15 Best Things To Do in Salem, Oregon

Salem, Oregon is one of the largest cities in the region, boasting natural and man-made attractions, such as the State Capitol building and the Willamette Heritage Center.

The Riverfront City Park is a great place to get started when visiting the city since it connects to the Eco-Earth Globe Sculpture and the Minto-Brown Island Park. Plus, the city park holds the Riverfront Carousel - an attraction for everyone regardless of age.

Adding to Salem’s aesthetic appeal are the Deepwood Museum and Gardens, where visitors can spot artefacts from different times. Moreover, the estate also holds jazz festivals, open houses, and Easter egg hunts throughout the year. To offer fresh air from the hustle and bustle of city life, there are 100 acres of Bush's Pasture Park, featuring a softball field and several tennis courts.
