Are you interested in crab life cycles, the salmon journeys or even dolphin behavior? The Oregon State University's Hatfield Marine Science Center might just be able to help you. Pick up your "Passport to the Ocean" from the Kid's Zone Tent and keep checking out the questions on it as you find answers during your tour. At the end of the tour, you get a gift just for participating. Check out the dozens of exhibits created only for the fest—sea urchins, sea horses, anemones, and hold your breath—the giant Pacific octopus. Clear all your queries on fishing, tsunamis, and shark attacks, while your children go gaga over the marine specimens!

Canby Ferry


Country river crossing
Where the Willamette River meets Southwest Mountain Road and North Locust Street
Portland, OR 97002
United States
+1 503 650 3030 / +1 800 348 8401 (toll free)
http://www.ohwy.com/or/c/canby...
This nine-car barge is ferried across the Willamette River by an underwater cable. Operating almost continuously since 1914, the boat resembles a trolley connected to an overhead electric power supply. The cost is $1.25 per car and the ride is an essential part of your leisure visit to Southeast Portland. Expect a wait, the ferry is one of the few ways to cross the river in this part of town, making it very popular with commuters. Note that this business accepts only cash.

Hawthorne District


Hip hippy hangout
Hawthorne Boulevard
(from 17th to 43rd avenues)
Portland, OR 97214
United States
+1 503 222 2223 (Portland Oregon Visitors Association)
Twenty-first century hippies constitute most of the population in this popular southeast neighborhood. Colorful boutiques, bookshops and eateries saturate the district. You will be hard-pressed to find an establishment here that is duplicated anywhere else. This is the counterpart to Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco. It is a fun place to spend the afternoon, even if you never followed the Grateful Dead. Credit card acceptance varies by shop.

Hollywood Bowl


Fun and exercise
4030 Northeast Halsey Street
Portland, OR 97232
United States
+1 503 288 9237
Can you still bowl for a buck a game? You can if you come here on Sundays. The usual charge is $2.75 per person/game and $3 after 6pm, except on Sundays! This favorite spot in the trendy Hollywood District features a diverse crowd. You will find the typical elderly league bowlers in the mornings and afternoons, and a wilder crowd for Monte Carlo (7p) and Rock 'N Bowl (10pm) on Saturdays. Enjoy a break at the full-service, onsite bar and restaurant.

Hollywood District


Sandy Boulevard
Northeast Sandy Boulevard
(between 39th and 60th avenues)
Portland, OR 97213
United States
Sandy Boulevard slices diagonally through Portland's east side. This section of Sandy, a popular shopping district and trendy neighborhood, forms the core of Northeast Portland. You will not find any stars on the sidewalks or any concerts at the Hollywood Bowl, but the neighborhood is full of stores and restaurants: A-Boy Electric, Just 4 Kids, Poor Richard's and the Hollywood Burger Bar, to name a few. This is another Portland area on the rise, and it shows. Credit card acceptance varies by establishment.

Jungle Gym


Low-key neighborhood gym
4246 Southeast Belmont Street
Portland, OR 97215
United States
+1 503 236 2442
This small neighborhood gym verges on the rinky-dink. There's only one bathroom/locker room that members take turns using. Don't look for cups by the water cooler, because management enforces a strict BYOWB (bring your own water bottle) policy. Still, it's kind of charming and totally unpretentious. Neighborhood folks walk, bike or drive to get a good workout. There's one treadmill, about six stair-climbing machines and six stationary bikes and a whole lot of weight machines and free weights. Cardio kickboxing classes meet at 6:30p Monday through Thursday in a big carpeted area that is used for stretching when class isn't in session.

Just east of Mount Tabor Park, you'll find this charming neighborhood park and pool. In the vicinity of the airport, it's a great place to get in a quick swim before or after your flight. Lap, open and lesson sessions are offered throughout the week. You can even rent the facility for your own event on weekend evenings. The pool is also home to the local Portland Master Swim Team, for swimmers 19 and older.

Mount Tabor Park


Urban volcano
Southeast 60th Ave and Salmon St
Portland, OR 97215
United States
+1 503 823 2223
This 200-acre city park features an extinct volcano, one of the only two urban volcanoes in North America. (The other is in Bend, Oregon.) Climb to the top for one of the best views offered from the Eastside. Lots of open space makes it a good place for Frisbee, basketball, tennis and other activities. There is plenty of room for group picnics, and young children will enjoy the playground area. Conveniently located near the hip Hawthorne District, this is a come-as-you-are park.

Peacock Lane Christmas Lights


Lighting the neighborhood
SE Stark St
(1 block east of SE 39th Ave; SE Stark St to Belmont St)
Portland, OR 97214
United States
Since the 1920s, each house in this quaint southeast area has been required to decorate for Christmas. Mostly Tudors, the houses are adorned with not only beautiful sparkling lights, but also nativity scenes, rotating Christmas trees and stunningly lifelike replicas of Santa and Frosty. Be forewarned: this is a very popular Portland tradition and the crowds become quite thick. It is wise to park several blocks away and walk, rather than drive, through the area.

Rose City Golf Course


One of the oldest
2200 Northeast 71st Avenue
Portland, OR 97213
United States
+1 503 253 4744
This is Oregon's second-oldest golf course, and established, magnificent old trees line the holes of the 6,520-yard course. It is a beautiful yet frustrating course since it only offers narrow fairways. The challenge continues as you play long par-4 holes and take in the views. A popular place with local golfers, it is only 15 minutes from downtown. Golf is about all you will find here. There is no restaurant, only a snack bar; however, there is a small pro-shop.
