Nestled in the heart of the wine growing Willamette Valley, Salem is surrounded by vineyards and filled with historical and cultural attractions for all ages. A good place to start your visit is at the gracious Oregon State Capitol building, before setting off to learn about the early days in Salem at the Deepwood Museum and and Gardens, Bush House Museum, and the Oregon State Hospital Museum.

Outdoor enthusiasts can go hiking, biking, boating, and fishing in the Willamette Mission State Park or treat themselves to a thrilling hot air balloon ride. The Gilbert House Children’s Museum and the Enchanted Forest Theme Park are great for families, while foodies can enjoy visiting some wineries and the farmers’ market.
