This amusement park is built into a hillside in the middle of the beautiful nature of the Oregon forests with natural trees, foilage such as huge ferns, and many other natural greenery. The entrance is lovely as you pass through the castle and the price doesn't break the bank! Located 7 miles from Salem, it is a wondrous place to visit. Very pure and clean and green. Activities for every age, including hiking up and down paved paths right through the forest, tunnels to crawl through, carnival rides including the Bob Sled that is heart stopping. The western town is a blast, and the water show inside is colorful, with peaceful music to listen to as the show goes on and on in the dark room. You can even order pizza to eat while watching the show. The Irish band that plays inside a building makes one feel like they are in and Irish Pub! Children are welcome everywhere in this park! The singers in the band, the harp player is wonderful, and the dancing is inspiring!! This place is an entire day of fun and excitement for every age not just kids. The outdoor plays are a must see, and the haunted house is amazing. If you are going through Salem be sure to make time to stay a day and have more fun than you have ever had!!

This is such an amazing place for kids. We took our three kids there for one of their birthdays. We all had so much fun. It was a little pricy but for being there all day it really wasn’t bad.

This little amusement park is really fun. It’s small but that makes it very manageable for a family outing. There’s a good assortment of rides for young children, but also some bigger, scarier rides for the older kids and adults. My daughter and I took four kids on a 2-for-1 Tuesday, which is an amazing bargain; $10 for a bracelet that lets the kids on every ride except one, plus BOGO hot dogs and corn dogs. The games are pretty expensive, but everybody wins something. And parking is free. Lots of fun!

One of the most unique tourist attractions on the Oregon Coast, the Prehistoric Gardens is great for young and old alike. Just 17 miles north of Gold Beach lies an untouched prehistoric garden complete with 23 life size dinosaurs set among a lush 300 year old Oregon rainforest. The self-guided tour allows you to casually stroll along the path and discover what the Earth was like millions of years ago. Family owned and operated since 1955, this eco-friendly attraction is a must see! Pet-Friendly! Dogs are allowed to take the tour for FREE as long as they are on a leash.

The Prehistoric Gardens are a hidden treasure to be enjoyed by adults and children alike, They have recreated life size dinosaurs in their natural surroundings amazingly well. It's a super interesting tour. We loved it. Check out the gift shop afterwards and chat with the owner who is a lovely lady and very knowledgeable on all things dinosaur! Do not miss it.

We visited on Labor Day weekend. It was crowded, but due to COVID, less crowded than a typical holiday weekend. We did the Alpine Slide, the zip lines -- and in a first for my wife and I, the bungee jump. It was a little scary, but exciting.

I hate swimming pools and water parks but this one is a lot of fun. Fairly clean, uncrowded, and well worth a visit. Visited on April 3 with a steep discount thanks to Groupon. The 9 and 12 year olds in our party had a blast running themselves ragged climbing 9 flights of stairs over and over to ride four rides which originate in the belly of a Boeing 747. Wear your Fitbit for a big surprise at the end of the day, even I climbed over 70 flights of stairs according to mine!
