Rose City Vision Care

Check out a concert at Portland's Wonder Ballroom. This entertainment venue brings live music to its stage several times a month. Metric, Tiger Army, Citizen Cope, The Wailers, Hot Hot Heat, and The Wallflowers are just a few bands who've performed here. After the show, head to the Under Wonder Lounge, the venue's basement cafe. The cafe serves up some good food and tasty cocktails.

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.

See a little piece of literature that's been brought to life and immortalized at the Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden. The sculptures here were created in the likeness of Cleary's most beloved characters, Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and the Huggins' dog Ribsy. The statues are complete with fountains that create a fun environment to play, and also feature plaques with the titles of Cleary's Portland-based stories.
