Oregon is full of fun places to go for a day trip, and the SAGE Center definitely ranks at the top of the list. Located in Boardman, the SAGE Center, (an acronym for Sustainable AGriculture and Energy), is an interactive museum that highlights sustainable agriculture, farming, and energy. This museum makes these important topics accessible and fun for kids (and adults!) to learn about, and really is one of the most unique day trips in Oregon.

Kids today can be so far removed from our agrarian roots. At the SAGE Center, kids get a hands-on lesson in the agriculture and dairy industries, as well as lessons on sustainable farming practices.

And dairy is big in Oregon; we love our Tillamook Creamery! After all that learning, visitors can enjoy fresh scoops of Tillamook as a hard-earned reward.
