Things to Do While You're In Portland


THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO HERE!

Portland Rose Festival Opening Weekend Celebration
Fireworks kick-off downtown on the riverfront on Friday, 5/28 at 10 pm. The Waterfront Village (carnival, food, fun) will also open at Waterfront Park.

Shopping
Woodburn Company Stores, the world's greatest outlets! Located off I-5 at exit 271. Downtown Portland shops and nearby Pearl District boutiques.

Dining, Family Activities, Attractions
Great dining options are close to both hotels and throughout the city. The Oregon Zoo and Portland Children’s Museum can be easily accessed via the light-rail MAX train from downtown. The Oregon Museum of Science & Industry (OMSI) is across the river from
downtown and is a nice walk or quick drive from The Paramount.

Golfing (reservations can be made online)
Oregon Golf Association (OGA) home course is near Woodburn Company Stores. Langdon Farms is near Wilsonville. There are also many other public courses around the area. Stone Creek Golf Course is in Oregon City, just off I-205.

For other things to see and do, go to Travel Portland. There are also some very helpful printable maps on their site.
