Attractions

The West Coast Game Park Safari, 46914 U.S. 101 S. (tel. 541/347-3106; www.gameparksafari.com), 7 miles south of Bandon, bills itself as America's largest wild-animal petting park and is a must for families. Depending on what young animals they have at the time of your visit, you might be able to play with a leopard, tiger, or bear cub. The park is open daily from 9am to 6pm in summer, 9am to 5pm in spring and fall (call for hours in other months). Admission is $14 for adults, $13 for seniors, $8.50 for children 7 to 12, and $5.50 for children 2 to 6.

Shopping is one of Bandon's main attractions, and in Old Town Bandon, just off U.S. 101, you'll find some interesting shops and galleries. A couple of galleries sell artworks by regional artists. One of the better ones is the Bandon Glass Art Studio at 240 U.S. 101 (tel. 541/347-4723; www.dutchschulze.com), which is just across the highway from Old Town. Here you can watch glass directly from the furnace being made into the paperweights or fluted glass bowls the gallery sells.
