Things To Do
Pacific City
Just an hour west from the venue, the beach is one of our favorite places to visit on a warm sunny day! Pacific City hosts an impressive sand dune you can hike up. After working up an appetite, visit Pelican Brewing Company right on the beach!
Northeast 3rd Street
We spent a lot of time on 3rd St with our friends visiting various establishments while in college here in McMinnville. Our favorite restaurants include Grain Station, Two Dogs Taphouse, and McMenamins! Explore the eclectic shopping for gifts, art, décor, antiques and more.
Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum
A fun stop to take with your family. Enjoy time in the aviation museum seeing the Spruce Goose then take a dip at the water park next door at Wings & Waves!
Wings & Waves Waterpark
Another fun activity for the family, and right next door to the museum! Pack your swimsuits!
Tillamook Creamery
Another fun stop if going to the coast sounds like your cup of cheese! Enjoy some ice cream, cheese samples, and learn how Tillamook makes their yummy products!
Spirit Mountain Casino
A fun stop for the adults! Just 30 minutes from the wedding venue and McMinnville. And a fun place to stop along the way to the beach!
Big Al's
We had to include this one. This was our first date, so needless to say we love it! Enjoy some bowling, arcade games, and catch a game on the big screens.
