recommend going out to this facility.
Eric C — Google review
A nice afternoon with a really impressive collection of aircraft and memorabilia. There are tours of the inside of the Spruce goose which is actually made of birch but those are timed so that takes a little planning but if you are ok just seeing the rest it’s really a wonderful few hours! Play structure for the grand boy, theatre for 3D movies and flight sims for people e with a hardy constitution 😃

I went for the PNW tattoo convention. I have to say parkung was a bit confusing at first but it was alright. The place is very clean and beautiful, the scenery was amazing. I went to go eat, i would have lived to go to the buffet but to be honest the prices were a bit unreasonable for my taste. But i did go to the Jalapeño place and I liked that. Prices there are very reasonable and you get the bang for you buck. I ordered the chips and queso, I shared it with three people for less then 10 dollars, we had these smash burgers that were great and those were about 12 each. I then later had the chicken tenders and fries, that was 14 but they were huge. The live entertainment was amazing and extremely personable, I would love to stop by just to listen to them play.

Oh hey... how's things there in oregon? Sure had a real nice visit with another native chickadee girlieee last time I rolled through Oregon tribal territory. I am and have been all about investing in what you have going on there with that whole gaming commission set up. I was all over that from day one... just purchasing the country back one dollar at a time. Yeah... I invested. Oh hey do you ever get any old Indian war head pennies? The real old pennies, you know... from before the wheat pennies? I love those pennies the most. One day maybe I'll tell you all about this one war penny I floated out there from an interesting location. 5 on it. oh anyhow I just wanted to reach out and say hello to that one girlie i wound up actually shacking up with for a few... cool huh? well... almost... except she had a bullet in her leg and we were hostages. Yeah that part sucked. it sucked a lot. Ya'll ever get her back? Tell her Heather said hi. might cruise through...

Good pitstop on my way back from the coast. Craps is fun and the dealers will teach you or sometimes a regular will take you under their wing. Probably worth it to sign up for the promotions if you like to visit regularly. Check out their website for when to go depending on what you like to pay for the best deals as they change and the promo have sometimes many MANY steps to activate so read the rules in full so you know what to do.

07/08/23: I came back to purchase some items and everything was still great. The Adidas store got redesigned with new looks and offers 40% off store wide. The directory at the front is super helpful for visitors like me to quickly search the brands. I enjoyed my visit 06/10/23: this outlet is way better than the ones in Washington. It has a larger parking lot with selections of brands ranging from small, medium to large. There are tons of great deals on different items and especially there are no TAXES. I enjoyed shopping around and will come back in the future

Breathtaking display gardens, beautiful fields of iris and dog friendly place. We had an amazing afternoon just admiring the beauty of this place. My husband and I with our fur babies had a lovely picnic under the shade of a big tree. Very peaceful atmosphere and you can hear birds singing. We love this garden, we visit every year and still enjoy going here.
Juventas T — Google review
We went the first week of June. We have been intending to go to the iris gardens for years, finally made it happen. The entrance fee is $8 for adults, parking can be quite full, the gardens are lovely. They have gardens to walk through that have many beautiful flowers, even non iris. They sell bulbs, and make sure you make it out to the fields...iris as far as you can see.
Faye C — Google review
I have ordered from Schreiner’s for more than 10 years . Yes they are more expensive than other brands but they have always been worth it . The quality has always been far above the average. The size of the roots and the wonderful way they label each iris with a tag showing the color of the iris. This always made planting much easier. However, this year many of my irises that arrived are very disappointing. They no longer have the beautiful labels just white labels with black print on them. And some of my iris are so tiny. I cannot believe they even shipped them to me. The change in labeling is extremely disappointing along with the drop in quality of some of the iris I received. Many of them are just as beautiful as they always were but too many of them are far too tiny.
Traci N — Google review
We went in late May. I was expecting the irises to be on their way out but most varieties were still blooming. There were so many stunning varieties to see. Some of my favorites were new introductions and not yet available to purchase. A lot were sold out by the time I visited at the end of the high season. I don’t love that you have to order and pay for shipping and there isn’t an option to buy rhizomes there, except for a few select varieties in pots. I guess it makes sense with the iris growing season. It’s just that shipping isn’t cheap and you have to pay it with each order. So there was a restock shortly after I ordered but I didn’t order more as I’d have to pay shipping again. Everyone had to wash up and take allergy medicine after the visit as there was a lot of pollen, understandably.

This stunning garden showcases a vibrant array of irises in a variety of colors, each more beautiful than the last. We had a wonderful time strolling through the well-maintained, thoughtfully organized grounds, soaking in the beauty of the irises and the dreamy, oil-painting-like atmosphere.
Lilac C — Google review
Had a great day. We wandered the fields of irises in the morning, then went to the display gardens, everything was beautiful, stopped at the food trucks, and ate lunch at the picnic tables, then visited the vendor tents on our way to the secret garden, before hitting the gift shop for a bouquet of 10 irises for our table. 100 years of growing spectacular and beautiful things. Thanks for a fun day.

Absolutely incredible! Schreiner’s is responsible for adding tremendous beauty to our gardens! The irises & daylilies we’ve purchased have blown us away - so healthy, so strong, undeniably beautiful!
Abigail A — Google review
Went for mother's day, spent 2+ hours enjoying all the irises and other flowers in the main display gardens alone. Seemed like most flowers were in full bloom, only a few hadn't yet, or had already died. Tickets were cheaper since we bought online in advance.

A beautiful venue with many unique wines to try. It was so nice to have an indoor tasting space in the heat of summer. Plus, they were so knowledgeable about the different varieties and what made them each special. We'll definitely be back!

Our visit to Eola Hills was not just a great wine experience, the people there from Tom to Brett to Steve were just awesome to connect with and a joy to spend a day with. The wine was excellent, the people were welcoming and the views and ambiance were some of the best Oregon has to offer. We also had pizzas from the kitchen that’s were excellent. The views from the Lagacy vineyard were spectular and Brittany was knowledgeable and her dog was so cute!
Pete B — Google review
It was our second time visiting Eola hills and we were so glad we returned! Originally we visited the legacy vineyard in May of 2022 and it was unpretentious, welcoming and the wines were DELICIOUS - especially the wedding Pinot and the wolf hill Pinot. Recently we visited the main location off the highway in Rickreall and had a wonderfully relaxing time tasting new vintages and engaging with the knowledgeable staff. We walked away with the same Pinots we did in 2022 and can’t wait to find some special occasions to enjoy them. Recommend highly for a variety of delicious wines at a reasonable price point!

The Oregon Garden

Botanical garden
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in Silverton, Oregon, The Oregon Garden is an 80-acre botanical paradise featuring a diverse array of plant species and captivating water features. Visitors can explore the Children's Garden, Pet-Friendly Garden, and Rediscovery Forest, as well as the iconic Gordon House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The garden offers a feast for the eyes with its colorful flowers, conifers, and rare flora.
Lived in Oregon for 10 years and never been. It was really great. However, one of the main water areas were closed on Memorial Day weekend. There was beautiful art in the garden to buy at this time as well--pieces large and small. Oh, and people brought their dogs and they encourage picnics! Great prices on plants at the nursery. Got a cute mid-size fern for $9! Many were even less $$$. If I lived closer, I might even get a season pass.

I bought the tram ticket upon entry, not realizing I would walk everywhere first. I had the ticket and figured might as well. The gentleman driving -I believe Doug, was enthusiastic and did provide additional information. The grounds are beautiful, plenty of photo ops, they have gorgeous event spaces! Silverton is a super cute town, and a great place to explore after visiting.

It was the perfect weather today to visit the Oregon Garden. Lived here for 5 years and this is the first time I’ve been here. Took the tram around the garden which was actually kind of nice. It’s about 20-25 minute tour. The lady that gave us the tour gave us a lot of history and information about the garden. I assume that coming here in spring will be nicer and more vibrant and fresh than coming in the summer months. There is a lot of parking space and we didn’t have to buy tickets in advance.

On behalf of Kvetka Flower, I want to say a huge thank you to Oregon Garden for the amazing experience! We worked here as florists for a wedding, creating that iconic airy arrangement on the gazebo and decorating the entire venue. The location itself is magical, but what truly impressed us was the team. All the staff were not just professional, but incredibly kind, responsive, and ready to help. It made our work an absolute pleasure. We highly recommend Oregon Garden to both brides and our fellow vendors! We sincerely look forward to new projects with you.

Amusement park ride
Sights & Landmarks
Salem's Riverfront Carousel is a delightful gem that opened its doors in 2001, showcasing the incredible craftsmanship of local volunteers who hand-carved over 40 stunning horses and other figures. This indoor carousel offers a magical experience for visitors of all ages, with beautifully painted animals that capture the essence of Oregon. The atmosphere is enhanced by friendly staff who are eager to share insights about the intricate carving process.
The carousel is located in such beautiful area. The rides are so well-maintained and is perfect to take your family and then go play at the park. Their gift shop is very nice and they had a nice selection of ice cream. We will definitely be back.

Place was unexpectedly closing early but locked up even earlier than posted time. When asked if we could ride (there from out of state) the guy said no but was trying to explain why and then some big manly looking female with dark hair came over and inserted herself into the convo. She was very rude and openly confrontational. She definitely needs some de-escalation training or something.

A local treasure. All the animals were carved for this carousel. They have a paint and construction area where you can see the work being performed. They also have a nice gift shop. Sometimes they have a fish that swings out and if you get the golden ring, you get a free ride. The playground and park this is located at provides a nice play day. Even the bathrooms are decorated with the carousel theme

We came for a birthday party. The room you can rent is pretty tight but you get unlimited carousel rides... for 2 hours only. Between the party, eating, gifts, singing happy birthday, carousel time leaves something to be desired. It should be all day free carousel. My friend did great for her kids' party. I just wouldn't recommend this package, it's not good enough
Tricia M — Google review
My kids and I had fun at the carousel. The employees were very nice and friendly. The have carvings on the top sides of the carousel that represent Oregon. They also have a carved Salmon that they occasionally turn out with rings in its mouth and if you grab a gold ring you get a free ride. The gift shop is really nice as well!

Ravine
Sights & Landmarks
Willamette Valley, a picturesque region known for its farm-to-fork ethos and over 500 wineries, is a prime wine-growing area famous for its Pinot Noir. The valley hosts abundant farmers markets from June through October, attracting purveyors from across central and eastern Oregon. Visitors can enjoy private vineyard tours and tastings while taking in the beautiful scenery and trails.
Went to visit this beautiful vineyard while staying in Portland for a long weekend. It was an hour drive away and we had a great time. Our private tour with Allison was awesome - she was very knowledgeable about the vineyard practices and the wines even though she had only been on week 6 or so of working there! They had some wines we really loved - the Tualatin Estate Pinot noir was delightful - and others that were just okay (we were not huge fans of the whole cluster Pinot noir). They include a cheese plate with the tour which my husband enjoyed and they put together a vegan plate for me. Overall we had a wonderful time and we really enjoyed Allison’s energy as well as the history she taught us about and the pours that kept flowing 😊

Enchanted Forest

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Temporarily Closed
Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Enchanted Forest is a well-established amusement park that offers a variety of classic rides and storybook-inspired attractions for children. The park caters primarily to younger visitors since some areas are small and require crawling. However, the pizza served at the park may not meet everyone's expectations, as it has a school-like flavor. The limited options for snacks and drinks were also noted by some visitors. Nonetheless, Enchanted Forest features several enjoyable areas such as the haunted house.
I cannot say enough good things about enchanted forest. It was just a perfect experience from beginning to end. I love the local family owned vibe and culture there depicted in the museum and names of different shops and areas etc. The staff were great everywhere we went. The food was all very affordable. It was very well kept. I love that it is actually entirely set in the forest, it’s not just the name! Wonderful even on a hot day. Everything is so thoughtfully designed. The log ride of course was amazing! My kids loved our time there and so did I. And I have to say THANK YOU for having themed clothing there that matches the theme park! I love buying shirts/sweatshirts from all the fun places we visit, and more and more these days I am disappointed at the selection. It tends to be things that are extremely gendered in ways that are not necessary or make any sense, or they just don’t look at all like the place we are at. Love the neutral actually enchanted forest branded merch and not some gimmicky stuff! We will be coming here for years to come. 😍
Hanna H — Google review
The Enchanted Forest has cast its spell on me time and time again - and even after many visits, I still find myself charmed. While the park may be showing a bit of wear these days, the whimsical magic is alive and well, especially through the eyes of a young child. Wander along shaded woodland paths that twist and turn through nursery rhyme vignettes, fairy tale hideaways, and playful surprises. Whether you're sliding down the tongue of a wicked witch or teetering inside the Crooked Man's house, it's impossible not to feel your inner child emerge for a little fun. The haunted house remains a favorite of mine-though parents beware: it delivers genuine chills that might be too intense for the tiniest adventurers. Another highlight is the rustic little western town, where I enjoyed a warm, fresh churro that hit the spot. There are a couple of small eateries scattered about offering quick, simple bites perfect for refueling mid-adventure. Rides (albeit a bit on the spendy side) range from gentle to thrilling. Ice Mountain and the Big Timber log ride will delight older kids and adults alike, while a dedicated children's section keeps the younger ones happily engaged. We visited on the first open Monday of the season and were pleasantly surprised by the lack of crowds, giving us a relaxed two-hour window to explore every nook and cranny of the park. If you're craving a nostalgic day filled with imagination, quirky charm, and woodland whimsy, the Enchanted Forest delivers. Go ahead-get ENCHANTED. You won't regret it. I wish I had taken more photos, but I was too engrossed to remember!

Took my grandson who's 12 - will be 13 in October. He had, we had...a blast! My 81 year old mother kept up with us and rode ALL the rides! Love that its right in the middle of the forest. Beautiful. Oh and the food and souvenirs are very reasonable!

Just as much fun as you remembered from when you were a kid. We went the last Saturday it was open in November. Even though lines were long and the park was busy, we were able to do everything we wanted to do. Panning for gold, the storybook trails, and the attention to detail remain the best parts of the park experience. Take your kids for a full day; you won't regret it!

I’ve lived in Oregon my whole life and Enchanted Forest is less than an hour away from me, but this was my very first time walking through the park. There is lots of walking and fun stories and fairytales to walk through. My son was sleeping before we left the parking lot. The park itself is slightly outdated but it has a rustic feel to it. It reminds me of our own little Disneyland and I love every bit of that as well! The food was delicious and the price of food was so reasonable! This place is fun for all ages.

Prices are still great for what you get out of it. The jack and the beanstalk performance in the theater was so sweet, they even selected the girl i was babysitting to go down and participate in it, and she loved it so much. She talked about it all day afterward. Now she did NOT love the log ride 😂 but she was proud of herself for doing it. Loved driving the boats in the old western town, just had such a good time. I will be bringing my kids here just like my parents did.
Lx — Google review
Absolutely strange place to be, but I love it! It’s mostly little takes on classic fantasy tales, and even though it’s pretty creepy, there is a lot to see. I highly recommend taking a visit here with the mindset to enjoy it ironically, but there are many aspects, like the western town, which I genuinely like to chill around. The food is also very good and reasonably priced for a theme park. If there’s one thing I have to truly critique, it’s access to water. Throughout my entire visit, not once did I encounter a water fountain in the park. The only way to drink water here is if you bring your own water bottle or pay for a $3 water bottle. I haven’t tried asking for a free water cup, but I highly recommend trying for yourself. Overall, this place is a great one to visit if you’re ever in the area. The entrance pricing is reasonable and ride ticket prices are alright. I highly recommend experiencing the bobsled coaster, log flume, haunted house, and Challenge of Mondor shooting dark ride.

The history of this Man and his family, what they have built and continue to run is unbelievably unique and fantastic!

The gift shop is great, there are so many thing yo get from chocolate to wine candles to apparel to wine drinking essentials. The inside of the main building is pretty, there is a piano for music, bar fire pit, and plenty of seating up/downstairs. The patio is really nice with umbrellas at each table and pretty landscaping, lots of greenery and flowers. It was very peaceful and enjoyable.

Did a private tour and tasting with Josh Gil. He was AMAZING!! He was sooooo knowledgeable, personable, kind, and patient. He showed us all working parts of the winery and it was during harvest season. The story of how the winery came to be with Mr. Burneau and his dad being trailblazers for not only winery owners but for entrepreneurs and small business owners in Oregon was simply amazing! The hustle that Mr. Burneau showed was amazing. Going door to door and finding his own investors was so inspiring. Josh was so knowledgeable about all of this. This was such a treat to get to know and learn about from Josh. Go and take the tour from Josh and then book a table at the dining area after. Oh, and join the wine club and take home some bottles too 😁😁

We were all impressed with the Natalie’s professionalism, knowledge, warmth and humor… and yes, generous pours. Salud!

We were there an hour before the last call so we felt rushed. We were here from Denver with our daughter for her birthday. We did not know they closed so early. So check before you go. The wine was pretty good. We got several flights and several bottles. We would have loved to have spent more time and money. Maybe on our next "flight".

Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Silver Falls State Park is Oregon's largest state park and offers a variety of outdoor activities including camping, swimming, picnicking, cycling, and horseback riding. The main attraction is the Trail of Ten Falls Loop which is an easy 8-mile loop that leads visitors through a basalt canyon filled with thick forests teeming with ferns, mosses and wildflowers. This serene park features ten waterfalls along the dog-friendly trail, as well as campsites and cabins for overnight stays.
Silver Falls is a delightful day trip from Salem, Lebanon, and Portland. There are multiple falls to see. There are hiking trails around the canyon and more to the east allowing access to horses and mountain bikes. The park is large enough that is does not seem crowded. The park is gorgeous and being able to walk behind falls is magnificent. We saw dozens of crawdads in the stream by the Upper North Falls. Several areas are steep, but the experience is worth it.

First time at the Silver Falls State Park and I'm definitely going back. This park is huge and filled with waterfalls. And the hiking paths are well defined and well maintained. You do pay for parking but once you start your hike you will understand why. Bring a water bottle I originally was going to hike 2 miles I ended up doing 6 miles. Totally worth it.

Silver Falls State Park is an absolute treasure for anyone who loves the outdoors. 🌲✨ The hiking trails are beautifully maintained and filled with jaw-dropping scenery at every turn. The famous Trail of Ten Falls lives up to its name — each waterfall is uniquely stunning, from the thundering South Falls to the peaceful smaller cascades tucked deep in the forest. What makes it extra special is that you can actually walk behind several of the waterfalls, which gives the whole hike a magical, immersive feel. The mist, the lush green moss, and the sound of rushing water make it feel like you’ve stepped into another world. Whether you’re an avid hiker or just looking for a peaceful nature escape, Silver Falls is unforgettable. Bring a camera, good shoes, bear spray and plenty of time — you’ll want to soak in every moment.

An absolute gem that needs to be reserved until the end of time. We went in late October to see the colors and it was amazing. Wind storm was coming in and they were promptly working to clear the roads. The rain and wind gave us the chance to have south falls to ourselves and we captured some amazing images. Truly breathtaking scenery. Only my second visit and there is never enough time. South falls is definitely the prime waterfall experience any traveler could be seeking.

Need to level up your intake of fresh, clean O2? Take a hike along 7+ miles of Silver Creek trails while traversing heavily timbered and fern-lined canyons along 10 different waterfalls, four of which you can walk behind. Return and enjoy the Cafe at South Falls Lodge and the Nature Gift Store. $10 day park fee, camping, cabin resort with restaurant (w/beer/wine). Enjoy

Over 50 hand-carved animals on an antique mechanism, plus exhibits of historic carousel artefacts.
What an amazing place for kids. The craftsmanship on the whole carousel is so beautiful and whimsical. The staff is super nice and friendly. This is a great place to take your kids. They also do birthday party's an its fairly inexpensive. They also have a tour on the history of the carousel. Overall, such a great experience for the kids.

The Albany Carousel is such a great concept and a perfect fit for downtown Albany. The building is beautiful, well-maintained, and the carousel itself is a joy to ride. My kids absolutely love it, and the party rooms are spacious and well laid out for birthdays or other events. That said, my biggest issue — and the reason for the low rating — comes from repeated negative experiences with the carousel volunteers. Many of them are older and, frankly, don’t seem to have much patience or warmth when dealing with young kids. Out of the dozen or so times we’ve visited, we’ve consistently felt unwelcome or even scolded over very minor things that are just part of being around excited little ones. It’s a carousel — naturally it attracts families with small children — so I’d expect more understanding and kindness from those interacting directly with them. On the other hand, the paid staff (especially those managing party room reservations and customer service) have always been polite, helpful, and welcoming. No complaints there at all. I’ll also say the party room rental prices feel steep — $200–$300 for just a couple of hours, especially with very few added perks, feels excessive. We’d absolutely use the space more often if it were more affordable, because our kids love the place. But between the pricing and the attitude of some of the volunteers, it’s hard to fully recommend the experience.

This is a community project to bring people downtown. One of a kind carousel museum with lot of history from a family that brought carousels to America.

This is a beautiful, handsome carved, carosel to visit. It features many varieties of animals and a ring grabber. If you sit on the outside. stationary, animals you can grab a few rings as you go by. If you get a brass ring you get a free ride! The music is nice although I was hoping for live carosel music, rather than prerecorded. I thought, with the historic feature of the carosel, they would have a great vintage pipe organ to go with it. The animals are each masterpieces with many detailed carvings on each of them. There is a small ice area offering delicious, hand scooped, ice cream as well as a variety of beverages and fresh popcorn. I was not able to go downstairs im the museum area since we were running short on time and the careers were not carving at the time. The small museum offers a great history on the carosel itself and you can watch as the artists hand carve and paint the amazing ride animals.

The Albany Historic Carousel & Museum is one of the best hidden gems in Oregon. It’s a beautifully restored, hand-carved carousel that kids (and adults!) absolutely love. Every animal on the ride is different—horses, dragons, giraffes, even a baby elephant—and each one is a work of art. The place is very family-friendly and affordable. Entry is free, and you just buy coins to ride. Pro tip: Go on Wednesdays between 3–4pm for Happy Hour—coins are 50% off, so just $1 each! That’s a great deal, especially if you have kids who want to ride again and again. One of the most fun parts? While the carousel spins, riders try to grab a ring from a dispenser. Most are plastic, but if you’re lucky and get the metal ring, you win a free ride! Plus, everyone gets a free ride on the very last ride of the day, which is a sweet touch. There’s also a small museum inside, a window where you can watch volunteers carving new animals, and a gift shop with cute, local souvenirs. Staff and volunteers are super friendly and clearly love what they do. Tips for visiting: • Go on Wednesday 3–4pm for half-price ride coins • Let the kids try to grab the ring—metal ring = free ride! • Stick around for the last ride of the day, it’s free • Great for birthdays, rainy day fun, or out-of-town guests • Check out the carving studio—it’s really cool to see the animals being made This is a fun, wholesome place the whole family will enjoy. Highly recommend for a day trip or stop if you’re anywhere near Albany!

Our second visit to the museum. Visiting the area from California. The little ones love riding the Carousel, choosing a different animal each time. We visited the workshop the first visit but not this time, because of the young ones we had with us. Stopped by the gift shop and had lunch at the snack bar. Definitely a place to check out when I the area.

Oregon State University

Mentioned on 
+7 other lists 
Public university
Sights & Landmarks
Oregon State University, situated in Corvallis, Oregon, is a renowned public research university with a rich history dating back to 1868. Initially established as an agricultural college, it has evolved into a top-tier institution offering over 200 undergraduate and graduate programs. The campus attracts students from across the globe and boasts strong engineering, forestry, and agriculture programs. Visitors can explore the university's facilities through self-guided tours while enjoying the charming college-town atmosphere of Corvallis.
Oregon State University is everything UC Davis pretends to be but fails at. At OSU, the focus is on actual education, innovation, and building skills that employers value. Professors are approachable, research is meaningful and accessible, and the environment is collaborative without being fake. The culture here supports thinkers, builders, and doers — not just social climbers and box-checkers. There’s space for individuality and excellence, and they don’t punish you for not conforming to some unspoken political script like they do at UC Davis. Let’s be real: UC Davis is all branding, no substance. The tuition is inflated, the bureaucracy is thick, and you’ll spend more time figuring out how to “navigate the system” than you will actually learning. Unless you're in a niche STEM field with a connected advisor, the school does little to support your long-term career — and even then, you’re often stuck in oversaturated programs with limited mentorship. Worse, the whole place thrives on fake niceness — surface-level harmony where everyone smiles while undermining each other behind the scenes. Smart, independent students often get sidelined, while the loudest or most conformist get promoted. It’s exhausting and disheartening. And the ROI? A joke. People graduate from UC Davis buried in debt, underprepared for real-world work, and with no professional network unless they already had one going in. OSU, on the other hand, gives you better value, better access, and a better launchpad — with none of the UC attitude. If you want real education, go to Oregon State. If you want stress, debt, and disappointment wrapped in a leafy campus and a shiny brochure, UC Davis is waiting.

This University is incredibly unprofessional and points the finger to way too many different departments. I would like to specify that "Student Account Services" is by far the most unprofessional, unclear and difficult department I have dealt with in higher education as ECampus student. The supervisor whom I don't even recall their name was incredibly rude, told me I was incorrect and that my benefit (Guild) was the one incorrect with billing. Impossible to speak to an advisor and the worst UI I've ever dealt with.. causing me to be unable to drop Summer classes for a Fall registration hold and now I have to appeal 3 departments for financial aid, it is unfathomable. While this is rated the 4th best college for online learning! Just get a certification people - there's no shock less and less people want to attend college.

Nature & Wildlife Areas
William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge is a wetland habitat that offers hiking and animal-watching opportunities. During the winter, interior areas are closed to allow Canada geese to thrive. The roads around the refuge may be dusty but they are well-maintained and there are places for visitors to pull over.
I love this refuge!! There are so many great trail options & you will almost always see some wildlife when you come through. There are bathrooms but very limited in the park, not all trailheads will have one so keep it in mind. All trails are pretty easy, none crazy challenging.

A bird watcher's paradise honestly, and it's huge! A must visit in Oregon if you appreciate birds. I saw tundra swans, wild turkeys, raptor birds, cormorants, a heron, ducks, and more all in one day. There were also spots with viewing scopes to better see the waterfowl.

Great place for wildlife photography, I especially enjoyed the woodpecker loop trail.
James T — Google review
Absolutely stunning views and so much wildlife. I especially enjoyed seeing the egrets and wooly bears. I would definitely classify the paths as more of nature walks instead of hikes, and therefore very easy to navigate with little to no hills. ***If you're visiting the reserve in autumn, be sure to take extra caution and watch your step for uneven ground on the trails that might be covered by leaves.
B — Google review
This place is so cool! I came here to "watch" the eclipse; I caught a glimpse for about 2 seconds! Darn weather. But afterwards, I stayed in the refuge to check it out. I walked the Campell Marsh/Hoffman loop and enjoyed it! The boardwalks are in really good condition. I also visited the little store they've got and it was so cute! The whole area around it was recently renovated and is a great hub (with flush toilets!). Lastly, I did the Woodpecker Loop hike and was glad I did: short, simple, but quite the looker! I look forward to visiting here a lot more in the future.

We came into the refuge from the northeast on the road that Waze directed us to. Finley road. Stopped an got a map, near a pond that I can't remember the name of, but that pond wasn't on the map. The map was kind of confusing. We finally found something that was on the map and at the other end of the refuge, I believe the Southeast side, we were able to see a few areas on the map. Anyway, not a lot of wildlife to see, we saw a snake, some turkey's with babies and wood ducks with babies, a great egret and heard lots of birds but couldn't see them. The boardwalk need some love. Some rails are rotting and some loose boards here and there. Otherwise, it was a nice day trip.

Really cool place! Saw a lot of birds out and about. Also a good place to go herping! They've recently updated a bunch of the boardwalks and trails, so definitely come check it out if you haven't taken the chance yet.

Waterfalls
Great place to go for a hike, no parking fees. It wasn't easy but it's not the hardest either, I was in a group with a bunch of kids and they all managed it and had fun as well. There are toilets at the parking lot and some stairs on the route. The stairs might be a bit steep for some but generally, the elevation is gradual. Beautiful waterfalls, loved it.
Chioma N — Google review
Multiple trails, a few different waterfalls, a few bridges. None of the trails we encountered were marked very well as to which one you’re on and we didn’t see any wooden plaques that explain which directions to go for which falls. There was one sign. I just mean it’s not very informative. We hike often at various places and some trails provide these, some don’t. We didn’t see any “map” to explain where each falls are. We had to Google ahead of time as there is minimal to zero cell service here. In the summer we like to “hike” up the creek once we’ve hiked from the top area down. The falls are beautiful. More robust in early fall through mid spring. The last two summers with heat made the falls much smaller. But still worth experiencing.

Very pretty area. At least 4 different waterfalls along the trails. Good for exercise uphills and stairs as well as flat. Be careful in the wet season the stairs and bridges are slippery.
T L — Google review
Who knew we had such a jewel nearby! We explored the entire place and what I liked about it from a park layout perspective is how accommodating it is for different types of visitors. You can choose your own adventure and distance, but even then, if you miscalculate your abilities, there is always a chance to change the itinerary and come out a winner. The park offers multiple picturesque views of hidden waterfalls along the hike from different angles and perspectives. Whether you are the type of person who likes to feel the waterfall breathing in your face or a different type who likes to absorb the natural beauty from afar and safety of the wooden platforms with railings - you got it. Dog lovers, I have a special note for you: keep your friends on leash and controlled. Many park visitors bring their dogs and if yours is more aggressive than others, keep in mind that there are many narrow passages that will make you regret bringing your pup along. Save yourself trouble if your pup can't handle other dogs. Kids will love this place, the hikes are interesting and have frequent changes and interesting interruptions for them to enjoy. Many picnic tables at the beginning of the trails to enjoy family celebration or a lunch break. There are several areas where you can get wet if desired so and even swim ops if you are the type that can tolerate the cold temperature of the water.
Roman K — Google review
Such a pretty place! One of our favorites hikes we’ve been on because you can choose where to start, and go in different directions. There are also a ton of little paths to take to add time to the hike, get closer to the water, etc. The falls weren’t super strong of course because it’s the end of summer but it was a beautiful place no matter what! I will say the steps can be a bit steep so can be harder for some people. And on some of the paths there are trees fallen in the path that are about mid thigh that could be harder to navigate. So fun tho!!

Wonderful ladies who work here- they are very knowledgeable about the history of Linn County and the museum is so fun!

The museum is a fantastic place to learn local history for the Mid-Willamette Valley. The volunteers are knowledgeable, dedicated, and kind. The artifacts are fascinating. Take a walk past the Halsey Bank or study a map of the indigenous Calapooia prehistoric mounds. You can even watch Stand By Me in the little theater!
Melody N — Google review
This museum packs a huge punch into a relatively small space. Located in the railroad depot building dating back to the late 19th century, a large portion of the museum is in train cars - including the theater. Dress up in authentic pioneer clothing and take a picture with the actual covered wagon the Drinkard family used to cross the frontier in 1865 - one of only 3 known actual Oregon Trail wagons still in existence. They also have extensive artifacts from the pioneer days - blacksmithing equipment, and replica General store, doctors office, bank, and more. You'll even see hair art! 🫨 You have to see it to believe it! The volunteers are very kind and knowledgeable. Admission is free - they accept donations (and I highly suggest supporting them!) but they will not ask you to donate.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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. Jack gave us a tour of their production facility and was also very knowledgeable about wine making. Wish we could have enjoyed their outdoor seating but it was raining.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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.
Jamie J — Google review
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
