While most people are familiar with the Willamette Valley wineries, Tualatin is more than wine. From shopping, outdoor activities, museums, to farm to table restaurants, there’s something for everyone in Tualatin.

Tualatin is a fun destination that’s a short drive from Portland. Check out these five family-friendly activities in Tualatin, Oregon.

1. iFLY Indoor Skydiving

The thrill of skydiving without jumping out of an airplane at iFly Portland Indoor Skydiving. Floating free miles above the ground, the air whipping around my legs. That excites me. | iFly Portland Indoor Skydiving | https://www.travelingwellforless.com

Jumping out of an airplane is not required! Kids of all ages (minimum age of 3 to participate) will enjoy indoor skydiving at iFLY.

Guaranteed to put a smile on your kids’ faces, this safe, family-friendly activity will be the highlight of their day. And if you can’t get your teen or tween to talk to you, take them indoor skydiving. They won’t stop talking!

Read my review of iFLY.

Pro-tip: Indoor skydiving is addictive.

2. World of Speed Museum

Your inner speed racer will rejoice at the World of Speed Museum. Think muscle race cars, speedboats, fast motorcycles, and more! This is one museum your kids will be glad you dragged them to.

They offer summer camps, high school auto tech, and Les Schwab workshops.

Pro-tip: Active duty military and family members get free admission Memorial Day through Labor Day.

3. Unger Farms

The former home of collectors Richard and Helen Rice house one of the largest private collections of minerals in the United States. Exhibits include the Alma Rose rhodochrosite, diamonds, and the fossilized remains of "Tucker" a baby Psittacosaurus dinosaur. | #tualatin #familyfun #thingstodowithkids #oregon #strawberries https://www.travelingwellforless.com
