A Caring Choice

Take the time to stop by and see one of the city's most significant pieces of public art, Portlandia. Located at the Michael Graves' Portland Building entrance, the statue is a reincarnation of the city seal, designed as a woman holding a trident and welcoming visitors to the building. The statue is the second largest copper repousse in the nation, surpassed only by the Statue of Liberty.

Enjoy a soak in a nature-provided hot tub at Bagby Hot Springs. This cozy natural tub is created by two hot springs flowing together into a rush of cold springs, creating a 136-degree relaxing oasis. These hot springs have three bathhouses that include communal hot tubs, private stalls, and “canoe-style tubs” - take your pick and get ready to relax.

Keep date night simple, yet romantic on a sweet date at Cool Moon Ice Cream. This ice cream parlor has just about every flavor of ice cream that you and your date could want, from vanilla to gingerbread, chocolate, raspberry, espresso, peanut butter and dozens of others.
