SALEM'S RIVERFRONT CAROUSEL REVIEWS

It's a great fun activity for the family, especially the little kids. The carousel was $2 per person per ride, but if you have a toddler, parents ride free. Must be 42" tall to ride alone. There's a gift shoppe attached to it.

It's exactly what it says it is. Mostly for adults with children but we went there to see the hand carved animals on the carousel beautiful carvings a must-see to enjoy.

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.

WINGS & WAVES WATERPARK REVIEWS

This place is so amazing!! Plan on spending the day here!! Halfs day water park, then visit the museums, and playgrounds and real airplanes out sides. The water park has lockers showers, food courts private cabana rentals. The Slides were fun, they even have a VR option.

The staff is very friendly, diligent in safety and very organized. The facility is kept clean and offers ample resources to provide a fun filled day. We live an hr and 20 min from W/W but it's worth the travel because the price to get in allows 4 hours of fun and excitement for my young family members.

Fantastic experience! The facility was top notch and all the staff was friendly and helpful! Can't wait for the next visit.

ENCHANTED FOREST REVIEWS

A quintessential Oregon experience. Everyone I know that grew up here talks about this place and I can see why. What a cute little gem. It reminds me a lot of the Sprookjesbos (Enchanted Forest) at Efteling theme park in the Netherlands. We enjoyed exploring and rode the log ride. It was lots of fun and everything was well priced. Not like typical theme park prices. It's nice to enjoy yourself and not feel like you're getting screwed over. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I can only imagine how cool this would have been to come explore as a child.

The Enchanted Forest is as magical today as you remember it. Immaculately cared for, clean, organized, whimsical and fun, the park has picnic tables for picnics you can pack in, food for purchase, snacks, drinks etc. we saw the show at the theater and the Irish music. Both were wonderful. Stop by the museum and read over the history of the park. It’s an incredible effort of imagination and love.

Absolutely magical place! Rides that work for the hold family! Food is amazing and staff are friendly and helpful! They let you bring you own food in and have picnic tables to eat at.
