There is a large barn-like structure with restrooms and indoor seating, as well as a large covered outdoor seating area in between two rows of food carts. The complex is flanked by two parking lots on each end with ample parking. There also appears to be a fair number of accessible parking spaces for those with mobility issues. The Barn at Hickory Station is a great addition to the community, offering a family-friendly environment where kids can run free in a large grassy area. I'll definitely return the next time I find myself in the Albany area.

I came here one rainy, dreary fall day for an impromptu trading card "show". Although there was few…read morevendors, I saw an amazing, re-invigorated building which many will remember as the downtown J.C. Penney. The Owners have simply done an amazing job here. Completely remodeled and brought back to life - this is what downtown Lebanon needs! The restrooms are great. All top notch craftsmanship. Also, be sure to stop up front at Mugs Coffee House. Easily the best service and product I have enjoyed in quite some time. I plan to return for future events!

The hotel my dad and I stayed at in Corvallis (the first time) was all booked up when we arrived…read more(late at night) after our arduous drive from San Francisco (!), so we ended up at this Holiday Inn Express in nearby Albany. It felt like the epitome of an average hotel at the Holiday Inn Express level. It wasn't super fancy or nice or new or fresh, and the person at the front desk wasn't that friendly, but it was fine. The room was clean; the beds were comfy; the front-desk person was efficient and thorough. The parking lot didn't feel sketchy, but since this particular visit, I have learned that almost all hotel parking lots are sketchy. As in don't leave anything in your car--not that I would ever do that. I live in San Francisco! We checked in late at night, slept, and checked out in the morning on our way to Corvallis; so we never really saw the place during the day.

Easy check, friendly & accommodating front desk and house keepers…read more Room was clean and had Dove hand soap, lotion, shampoo and conditioner instead of the usual tiny bottles of low quality stuff.

She is just the sweetest and so incredibly helpful. It was so nice to be able to unload and set up on Friday and clean-up on Sunday. The value for the price is fantastic. It was so nice to have so many areas to choose from for our ceremony and reception, and having complimentary on-site parking was so convenient for our guests. While I'd seen the venue a few times in February and July, I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful the venue was on our actual wedding day. It was PERFECT! Thank you so much, Helen and Wayne!

Wonderful snuggle fest @ Iron Water Ranch in Albany, OR. -Lambentine Event- !!…read more We had an amazing time at this local Ranch as first time visitors! We signed up for their two day event online which consisted of hourly time slots to snuggle and bottle feed sweet baby lambs. We checked in during our designated time, received custom stickers, and given basic written instructions on how to hold and feed lambs. We then entered their big barn, where we were already assigned to Shepherd Brendan, who told us to pick an enclosed hay spot. He then retrieved a sweet lamb, dressed in a cute little shirt, who was ready to drink some warm milk, and be held by yours truly! The first baby girl, Widow, was the sweetest. She loved to be held and I bottle fed and snuggled with her forever. I asked Brendan if we could meet another lamb, and he then retrieved Jean, who was only a couple weeks old, if that! She was just as sweet, but a little bit more timid. They also had professionals onsite, spinning wool into yarn, products for sale, and staff on hand to answer any and all questions. We enjoyed our time here and plan on coming back for future events!! March MAAAdness is coming up!

Oh. My. FUN. We has heard of this place because my daughter was invited to a birthday party there…read more I didn't let her attend as I didn't know there family and wouldn't let her drive that far with people I don't know. So we went as a family. Now let me tell you this is SO much fun. Expect to get SOAKING wet with paint. I'd 100% suggest keeping your hair NOT painted as it makes for a HUGE mess. But definitely get the car seats covered so you don't transfer paint. I'd also suggest if it's cold outside, or quite honesty simply for COMFORT, to bring a change of clothes. And go change at Starbucks or something after. We were ALL super cold on the ride home. I think that you definitely don't need as much time as you're allotted as you run out of paint FAST. And we used every last drop!!! It was an EPIC family fun afternoon. I DO think it absolutely stinks that you can't change there...they should get a changing area or figure something out because hello everyone is WET!! Other than that, 5 stars for fun. Less one for the inconvenience of not being able to change THERE.

We would all be thrilled to go again, and it's awesome that Splatterbox is close to the Albany Carousel; which we also went for a couple rides on and checked out before we went to the paint war/party.

My wife had no idea what was going on until she walked out onto the balcony and saw the the very nice layout of food & flowers. Heather was very helpful and instrumental in helping me pull this off.

I was able to play the music from our wedding reception over the house sound system which was very nice. I guarantee it was a dinner that will not soon be forgotten!
