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.

From a dinner cruise with a magic show to a brunch cruise and even a wedding cruise, Portland Spirit Cruises hosts a variety of tour options aboard one of their seafaring vessels. Take your pick: yacht, jet boat, sternwheeler – they're all ready to take you on an excursion over the waters of the Willamette and the Columbia to see the beautiful sights of the city, in a fun and unique way.

If you want to see art, then the First Friday event is where it's at. The event exposes the city's best galleries, exhibit openings, alternative art venues and more. Hosted by Portland's Eastside art galleries, this event takes place the first Friday of every month, and guarantees the best the city's art scene has to offer.

Hang out in the middle of the city at Tryon Creek State Park. This park is the only state park in Oregon to be located within a metropolitan area, meaning you can experience fun outdoors without having to venture too far from the city. Hiking, biking, and nature walking are popular at this park.
