The Willamette Valley offers many activities for all age groups. Catch a summer concert at Monteith River Park, enjoy a relaxing lunch at one of the many downtown restaurants, visit the Albany Regional Museum or enjoy a ride on the Albany Historic Carousel. Shop one of the many downtown boutiques and antique shops to find a special treasure or gift for someone. Enjoy a round of golf at one of the local courses, most of which are less than a short twenty-minute drive away. The Blue Ox is within an hour drive or less of some of the best wineries and breweries on the West Coast. There are a lot of ways to explore the Mid-Willamette Valley area… what will you do?
