Enjoy the holiday season on the Santiam Excursion train with Santa, Mrs. Clause and maybe an elf or two on each ride for family photo ops and to make sure your wish list gets to the right man. There are lots of dates and times for this event. For information and tickets visit https://santiamexcursions.com/
Join the Albany Carousel for a sensory-friendly ride!
To provide a more accepting and comfortable setting for individuals on the autism spectrum or with sensory sensitivities and their families, we will slow the carousel down to a jog and turn off the organ music.
It’s our hope to provide a fun and inviting space for everyone. So put on your blue and join us!
