Looking for baby friendly day trips in central Oregon

We have reached the stage of maternity leave where you can effectively do what you like so long as you can take a sack of potatoes there (or in our case, two because twins). I’m still on leave most of the summer, so was hoping to find some baby friendly day trips we can do! We just did a successful day trip to Sahalie Falls/ Clear Lake today with the in laws, which was pretty perfect.

Things suggested should ideally:

- Be ~1.5 hours max from Eugene (so, not Portland- Haceta Head lighthouse is probably the maximum distance I’m thinking)

- Stroller friendly (we have a jogging stroller ok I’m with flat hiking trails that aren’t paved) or baby carrier for short distances- two at once get heavy

- Huge fan of nature as that’s what this part of the world does best, especially birdwatching and geocaching, and if there’s a brewery to stop at that’s a plus! Random little museums are also encouraged.

So far my list includes stuff like Alesong Brewery, Florence/ Haceta Head lighthouse, tour the state capitol in Salem, and Mary’s Peak. Happy to hear other suggestions, thanks!

There’s two I assume escaped parrots at Washburn Park right now

Saw one but heard it calling back and forth to a second. Not sure of the species
