Southern Oregon Attractions

When you’ve finished listening to sonnets at the Shakespeare Festival or wondering about mysteries of the deep at Crater Lake, it’s time to really start exploring! Indulge in blacksmithing demonstrations and Native American dances at Hanley Farm, visit six beautiful covered bridges near Umpqua, or take in glory days of the old west in Jacksonville, a former gold rush town (stop at the Jacksonville Museum). Wow the kids at Wildlife Safari, where you can view cheetahs, giraffes and hippos (oh my!), ScienceWorks Museum, where they can play their way through electric trains, 3D drawing and pulleys, or step into the “twilight zone” at the Oregon Vortex. Finally, satisfy your hunger and bite into artisan cheeses at Rogue Creamery (we suggest Smokey Oregon Blue), handmade chocolates at Lillie Belle farms or sip and swirl away at picturesque wineries.
