Who ever is in charge of the activity room where clothes are washed and they learn about making bread was EXTREMELY rude at all times and was yelling at the children for things she could have simple asked nicely. She is condescending to even the adults and her attitude sucks. Honestly she shouldn't be working with the public. She needs retraining at minimum an a better attitude overall. Other than that it was fun but several parents have agreed we won't be back, solely based on this woman.

Part of the exhibit…read more The Castle Rock Exhibit Hall, dedicated on the 10th anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St.Helens, is one of North Cowlitz County's featured attractions for visitors. Operated by the nonprofit Castle Rock Exhibit Hall Society, the facility has three galleries of exhibits, displays and photographs portraying the area's history and culture. Those exhibits include Cowlitz Indian artifacts, logging carvings, sawmilling, logging displays, a Smithsonian Institution exhibit depicting the Mt. St. Helens blast zone, pre-eruption and post eruption pictures of the mountain and Spirit Lake, and other exhibits. The Exhibit Hall also includes a demonstration area that hosts annual quilt shows, holiday wreathmaking and other events, and a small store featuring books by several local residents among its merchandise. In the front of the building is a Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center that provides tourists brochures, maps and information about Mt. St. Helens and other Washington and Oregon tourist attractions. A historic city jail built in 1907 is located on city property behind the Exhibit Hall. Murals featuring Mt. St. Helens and Spirit Lake, a logging train and a Sternwheeler water vessel grace exterior walls of three buildings near the Exhibit Hall. Visitors may tour the historic city jail, which has been unused since the mid 1940's.

I rarely leave reviews, but our experience on this wine tasting tour in Hood River, Oregon, was so…read morebad that I feel compelled to warn others. We were overcharged for what was advertised as a curated, prepaid wine tour -- yet what we got was the complete opposite. Our driver, Lisa, was completely unprepared and clearly had no idea what she was doing. She didn't even realize that one of the wineries she was supposed to take us to was closed. That alone shows a total lack of planning or professionalism.  Lisa failed to communicate with the wineries ahead of time (which was supposed to be part of her job), and it was obvious she hadn't done any due diligence for our scheduled stops. The entire tour felt like it was being thrown together on the spot, and for the price we paid, that's simply unacceptable. I wouldn't recommend this tour to anyone -- not tourists, not locals, not even casual wine drinkers. There are so many great experiences to be had in the Hood River area. This just isn't one of them!

AWOOOOOOOO!…read more Beautiful wolves roam and thrive at Wolf Haven International, where the wolves are first and foremost the primary focus- not humans. As one of my primary spirit animals, wolves have such a profound effect on my behavior, personality, and even appearance. My monochrome wardrobe is inspired by the gorgeous shades of color that wolves are comprised of and I even have an inclination towards the moon because of wolves. I also love the cold and perpetually embody the elegance and grace that makes these creatures so irresistible. There are so many fascinating wolf knowledge tidbits that I learned during the tour and it was incredible to see the different types of wolves and their unique traits. Wolf pack UNITE!

This multi generational family group is very confusing…read more They do not comply with the truth-in-advertising The Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 (https://www.doi.gov/iacb/act). They say they are Cherokee, that is untrue. This is a white, non-Native family who around the late 1940s sold curios and did "Indian" performances for the unknowing tourist trade and also at large events like the Pendleton Round Ups in Oregon. Eventually they settled in Ariel, Washington, evolving their act along the way. This white, non-Native family is selling and performing their own mashup of several cultures. Very little is authentic. Making friends with the James Aul Sewid family of Canada does not give them the right to claim their art is Native American here in United States. This family pulls in grants, profit, and prestige through their fraudulent activities. There are 29 federally recognized tribes in Washington state alone. The Lelooska family group is not a member of any of those tribes, or any other. So what they perform for all those countless school kids on field trips, for all the adults, is a rather rude disheartening sad folly.
