Visitors to the city should also check out the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, located at 2600 Centre St NE. The Hallie Ford Museum explores controversial therapy protocols and features an extensive underground tunnel system. In addition, this museum was used in the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo&#8217;s Nest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for an active weekend getaway, you&#8217;ll enjoy the city&#8217;s many parks and recreational activities. Minto-Brown Island Park, which covers nearly 100 acres, offers plenty of walking and jogging trails. It also contains a softball field, picnic areas, and an amphitheater that seats 100 people. A variety of playgrounds are also available. And while you&#8217;re there, you can also check out the Salem Golf Club, which features nine holes and a nine-hole golf course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city also has many other attractions for families to enjoy, including the historic Deepwood Estate, which is located in a Queen Anne Victorian home built in 1884. This estate offers scenic views and a beautiful Victorian garden with benches and a compost recycling area. Regardless of the age of your kids, there&#8217;s sure to be a fun activity for the entire family. And when you&#8217;re finished playing golf, you can take a break and check out the nearby Salem zoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the farms in the region, Salem Oregon also has an array of arts and crafts vendors. The Minto Island Growers&#8217; Farm Stand is open seasonally and sells organic produce, teas, and plant starts. The Phoenix Inn Convention Center is another great place to check out when visiting the Salem area. If you&#8217;re a foodie, don&#8217;t miss out on the U-pick berries at Minto Island Growers&#8217; Farm Stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town is also home to numerous wineries and breweries. The Santiam Brewing Company offers a tasting room where you can sample craft beers. It also offers a cask-ale bar dedicated to their beers. And Vagabond Brewing Company is a favorite of locals, hosting live music most nights. The city also hosts a winter brew festival. The city&#8217;s uniqueness makes it a great destination for a family vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting the Oregon State Capitol is a must for any Oregon family vacation. It&#8217;s a fascinating place with the statue of the Oregon Pioneer on its top. There&#8217;s also a thriving dining scene, and many scenic spots nearby. The city is also close to many waterfalls, riverside trails, and a wine region that rivals any in the Pacific Northwest. You can spend a day in Salem Oregon, enjoying the great outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city&#8217;s riverfront park has recently added an outdoor cinema to its summer offerings. Open in 2008, the park features a large 22-foot inflatable screen that will keep you cool. While there, you can picnic before the movie. And don&#8217;t forget to bring your camera. Salem is a bustling city with plenty to see and do.
