5.0 Childers' Raspberry Farm (14 reviews)
- Wonderful family farm, will always cherish the memories
Farms

This family farm has become one of my favorite honeymoon memories. We stopped into the farm 20 minutes before it closed. The friendly ladies gave us buckets and pointed us in the direction of the fields. The raspberries were lush and plentiful. We could have picked thousands of the ripe berries!! Upon returning to the barn to weigh our berries, the ladies learned we were on our honeymoon and gifted us the berries and and their secret recipe books! We will always stop at Childers' Raspberry Farm on our trips to Oregon to enjoy their delicious berries. See more..

5.0 Downtown Shabby, LLC (2 reviews)
- Fun to browse and good prices too
Spent < 1 hour Speciality & Gift Shops • Antique Shops
Downtown Shabby (kinda like Downton Abbey...get it?) is run by a group of artists and antique buffs mostly dedicated to shabby chic styles of furniture and accessories. The turnover of merchandise is constant, probably due to the reasonable prices. I've browsed there several times and bought something twice (a small brass table lamp, and a brightly re-painted end table.) Most items are refurbished one-of-a-kind things, but there are also some new, handmade accessories. It is a short walk to the carousel project, and always good for a 5 minute browse. See more..
5.0 Deluxe Brewing Company (2 reviews)
- Excellent Brewery
Sunday: 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Breweries
Five stars is a rarity for me. Five star requires excellence in beer, atmosphere, service, and a knowledgeable beer-tender. Deluxe got top marks from me in all these categories. My only disappointment, after looking in the map, was that I thought it would be right on the river. It's not. No big loss. The inside is decorated with all sorts of interesting artifacts. The outside patio is peaceful and pleasant. I know we all differ in our tastes for beer, but I found all 8 beers in my flight to be very tasty, with a few I thought were excellent. Service also was perfect. I wish I remembered the lady's name. She was very enthusiastic and attentive. She came out to check on us several times, though she was working alone and it is a long walk from the bar to the patio... We also went home with the Apple whiskey!! EXCELLENT!!! See more..
5.0 BZ BeeZ (1 review)
- Delicious raw local honey from the quiet country life of Albany
Speciality & Gift Shops
We were curious to buy some local farm-fresh type produce and were very excited to come across this beekeeping family with a small shop. It's hard to imagine their bees feast on anything other than nature's best- their location has beautiful views and a serene setting. You travel to their family home, so nothing too retail-aesthetic, but the honey was worth the drive. They make creamed honey too- don't miss it. Several cute different-shaped jars and holiday-themed items. Prices were very reasonable in comparison to back at home. See more..
4.5 Talking Water Gardens (82 reviews)
- Super cool place to walk and relax
Gardens

This is one of the most interesting sewer plants you will ever visit. That's right I said sewer plant. It's a state of the art water filtration system using nature prior to releasing the cleaned water back into the ecosystem. No smell. No waste water. You would not know it by walking around the water park. Great wild life. Bird watching. You will be amazed. The plant life has matured. Easy parking. No crowds. A little difficult to find but worth the effort. See more..

Family Day!! We drove over from the coast and were not disappointed. We received GREAT service from Angie!! She is like a 1 woman show. The mini golf course was so fun, the bowling was a perfect way to end the day. The only small suggestion I have is more help in the snack bar area. The wait for food was a bit longer than expected. Thank you Angie again for the great service!! See more..
4.0 Albany Art Studio-Splatterbox (5 reviews)
- Super great experience
Spent 2-3 hours Art Museums

Awesome! We had a birthday party here for a bunch of 11 year old boys! It was NUTS! They loved it! Even a couple of the parents wanted to try it out! Thank you!!! Bring extra clothes to change into and be sure to have access to a shower after! We are a mess! Would be a fun date night activity or something for the whole family or work group. We had to leave our canvas there to dry and it was difficult to find a time to pick them up later. Not sure if that's changed since it's been a few months since our party. See more..
