Turn Corvallis into Your Playground with the Corvallis Explorer App!

Remember the joy of being a little kid - swinging high into the sky, running through fountains, and exploring the world like every corner held a new surprise? With the Corvallis Explorer App, that feeling comes rushing back. Designed to help you discover the fun, freedom, and hidden treasures  of Corvallis, this free app invites you to treat the city like the giant playground it is.

Use the app to find places to swing in the park, climb a hill, bike along scenic paths, or run barefoot through the downtown fountain. Track down the best local burgers, brews, mocktails, find a spot for sunset selfies, or stumble into live music or a food truck with Poke - all in real time. Whether you're visiting or just feel like being a kid again, the app helps you play your way through town.

And don’t forget to meet Charlie, our playful AR chatbot who can help you around the city to share fun facts, guide your next adventure, or just cheer you on. So go ahead - download the Corvallis Explorer App and rediscover the magic of play. Corvallis is your playground. Come swing, splash, and explore!

The Corvallis Explorer App was created by locally based HospitalityVision, a proud Visit Corvallis member and partner.  The app is co-sponsored by Kathi Hutchinson, Windermere Willamette Valley.  Follow Charlie on Instagram @corvallischarlie.
