The Family of VoyagersShowcase experience: The trip to Salem you’ll remember for years Balanced diets, river biology and the human body? Kids don’t need textbooks when they can immerse themselves in hands-on exhibits, like those at the A.C. Gilbert’s Discovery Village in Salem. Stop in at the Little Gem Candy Store on your way home for that favorite childhood sweet, or continue to reminisce by taking a turn on an Oregon-themed horse at the Salem's Riverfront Carousel. This old-world style carousel is enjoyable for all ages; just close your eyes and become a kid again. Visit the Wild West, run the river in a log canoe, or take a walk down storybook lane - all to the sounds of fairy-tale music and children’s laughter at the Enchanted Forest. Children young and old can visit an authentic English village or haunted house before taking in a kaleidoscope of lights during the daily Fantasy Fountain’s Water-Light show. If that’s not enough to satisfy, check out Thrill-Ville USA, Oregon’s premier “family fun spot.” This park features two giant waterslides, Go-Karts, Blaster Boats, thrill rides, and a kiddie section. Great food, strolling costumed characters, and live entertainment round out the experience. Hear a ball crack against the bat and enjoy a hotdog smothered in mustard at a Salem-Keizer Volcanoes baseball game. The club was named the “Best Class A Short Season Franchise” in the nation by Baseball America. Enjoy a family dinner while taking in a movie at the Northern Lights Theater Pub. Early shows are open to all ages and the theater serves kid friendly food along with adult fare. From light comedies to PG-rated action flicks, this theater has films the whole family can agree on. Whether you’d like to stay within walking distance of the Capitol, downtown historic district and shops, or you’d prefer a unique bed and breakfast beside a scenic vineyard, the Salem area offers diverse lodgings that cater to every need and many that come complete with fireplaces, Jacuzzis and pools, as well as restored historic homes and full breakfast fare.
