Family Vacations in Portland, Oregon
Portland is recognized as one of the most livable cities in the United States. Part of being livable is being family-friendly, so a vacation in Portland can focus on the family-friendly attractions. The most obvious is the abundance of accessible parkland within the city limits. Long or short hikes and bike trips can be scheduled with a return to the hotel area for dinner and a movie.
The Oregon Zoo, the Childrens Museum and OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) are all top-rated attractions suited for most kids. The zoo features animals in their natural habitats from the African Savannah to sea lions in coastal caves. The Children's Museum is best suited to the under-10 set, while OMSI is more for older kids (and their parents and grandparents). Kids will love the excitement of a jetboat tour on the Willamette River, leaving from OMSI and heading upstream to Oregon City. Expect 37 miles of scenery, excitement and getting wet.
