They include Woodman’s, an award-winning seafood restaurant, and the Duckworth’s Bistrot which is known for their fresh, locally sourced, seasonal fare.

Sonoma County is gorgeous year-round, but it’s more special during the spring season where people can freely explore the green-golden outdoors. There are numerous parks where families can hike, bike, learn about the wildlife and its preservation, enjoy horseback riding, and more. Beach tours and water treks are available too! But the most anticipated family activity of all is the hot air balloon over Sonoma Wine Country. Take a  birds-eye view over the rolling hills, mountains, farms, and gardens.

• Be amazed by the Tallest Waterfall in Portland

For the best of nature experience, take your kids to the tallest waterfall in Oregon. While you can view the beautiful Multnomah Falls from the highway, to check out the amazing view of the two-tiered falls in full length, you have to head to the carved-out opening in the rock face. For an even closer view, walk a several hundred feet up to the Benson Bridge. There’s a visitor centre and restaurant where your whole family can rest and dine after a fun yet exhausting walk.
