    We've taken our kids here, and our parents here, and gone here just by ourselves. This is a real gem! The original Spruce Goose is located here, which is worthy of its own museum, but that's only a part of this well-curated museum. There are fun activities for kids and kids-at-heart, tons of aviation history and more actual aircraft to see inside. It's really impressive.

    The best part is that you can make a whole day of it and go next door to the waterpark where you can start your slide out of a Boeing 747! I've been to famous waterparks in Germany, Czechia, and all over the US, and this one is right up there with the best. Not to be missed.

    It's sort of remote, but is about halfway between Portland and the Oregon Coast (1 hour by car west of Portland, and about 1.5 hours east of the coast), so it's a great stop if you're going to spend some days in either location.

    Highly recommended!
