    Beautifully charming carousel. It was irresistible. Took a ride on it and enjoyed every minute. The shop has a good variety of toys, gifts and souvenirs. Got a peek into the carving and painting studio.

    Part of my drive by tour of historic Albany included the Monteith District. The homes and churches were amazing to view. A tour of this entire area is definitely worth the time. Very memorable.

    While on road trip thru Oregon, I made a point of visiting covered bridges . This is a beauty. Well worth the trip to see and photograph.

    If you want to pick your own raspberries in the Albany/Corvallis area, this is the place to go. I often bring International students with me, as the barn is picturesque, and the experience is good! They people there are so friendly! They even take credit cards for a $1 fee.

    Who knew that the "Hub of the Williamette", industries and commerce, would echo around the world.
    Lots of things for the kids to do as well, like dress up in period clothing, use a typewriter, and see the toys kids had,way back when.

    Did a drive by tour of downtown historic Albany. Fascinating and impressive architecture. Not much traffic, so I was able to slowly cruise through and experience a piece of old Albany

    Took my son there today for this 13th Birthday and it was a party of 4. It was the most fun that Ive had in a while and was totally worth the experience. We would all be thrilled to go again, and it's awesome that Splatterbox is close to the Albany Carousel; which we also went for a couple rides on and checked out before we went to the paint war/party.

    I highly recommend this for a unique, and fun experience for families, couples, friends - anyone who likes the idea of going buck wild with paint in an interior safe space or who is enthused by paintball wars but doesn't like the pain associated with them...this is for you.

    Walked around this park every day we were in Albany. Beautiful little gem in the heart of Albany! Too late in season to rent paddle boats but will try that next summer.

    Great spot for a stroll- almost 3 mile bath along the river. Lots of parking and bathrooms at boat landing.

    This project was engineered to cool wastewater prior to entry into the river system. Some said it is sewage flowing through. Not exactly. Prior to this the cleaned water was discharged into the river at whatever temperature it was at the time. This took an abandoned lumber mill log pond and married it with the wastewater treatment as a benefit to all. It repurposes an abandoned log pond, cools and aerates water prior to discharge in the river, and provides walking trails for people. Yes it doesn't quite work as engineered but the cities are suing to recover money.

    As for the place itself. Nice large parking area. Lots of interesting sites - waterfalls, ponds, animals, The paths are well marked and have a good surface. I take my dog here and the trails are varied and all loop. There are lots of people here but you don't notice them on the trails. Families, people with dogs, kids, runners are all part of the people you will find there.

    Fine, clan and funny place, you can go here with your dog, so it can play with other dogs and if you want to see a war memorial and a lovely pond where you can catch a trout you only have to walk 5 minuets
