Book Nook

Get a truly dramatic glimpse of some of the area's wildlife when you visit the Cascades Raptor Center. This nature center and wildlife hospital not only offers you the chance to see some truly amazing creatures, but you'll also see how some of these various species are rehabilitated before being re-released into their natural habitat. Plus, you'll most definitely want to see the colorful (and musical) 33 species of birds that make their home at this attraction.

If it's a must-see show or performance, it's bound to be happening at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts. In addition to an impressive schedule of musical and dramatic performances, you'll also encounter a truly stunning permanent art collection on display at this incredible entertainment venue. The Hult is also the residence of such companies as the Eugene Ballet, the Eugene Concert Choir, and the Eugene Symphony.

Escape without having to go too far when you plan to spend a little romantic time together on a date at Hendricks Park. This is Eugene's oldest city park and it offers several natural amenities that will make your time together quite memorable. Over its sprawling 78 acres, the two of you will find a mature forest to marvel at, a highly-recognized rhododendron garden to admire, and several winding trails on which to stroll casually hand in hand.
