This 20-acre outdoor theme park, nestled in a forested setting just off I-5 in Salem, is something of an Oregon icon. It has been family owned and operated since opening its doors in 1971. Today, there are kiddy rides, slides and storybook lane for the younger set, and a haunted house, Big Timber Log Ride (the biggest log ride in the Northwest) and a roller coaster for the slightly older bunch.

Great experience just as I remember as a kid

This place is so great. I went many times as a kid but hadn't been back since the 90s. Decided to go with my girlfriend and we both had a really fun time. There were many things to see and do, and the vibe of the park was just very pleasant. The workers were friendly, park was clean and the attractions were well maintained. It was also much more extensive than I remember. That attractions are long and there's clearly a strong attention to detail throughout the park. There is a magical quirky element to it that is nostalgic and hard to find in other theme parks nowadays. Probably what Disneyland had in its early days that it wasn't able to retain as it expanded. The prices were also very fair.

Fantastic family getaway during this pandemic!

They did an absolutely incredible job here of promoting safe family fun! The park is open for only about 8% of capacity at a time so we were able to socially distance better than we could at a local park or hiking trail back home. We never stood in line for a ride, not even for 1 person, and staff sanitized constantly- between each rider and on all the hand rails. Sanitizer is also located throughout the park to encourage guests to constantly keep their hands clean too. I've always loved this magical place with a whimsical feel and a handful of fun rides. However, I didn't expect to be able to go here (or any other amusement park) and feel safe during this pandemic. I won't even let my kids eat indoors at restaurants or visit friends without masks so it's really a huge accomplishment that we felt completely safe here. Thanks for a wonderful break from the stress of our current crazy world!

Fairytale love

We loved this little fairytale land tucked away in the middle of the forest 🌳. Some of the rides were closed, but we still enjoyed ourselves!

Overpriced, overhyped, underperforming

Having went here dozens of times growing up, we decided to take our son there. It was priced well above where it should have been. Nostagiac, but not worth a return trip

Local area fun attraction for kids during the summer

Lots of fun to be had at this local place! The Enchanted Forest is an amusement park located in Turner, Oregon, next to Interstate 5 just south of Salem. Creator Roger Tofte opened the park in 1971 after seven years of construction. Today, the Tofte family still owns and operates the 20-acre park.
