If your idea of spring break travel is less Cancun and more Corvallis, then we have a few ideas for you.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we look at some of the most overlooked attractions in the Willamette Valley that are perfect for some family-friendly day trips this spring.

While most people will flock to the Oregon coast, Mount Hood or the Columbia River Gorge, you can break the mold by visiting some of these great, off-beat destinations that are sprinkled throughout the region.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

• A roadside attraction in Brownsville is perfect for any rockhounds in the family.
• Why the Albany Carousel is not your average carousel.
• Find birds of prey and sprawling gardens at a pair of outdoor attractions.
• Oregon’s Bigfoot museum is a great stop, whether you believe or not.
