This is a fun hike about a 30 minute drive from the Portland area! If it's a nice day, it definitely makes for a great afternoon activity!
This should be absolutely gorgeous in the spring for a morning or afternoon of wandering around and taking in the PNW beauty
This is a really fun science museum in the heart of Portland. You do have to buy tickets to get in, but there are typically fun exhibits to check out that rotate every few months! OMSI-after-dark is a 21+ event where you get to check out the exhibits but with alcohol. :)
For those looking for an eclectic Portland experience, the Whiskey Library is truly unique! It's best to go here in the afternoon to check it out, as evening hours were members only.
Doughnuts don't get much more unique than this. Check out this popular Oregon doughnut place for some creative twists on the modern classics! Some are so obsessed with Voodoo that they can even get married here.
