Things to Do: Enchanted Forest, Turner, Oregon

Enchanted Forest  8462 Enchanted Way SE, 7 mi. S of Salem, (503) 371-4242.  Hours vary.  $10.50, 62+ & 3-12 $9.50; ride ticket 95c/each.  Built from the ground up by one family, this land of fantasy features gingerbread architecture and a forest filled with nursery rhyme and fairy tale settings.  A sheltered dirt trail leads through the forest setting to Alice's Wonderland, where visitors enter through a rabbit hole and exit through a maze; on to the Crooked House, where it is difficult to stand upright; and then on to the Old Lady's Shoe for a fast ride on a long, bumpy slide.  For a small additional charge, visitors may tour a haunted house and ride on bobsleds.  During the summer, live performances of fairy tales occur regularly in an outdoor theater located at the end of a fragrant wood-chip path.
