If you're staying in the McMinnville area, the head attraction of the town is the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum! There is something for everyone, and it is an immersive experience. It is worth every penny!
If you're looking for more of an adventure westward, an hour and ten minute drive will take you to Pacific City! A tucked-away beach town with lots of coastal charm. You can watch surfers take the wake, explore the tide pools, and climb the massive dune up to Cape Kiwanda for stunning views of the Oregon Coast.
