Eugene is home to the Eugene Emeralds, a short-season Class A minor league baseball team. The “Ems,” as they are commonly referred to, play their home games in PK Park which is also the home of the University of Oregon baseball team.

A brisk walk is one of the best forms of exercise, and for outdoor lovers, taking that gingerly stroll down the Amazon Trail in Eugene is a great way to spend some quality time enjoying the area's natural beauty. The trail is located next to Roosevelt Middle School and offers a 600-meter, 1,000-meter and 1-mile loop. Whatever length of the trail you choose to tackle, they are all in the convenient figure-eight shape which proves to be a moderate challenge and keeps the pace for your walk interesting, too.

Everyone knows that drinking wine and driving don't mix–unless you're not the one doing the driving! Enjoy a classy and unique tour when you let Eugene's Sunshine Limo Service do the driving while you enjoy not only the ride, but a sumptuous bottle of wine on their Oregon Wine Tour. When you take this tour, you'll have the option of choosing which of the area's many wineries you'll visit. Choose from tours to Portland, Salem, Albany, Eugene and Roseburg–all western Oregon destinations. Oregon is the 4th largest wine-producing state in the country, and this tour will highlight some of the area's most inviting vintages.

When you dig deep, you never know what you'll find. Getting below the surface of history and cultural traditions will allow you to gain a deeper understanding, and there's no better place to do that in Eugene than at the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History. Here, the past is present in so many colorful and multidimensional ways. You'll be able to experience an amazing 15,000 years of Oregon's cultural history as well as an equally stunning 200 million years of geology. Get ready, because the trip is a dramatic one, with adventure at nearly every turn.
