Embark on a journey through the Portland Japanese Garden, hailed as “the most authentic Japanese garden outside of Japan.” As you roam through, you'll find that there are five main gardens: Flat Garden, Strolling Pond Garden, The Tea Garden, Natural Garden, and Sand and Stone Garden. Tranquility and lovely scenery are guaranteed here.
Dinner and happy hour, a DJ and cocktails; it's all part of the routine at Saucebox. Art adorns the walls at this popular and swanky nightlife venue as music remains an essential part of the lounge's atmosphere. While you're here, trying something from the menu is a must.
Take the family out for some fun at Electric Castle's Wunderland. The kids can run wild and conquer over 100 arcade games like ski ball, racing games, hydro boat racing, and other favorites. After you've burned all that energy on games, check out a movie together at the Avalon Theatre.
For adventure within the city, climb to the summit of Council Crest to get a supreme view of Portland and surrounding areas. The 3.3 mile hike boasts an elevation gain of 820-feet, making the climb quite a workout if exercise is what you're looking for. This hike is a great way to see the city and commune with the nature that lives within it.
