She rode on her first carousel a…read moreweek before visiting here and she loved it so when my best friend mentioned that Salem had a carousel (why??) we decided to come check it out. The carousel is indoors so that's a nice perk when it's cold or rainy. It's a large carousel with different animals as well as some benches, and they're adding others soon--including a U of O themed duck. The rides are pretty inexpensive at $2 each; you'll buy tokens at the gift shop. (They only take cards with a minimum $5 purchase.) Alternatively, you can pay $15 for unlimited rides for the day. The gift shop has lots of stuff... except t-shirts, which they were out of the day we came in and that was a bummer since I'd wanted to get one for the little one. There are indoor toilets here (yay) and they have some vendors--at least, there as a cotton candy vendor here when we visited. They also rent the space out and there was a nice private room off to the side of the carousel. There's lots of parking here since it's part of the overall Riverfront Park.

The carousel is beautiful but the service at the store leaves a bit to be desired and at $2 a ride,…read moreit's a little pricey. When I walked in, the cashier promptly stood up, but I was trying to pull up the photo of my berry pass so I waited off to the side. A woman paid and I overheard the cashier mention that she needs the physical berry pass so I scooted behind the person who was in line next since I no longer had to find the photo on my phone. The people who came into the shop created a fork in the line, so I let them go in front of me because I was the one who caused the confusion. After they paid, the cashier would not accept that I was waiting in line, however, the woman she tried to help told me to go. The cashier scoffed when I came up to the counter. Then she was very abrupt with my sale, and as I was leaving I heard her tell the woman who let me go, "that was very kind of you." I turned around and said, "I've literally been waiting in line" to which the woman said, "I know you have." but the cashier wouldn't even look at me. It was not a great experience for me. Thankfully my daughter was oblivious to the encounter and enjoyed the ride itself.

After about seven visits, we're basically getting in for free. With the pass, you get extra jumping hours. We bring our grip socks every time but they're always available to purchase at the front desk. They have a water bottle station, so bring a cup or a tumbler because jumping is exhausting work. There are couches for non-jumpers as well as concessions if you're feeling snacky. The music is kid friendly and fun. Really great environment that as an adult, I don't mind hanging out for a couple of hours while my kid gets all of her energy out.

He's been…read moreasking to go to a haunted house this year so I searched "family friendly haunted houses" and this came up. We decided to give it a try and we're very glad we did. It was a long drive on curvy country roads to get there and it was rainy and extremely foggy, but it made it part of the "spooky" fun! We got here and we were greeted with friendly people and even a sucker for our son. It was only $20 for the 3 of us to get in which is very reasonable and a cheap night compared to any local events and activities we usually go to. The trail was pretty long and we were told to go through as many times as we wished. There were tons of little houses to walk through, a maze, a suspension bridge, a concrete tunnel, a crooked house, and many slides. We thoroughly enjoyed the trail, rain and all! It was well lit with Halloween lights all throughout, so it was pretty neat to walk the trails and see hidden spooky figures in the dark. The castle is so cool! It's a mini haunted house with strobe lights, animatronics, curtains to walk through, etc. Our 6 year old was scared by it a bit and got really brave to go in a second time (which made us SO relieved we didn't go to a legitimate haunted house) so it was perfect and not too scary. They've got hot cocoa, hot cider, cold cider, and donuts for sale (very cheap) too so we took advantage of that while we walked the trail. We can't wait to go here and see it all during Christmas time!

Those were just a few of the buildings this place reminds me of Enchanted Forest it's like a mini version without the thrill rides.The Trail is well maintained and the attractions are cute. We went through the haunted house before heading down the trail. The trail was a child's dream come true with slides and mazes galore. Pumpkins are $2,$4,$6 depending on size. They have snacks available for purchase at a reasonable price. If you have children under $12 you'll love this place not much for older kids, but definitely worth the $6 admission price.

There isn't much; there's a playground, a historic marker plaque, restrooms (that were oddly clean), plenty of parking and a former boat-launch that is now a very small beach. The park was very clean, quiet and kept up impeccably. Perhaps a good spot to have a picnic or dip your feet in the water, or use the restroom.

I had to use the restroom while I was there. First, at a park that has a play-set for 2-year-olds (never mind kids who have siblings), there's no baby changing table. And second, there's no soap dispenser. Not just no soap, no way to supply it. There's an air dryer (no towels)...in other words, nothing to keep stocked. But no soap in the restroom? Ew. Otherwise it was fine, seemed well-maintained, etc. But uninspired. If you live close by it's likely worth it, but I wouldn't bother to drive there.

In my opinion, the pricing was too high for the limited number of outdoor rides available. I spent over $200 for the two of us for approximately two hours, and the arcade games were also quite expensive. The highlight of our visit was the food. I had a chicken wrap that was generously sized and surprisingly good. The atmosphere was also pleasant and well-suited for children. I understand that pricing may reflect the lack of larger amusement park options in the area, unlike in California where I live. However, based on the value offered, I do not plan to return.
