This is a wonderful farm if you want to see animals up close. We saw and got to feed alpacas,…read moreostriches, emus, lamp/sheep. If you're planning on visiting, make a reservation for ether a group or private tour. The group tour is $15 per person while the private tour is $150 for the entire group. The only drawback with the group tour is you don't know how many people might be in it. We had almost 40 in our group and that was a bit too many in my opinion. When you arrive, check-in is inside the red barn. They'll let you know which group tour you belong to. They have port o' potties and hand washing stations behind the barn. If you end up getting any food from the food truck (ostrich sliders and ostrich philly steak style sandwiches), you can bring it into the barn where there's picnic style tables and benches. The "gift shop" is also inside the barn. If you do come on wet day or after it rains, be sure to wear appropriate shoes...it can get muddy as you walk from one animal area to another.

We attended an event here…read more The barn is the highlight. It was huge & offered lots of space to roam and allow kiddos to have fun birthday party wise. Their tour was running late- by late I mean 40 minutes... so we had to shuffle things around party wise. The tour consists I of seeing the animals. Didn't realize that the Ostrich were there for lol meat purposes. During the tour kiddos got to feed them. They have a few different areas to roam, with some tables. It's a decent sized place. I think it could use some TLC though.

They are…read moreso good to their customers and always have something happening, whether is different classes (paint, jewelry, plants), Thursday night dinners (which are my favorite) or concerts, there is always something for everyone. My girlfriends met me there last Tuesday, and we had the best time! I really enjoy the rule of no pets as I am allergic and even the no kids rule after a certain time I enjoy as well. I love my kids, but sometimes I just want to hang out with my friends w/o any kids around, so bravo Tumwater. The staff seem to love their jobs even when they are running around, and they do run around alot. The manager is super personable and loves what she does and it shows. Can't say enough good things, so i'll end it there. I'm so glad I found my little spot to be, and they always remember my name!!! (Cheers!)

To celebrate West Linn's centennial this year, the city offered a number of special events. One of…read moremy favorites, as a student of history, were the monthly historical walking tours in different neighborhoods throughout West Linn. This first walk in January started at the McLean House and the series just concluded here as well. It is a beautiful venue that I consider to be West Linn's grand house. Sure there are plenty of modern mansions much more extravagant in scale and decor, but this is a beautifully restored and maintained historic home that is a lovely remembrance of times gone by and my city's roots. The home was given to the city by the McLean family after the construction of the Abernethy bridge drastically altered their river view. It is still a lovely location with a park like setting out back featuring a gazebo built by the local Lions Club. The interior has been restored with an eye to matching the original decor as closely as possible. For example, upstairs in the Groom's Room there is a nautical theme and you will see the wallpaper is very close to the original paper still present in the closet. The Bride's Room is the former master suite and my favorite room in the house is the sitting room with fireplace and red couch just off to the side. A close second is the sun room on the main floor downstairs. The original light fixtures are beautiful and there are enough updates to make this a comfortable entertaining venue. It is frequently the location for weddings, reunions and historic events in our city. The next public event on the calendar is the cookie exchange in December. I applaud the Friends of McLean House for doing such a wonderful job maintaining this historic structure and opening it to the public.

I cannot say anything negative about this place. The McLean House staff was unbelievably helpful…read more They were hired for setup and teardown but helped the entire day!

Once again we would love to say thank you for making our wedding day so very special from the very first time we met with you to the actual day of our wedding. What a beautiful setting as the setup was amazing and the views could not have been better. I would totally recommend this venue to anyone that will be getting married or any other events that you need banquet space.

Darryl has been difficult to deal with and lacks any follow through. I've received numerous excuses and 0 real reasons. Initial claim was that it was due to the bar... but we had a cash bar, then it was staffing fees - those were already accounted for in the contract, then it was a tip.. but unfortunately my receipt proved that wrong. It's created extra stress over a day we wished was the end of a grieving process. Great views, but be very careful here as no one is accountable.

They had the ceremony under the shade of a huge, beautiful tree. The "coordinator" had great control over the entire event from cuing every person, including the participants for the ceremony, DJ, caterers, etc. and that made everything seamless. She knew exactly what the bride and groom had wanted, in all aspects. Everything, everywhere was clean and tidy and overall it was such a phenomenal wedding.

You first think maybe the pricing is a bit much, but believe me, when you add up all that's included and the care you receive, it's a bargain, seriously!
