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.

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.

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!

We had our tasting with Elliot yesterday & we really enjoyed it. He was really knowledgeable about the wine, fun & great to talk to. Ask the wines we tasted were delicious! And the tasting room is an architectural art! Will definitively come back.

Awesome experience. Chris was very knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and was extremely helpful and assisting me to select the right wines. Happy I became a member.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 😃

Always an amazing time walking through the aviation and space history! The volunteers are kind and interestes! They are knowledgeable and want to share stories! Such an amazing place and I hope that the nearby hotel will bring even more people to the museums!

Most amazing experience. So much fun, many machines to choose from! I won a nice amount of money! Stayed in the hotel as well. Very nice rooms, although the front desk service was not friendly, at check in or check out! The dining restaurant has very delicious food, good pricing and plenty of seating a available. Overall, this was a very good experience. I will definitely return in the future

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.

Had a great night at the casino! The SeaFest Buffett was underrated. Crab was delicious!! Spendy, but worth it all.

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...

Wonderful experience here. Good vibe and stylish design of casino floor. Sports watch/bet section is cool, can just be a little loud if people are top golfing. Great food options and all the employees were terrific! Look forward to staying in the hotel at some point.

Went for my 21st had a blast stayed at the hotel it's was an okay room found toenails on the floor looked like they didn't even vacuum and definitely going again to the casino.

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.

This is a fantastic outlet with a huge selection of stores and a wide variety of brands—you can find just about anything you’re looking for! The products are great, and the prices are even better. It’s easy to navigate, with convenient access to restrooms and plenty of food options, including Jamba Juice for a quick refresh. There are lots of places to sit and relax when you need a break from shopping. The parking is spacious and easy, and the overall environment is clean, welcoming, and enjoyable. A great place for a day of shopping!

It's not a massive outlet, but it's a decent-sized premium outlet located between Salem and Portland. Whenever visit either city, I always stop by here for shopping. I like that they have kitchenware brands and it's a useful place because can find sports brand items at incredible prices.

Woodburn Premium Outlets is a great place to shop and dine. They have a wide variety of stores and brands to choose from, including Banana Republic, GAP, Coach, Eddie Bauer, Bobadochi, and Disney Store. Had a great time here.

This premium outlet location exceeded all my expectations! This place is a shopper's paradise with a fantastic selection of popular brands at discounted prices. The outdoor area is spacious and well-designed, providing a pleasant environment to shop and dine. What impressed me the most was the large free parking space available, complete with roving security ensuring a safe shopping experience. Whether you arrive by public transport or private vehicle, this location is easily accessible. The well-maintained and sanitary washrooms strategically placed around the shopping complex were a thoughtful touch. It's clear that customer comfort and convenience are top priorities here. Despite being a popular spot, the area was bustling but not overwhelming thanks to the ample space that accommodated everyone without any issues. This truly is a one-stop shop for anyone looking to make the most of their hard-earned cash. I highly recommend this location for a satisfying shopping experience. Don't miss out on the great deals and wonderful atmosphere this place has to offer!

The Woodburn Outlets was such a cute place. It was clean and well maintained. There were inviting stores and friendly shop people. The store that stood out to me was Just Cozy. The shop keeper John was great. Friendly conversation and not just to make a sale. He really cared about customer service and the customer experience. I would definitely check out the store and mall again for sure!!

We visit for a day of shopping every year when we come to Oregon coast for vacation. Love the Kate Spade store here and the Puma Outlet. The employee's are always friendly and helpful. We buy all my teenage sons shoes at the Puma outlet and my husband's shoes at the New Balance store. I love this outlet mall!!! We always get great things at wonderful prices.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Nick is lovely! Such an amazing bartender!! I can’t recommend more 😊 Worth his weight in gold can’t recommend more. I love Pinot and he had all the best recommendations

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!

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!

have been enjoying their wines for a long time now. finally stopped by here for a tasting of some of their other offerings. fantastic time with nick today. he knows his stuff and turned us on to an amazing merlot which of course we bought a bottle of. definitely going back again sooner than later.

Lovely tasting room. Nick gave us a great rundown of the Eola story and local wine scene. Loved their Barrel Reserve Pinot! Koi pond was an unexpected surprise. Took home the Pinot and a couple of cool tshirts.

Cute little winery with excellent wines at good prices! Even snuck off with one of their membership fliers because I need these in my life regularly! Special shout out to Mary who took excellent care of us and is the only other person I know that gets migraines from apples! (Now you have written proof!)

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.

Have lived in Oregon for many years and never been! It was well worth the visit, and a great couple's or family outing. Staff were very friendly. Shout out to Doug O, and the relaxing tram ride. Would definitely consider a membership to enjoy more of the seasons.

Gorgeous! Went for fun, forgot there was a Frank Lloyd Wright house right there! Such a fun day. Great walking area. Lots of benches, lots of shade, minimal inclines. Looks like a great venue, the grounds are so nice!

First time visit. Was better than we expected. Very well laid out, so was ready to walk the whole garden. Tons of great things to see. Very relaxing. Definitely will return.

beautiful views and various gardens. takes a few hours to walk the loops. there is also a tram that runs every 30 minutes that will touch the major sections of the park.

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.

It is a very nice place to visit and wander around. I wish I could revisit this place with my fuel cell car, which could be refueled in 5 min for 400 mile driving range without straining the grid. #hydrogen #fuelcell

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

Looking for my friend David, but he wasn't there. Rode a horse, RAZZLE-DAZZLE. A token is 2$. Lot of Kids of all ages.

What a great place to enjoy a carousel - great condition and very nice gift shop. At the heart of a wonderful park along the Willamette river. Could easily bring the kiddos and make a full day of it!

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

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!

Lots of shopping and great food ! Lots of cool spots to eat out at. Nice weather in the summer.

Amazing wines, big bold reds too. Southern hospitality. Real crystal glasses, complimentary cheese boards. McMinnville is a artsy, delicious restaurant and boutique town. The top of the old bank building, now a bar and b and b has the most stunning 360 views. Treat yourself to class, relaxed ambiance.

Lush farming Valley between the Coastal and Cascade Ranges in Oregon. Very close to the beach and the mountains.

Gorgeous place with all kinds of views!

This place is incredible for wine. All of the wines are great! A lot of places waive the tasting fee if you buy some wine.

Amazing assortment of wineries with wonderful people.

Best place to live and work!

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.

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! Kids and Adults alike..the remote boats..the hidden cave that brings out from underground, to the exceptionally priced food options! The water show the musical.performers..the free yes FREE THINGS to enjoy and look at and stroll along!! Ive been coming here since early 70's brought my kids and now my Grandkids!!

I come here often and have been a part of the ownership club for years. Nowhere have I found a more perfect alignment of price, enticing food, entrancing views, and friendly company. I have met a string of people that work here, most recently Alex, and can say I'm constantly impressed by the way they make us comfortable and interested. I could not give a better recommendation for quality dining than here.

Great location with beautiful views. Baby friendly. Great food pairing options and wine options. 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. Recommend coming here, I usually go to the tasting rooms in Vancouver and Clackamas. Super glad I made the drive. Next stop Domaine Willamette!

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 😁😁

What an unbelievable experience. We went to the stomp the grapes event. Such a great atmosphere and fun event. And it helps that the wine tastings were phenomenal. Bought some bottles to take home. The staff were fantastic. A big shout out to Josh Gil one of the ambassadors. His tour and information was exceptional. Outside being a Lions fan, he was great. Def coming to visit again soon and enjoy more wine.

This place is amazing with gorgeous views. We had the best tour guide, Quinn, who made the experience even better by taking us down into the grapes and personalizing our tour to our family’s needs (taste preferences and gluten free needs). Thank you!

Our party of four, coming from Eugene and Portland, met halfway at WVV for a tour yesterday. It turned out to be a wet and windy day but Natalie O’Brien, our Winery Ambassador, created a most sunny atmosphere for our tour. She is an absolute gem! We loved hanging out with her and learning about the history and craft of winemaking at Willamette Valley Vineyards. 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".

Beautiful place! I like the hiking trails and lodge and nature gift shop. There’s a lot of waterfalls to see and lots miles of hiking available. Beautiful year-round. I like the winter best for the ice blast look from the waterfalls. Fall is wonderful as well.

This is a magnificent state park. With a variety of trails and plenty to see, this is a destination for the entire family. Whether it’s rainy or sunny the trails are perfect for an outing of any length. They are bathrooms in the park is clean and well-maintained. Parking can be a little tough so be patient.

beautiful and not a super rigerous trail, although it does go on for quite a while. So many trails to go down and a very cute cafe at the start was nice. Definitely plan to come again with some friends!

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

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. They teach wood carving and each creature is one of a kind hand carved creation. The people are all volunteers and love what they do with passion. Entryis free and delightful. This is n attra tion not to be missed.

Super fun for kids of all ages! The volunteers really make The experience special! Our grandkids loved it, pro tip: take the tour downstairs!

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.

Loved the carousel! Found the tour very informative. The craftsmanship and detail that went into building the carousel figures was incredible. Strongly recommend visiting.

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.

My wife and I came here for lunch—it was quiet with plenty of shade from the trees. Lots of green space to relax. Very enjoyable. I hope to come back soon.

Awesome campus! Old world charm , walkable and even easy parking. Well integrated into the city. Common area buildings were immaculate and well maintained. Everyone we met was relaxed and enjoyed being there.

Beautiful campus and everything within a good range for students to handle their affairs.

Beautiful campus. Amazing people. I would highly recommend for engineering or any other major.

Rec center is awesome. Athletic programs are reasonably priced. Campus is wide open and easy to manage. Student store is nice too

It was a great visit, clean, accommodating, and easy to walk around.

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.

Wonderful area with plenty of trails, plants, and flowers to see. Also, birds!

Great place for wildlife photography, I especially enjoyed the woodpecker loop trail.

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.

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.

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.

I come to McDowell Creek Falls to shoot photography often and it never disappoints. The areas are always clean and the people that High care are always extremely friendly. Not to mention it’s one of the most beautiful places to photograph!!

Such a beautiful place to explore and hike! A wonderful place to take your puppy for a walk too! There are lots of stairs and inclines/declines, so be prepared to work up a little bit of a sweat

This was a pretty sweet trail with beautiful falls and trails. The trail isn't well marked so I ended up a bit confused like most others I ran across. I recommend downloading the offline rout prior to the journey through the woods.

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.

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.

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!!

The museum looks deceptively small from the outside and has amazing displays, artifacts and a great gift shop within. The Moyer House tour is guided and the staff and docent were super friendly and knowledgable. The best thing happening in Brownsville!

Wonderful ladies who work here- they are very knowledgeable about the history of Linn County and the museum is so fun! I love the interactive exhibits like loading an Oregon trail wagon or dressing up like the people from the time! I also really liked their caboose exhibit. I think having the boxcars included in the layout of the museum is clever and unique, and the sweatshirt I got was both affordable and super comfortable!

Great little museum packed full of historical items from the area. Loved the way the diaromas (dentist office, doctors office, dressmaker, beauty salon, blacksmith, etc). And of course information about the filming of "Stand By Me." I will certainly visit again. Thanks for a lovely few hours in Brownsville.

I personally enjoyed the small, old fashion theater set up. We got to pick out our desired VHS to watch from an array of choices. Mouse Hunt was our choice. Lots of history to look at. Free admission, though donations are encouraged to keep them up and running.

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!

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.

Starzjeepcrew always stops once a year for Stand by me weekend or as tradition self guided tour with friends if we can't make it that weekend. This museum is the most informative in oregon.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I am not from this area. I thought this was wonderful! There was so many venders. Plenty of bathrooms. So many friendly people!! And the produce was beautiful. Highly recommend if you live there or if you’re just visiting!

A must go-to experience in Eugene. So many artists in one place and none of it is resell. It's all made by the artisan that is selling. Plus live music and good food. It's also right next to the Farmer's market and the Free Speech Plaza where there is the drum circle and people sell stuff too. So there's lots to do in one place.

We love this event because there are so many exciting booths with truly talented artists and the people-watching is so much fun too. We love the live music and the beautiful fountain as well. Been coming here for years when we are in town.

Eugene Saturday Market is like a farmers market, art fair, and block party had a baby. Great food, cool people, and the best people-watching in town.

It just feels so Eugene. L love it after all of these years

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

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

So far mystery fees, and hiding what rooms look like till the day you move into a 8x10 brick closet hasnt been an enjoyable experience. The amount of money they spent on campus silverware and player facilities does not translate to dorm room size. They hid the size of the rooms for sure to move-in day. Boo ducks.

This place has been a part of my life from beginning to end. My Dad was Premed. He and my Mom lived in the Married Student Housing on Agate St. Where I lived after I was born into this world. Over the years family and friends, acquaintances, Marlboro Men and Martians have attended this august, wet, center of learnin' and THE ARTS. After having traveled the country and sundry other back roads - Here I Am. Again. I live a block from The Pioneer Cemetery. So, Campus.

This is a phenomenal campus. Taking our daughter to her #1 pick and accepted school 🫨🎉. The orientation was incredibly well done and went smoothly and was incredibly informative.

Beautiful campus, especially in the spring when the rain and the overcast skies make the colors explode with vibrancy. There are so many buildings to explore, but even if you stay outside the whole time, you won’t be disappointed.

The campus is fabulous featuring exciting architecture, green spaces and art. It is being sproued up and readied for a 2022 World Athletic Games. Hayward Field is completed and ready to wow the worlds athletes and Autzen Stadium mega board is complete The Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact first phase is completed and phase 2 construction has started Exciting times on the campus.

This School has many wonderful qualities including an amazing football team and a beautiful campus. I implore anyone who is thinking of coming to UO to walk the entire campus and go to some of the amazing close by off campus places to eat and hang out.

Always a great day spending time at the University of Oregon. Autzen pretty much the only venue that needs more major upgrades. Remember to take lot's of extra money, expect any purchases to empty the wallet. Go DUCKS!

One of the BEST track and field facilities in the country. Phenomenal for competing and spectating. It's really easy to find housing nearby. I mean tracktown, who doesn't like it? It's iconic

A true living monument to the greatest sport. A stadium that loves its athletes and its fans. The seats in all the sections were cushioned, not a bad seat in the whole stadium. The screens had incredible colors, and the entire space was so ergonomic.

Beautiful and breathtaking to be here!!! Seats are comfy, plenty of bathrooms, and there are water bottle refill stations. Bring your sun screen, but there are shady areas too.

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

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

Its such an iconic place. So Inspiring to know that so many great athletes have been there. Seeing the grounds was cool.

No doubt, this is the very best track venue in the country. The Prefontaine Classic is world class...with two world records to see this year. A must see place and venue.

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

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

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

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

So excited to try the wine & experience the views & atmosphere we had heard so much about. We were on a family vacation, my husband, daughter, son in law & granddaughter drove up to Kings Estate & unfortunately didn't get to try the wine. We weren't greeted with a Welcome or smile, but told in the entry way to wait for a gentleman who would take us to the patio for tastings. We waited quite a while, the Gentleman came in asked what we wanted, left to go back to patio. After another hefty wait we decided to leave. Wow, rather disappointed when visiting from another state & all we received was scowls & frowns. Went down the road to Sweet Cheeks Winery!....It was phenomenal!

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.

They were informative, nice and eager to help. They've done a lot of good work.

I wish it was a little bigger the downtown

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!

Such a beautiful place. And GREAT hospitality! Loved the wines and the food. (They don't post their menu, so be sure to ask!) We stayed two nights in the spacious Carriage House, where you are serenaded by sheep in the evening. We will be back!

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!

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 .

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!

Visited as part of the Umpqua Wine harvest tour. I wish I had been able to enjoy this winery a little bit better. It was quite busy this day and unfortunately only sampled one wine.

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.

Highly recommend reading the fascinating history of how they found this location for growing grapes from Spain!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Wow! Our team was Adam, Abby, Mike & Tim. Great crew! Very accommodating, sharing tips & history, and great cooks. I would definitely do this trip again. They made our visit to The Rogue River unforgettable.

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

What an amazing trip down the Rogue River (Wild and Scenic) The guides, Soren, Rip & Maynard were exceptional. I cannot put into words how much they made this trip memorable. The food was outstanding. The help they provided for my blind wife was above and beyond great service.

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!

Highly recommend Morrison’s! Staff members were super fun, knowledgeable, and professional. Our guide Dan took great care of us and made sure we had a great time. We felt safe the whole trip. Our experience rafting the Rogue is now a core memory; not to mention the incredible food and hospitality!

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.

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

Just did a 3-day lodge trip! It was so amazing! Stayed at Black Bar Lodge & Paradise Lodge. Both were great and the food was awesome! The guides with OTT are very experienced and a lot of fun! I highly recommend this trip and can’t wait to do it again next year!

Had a great half day trip doing Nugget Falls. Now we can’t wait to do more rafting! Plus it sparked our interest in returning to kayak the Rogue. Highly recommend the tour company. Friendly folks at every stage. Great guide. He made the trip feel easy and there was some crazy water to navigate. Tons of fun.

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

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

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

Well what can say, but Wow! Our trip was phenomenal but we couldn’t do it without our amazing guides. Becka, Hayden, and JP did an outstanding job from cooking, story telling, and sharing adventures with us. This amazing people were humble and caring. There service was beyond words they all showed amazing care and delight. We will sure be back :) Becka - Caring adventurous leader Hayden- Wild, Joyful, determined JP- Humble, Wisdom, Funny
