Linn County Expo Center — Attraction in Albany

Christmas Storybook Land Linn County Expo Center

Pretty good time for children and adults. It can take a while to walk through the entire attraction of there are a lot of people. And there's NO HEAT, so dress those kiddos warm.... They have children's nursery rhymes, stories, Walt Disney cartoons, Pixar cartoons, & other characters all decked out for Christmas, in displays roped off with lights and trees. There are tables set up with mini train sets, a Teddy Bear picnic, doll houses, and much more. There's so much to see, and a couple vendors have kettle corn, and other snacks. Donations of canned food are accepted upon entrance for local food banks, other then that it's completely free to walk through. We've seen storybook legends such as, The Old Lady Who Lived in the Shoe & Mother Goose. At the end of the attraction is Santa & Mrs. Clause to take photos with. This year Fitzpatrick painting has a photo opportunity also. There are photo opportunities throughout the entire attraction also. Overall it's a local tradition my family has enjoyed for years! Thank you everyone who makes...

You end up seeing people for the few hour we spent there walking around the front of the place with guns they had purchased and them telling other people arriving you better get them while you can and laughing about it. Kind of scary in a way and kind of intimidating at the same time the way they carried the guns around as if it was some sort of trophy or idle. I'll continue to look for a decent flea market in Oregon but I sure as heck hope there isn't a gun show during...

Large amount of parking. Can be confusing for which entry and exit is open for use. The grounds are kept clean and up to date. Many events here year round. Rock shows, gun shows, Christmas Bazaars, dog shows, horse shows, rodeos, bull riding, and many more. They host car dealer sales. There is a RV club organization that meets yearly. The arena has a regular schedule year round that is open to equestrians. In the summertime the Linn County Fair starts. They always have a good band with paid and free seating. The kid's area has many things for kids to do and make for free. If you get there early it's not as crowded and if you buy your tickets a week before the fair at a nearby store like Coastal Farm you save quite a...
