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.

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.

The Willamette River runs through Eugene and is a proven source of fun, recreation and relaxation for all who spend time either on its shores or in its refreshing waters. Canoeing, rafting, swimming and fishing are just a few of the watersports activities that many visitors enjoy.

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.
