You and the kids will learn a lot as you explore the exhibits and attractions at the Portland Children's Museum. The exhibits here encourage touching, playing and experiencing education first hand. Some of the features include Building Bridgetown, The Clay Studio, Pet Hospital, Play It Again Theater, and Twilight Trail, among others.
Enjoy some of Portland's outdoor beauty as you explore the area surrounding Forest Park Wildwood Trails. The trails stretch around 40 miles and in the wilderness throughout live a variety of mammals, birds, and lush vegetation. With much of the park overlooking the Willamette River, you're guaranteed some of the best views of the city.
Get the most peaceful view of the city possible from above on an aerial tour with Portland Rose Hot Air Balloons. You'll see the Willamette Valley, Lake Oswego, various vineyards, and all the glory of Oregon from the open space of a hot air balloon. Upon landing you'll feast on a champagne brunch and revel in the memories of your adventure.
Appreciate the life of the outdoors as you take in the sights at the Smith and Bybee Wetlands Natural Area. As America's largest protected urban wetland, this natural area is home to animals like beavers, river otters, bald eagles, turtles, osprey and more. While Bybee Lake serves as a preserve, Smith Lake is a popular destination for light water recreation like fishing or canoeing.
