We booked A Scottish Play for my 2 daughter's birthdays and they had a blast! Mattie was our host and was so much fun or as they called her "The Lady in the Walls" everything in this escape room was so well thought out and so much fun. The kids are still talking about it and now they can't wait for you guys to come up with another room! Escape Ashland definitely does not disappoint. And they are sooooo accommodating! Would highly recommend.
3. Mount Ashland
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 81 reviews
A small but challenging ski area with some steep terrain serviced by four chairlifts.

Mt Ashland is best known for its skiing, but we love it for walking. It's especially wonderful in spring and early summer, when wildflowers plaster the slopes and meadows on the approach to the summit. It takes around an hour's walking to reach the craggy butte at the top, and is well worth the effort. Unless you want to hike all day from bottom to top, be prepared to drive around 8 miles of twisty road to the ski lodge area, or beyond, where you can park and begin a less ambitious but still rewarding walk. On a clear day, views of Mount Shasta, Pilot Rock, Mt.McLoughlin and other mountains in the far north give you a "top of the world" feeling.
4. Lithia Park

Lithia Park is a jewel in the heart of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival plaza and lovely homes in downtown Ashland, OR. During my recent visit, I took advantage of the cool and breezy summer air - before the temperature reached the mid 90's - venturing on a short morning stroll through the meandering park capturing scenic photo opportunities while greeting joggers, exercisers and travelers along the way. I even took a sip from the nearby and historic lithia mineral spring water fountain...ooh, taste the sulfur. There are great public spaces for picnics, family gatherings, playgrounds, fountains, gardens, foliage/trees, outdoor theater-type performances, tennis courts, and bridges over water ways. My only regret is that I did not allow enough time to take in all of the beauty of this not to be missed park spaces...next time.

If you’re in southern Oregon and have little ones, you don’t want to miss this museum. The kids are immediately engaged with each feature around the museum. To my fellow adults: you won’t be bored or disappointed.
