Located approximately 70 miles from Portland in the town of Tillamook, this famous cheese factory invites visitors to embark on a fun and educational self-guided tour. Two interactive video displays keep the audience well engaged, allowing them to learn not only about the ins and outs of a fast-paced West Coast dairy, but also about the rich history of the community-oriented organization and its beloved products. Upstairs, a five-part video presentation explains the process of making cheese while you observe the factory operations below. If the kids don't go ape over all of that, send them to the "Kidz Zone," an interactive play area that focuses its attention on cows. At the end of the tour, sample the dairy's delights for free. Admission is free as well. If you have a couple additional hours to spare, reserve an afternoon tour of the neighboring Tillamook Dairy Farm.
