Museums in Salem, OR

Salem is PERFECT for those family days out!

This beautify city is perfect any time of year, with a host of indoor and outdoor family-friendly attractions for any kind of day! You certainly won’t be short of beautiful parks, fascinating history and fun surprises! 

On those glorious sunny days, get out into nature (and you don’t have to go far from the city - this one is IN the city!). Bush’s Pasture Park is perfect for riding bikes, scooting around or enjoying the fun playgrounds! Have younger children? Salem is GREAT with places like AC Gilbert’s Discovery Village which is a science museum, kids museum AND awesome play area wrapped up in one!

Enjoy some theme park fun with Enchanted Forest Park which is VERY family friendly, or step back in time with Williamette Queen Sternwheeler, which will take kids on a fantastic journey down the Willamette River.
