Walking in Portland

Portland is one of the most walkable cities I have been to. The blocks are smaller than average city blocks, so when you are told to go 5 blocks, it is still a relative short distance, not a mile. Downtown waterfront has walking paths and a promenade on both the west and east side, with bridges to cross the river every 5-6 blocks. The public artwork on the street level and building architecture make a walk interesting and appealing. The city is also known for its parks, so there is always a green area to walk to and rest as needed. The stores are open late so there is always a bustle of people walking around town.

Willamette Jetboats rocks

This is a great trip for ages 0-99 to learn more about Portland and its history while still having lots of fun!
I took my family on Willamette Jetboats for fathers day and had an absolute blast. They take you past the large ships, dry docks, Lake Oswego mansions and all the way to the Oregon City Falls. They also do some crazy 360 degree turns that will rock your world. Be prepared to get wet though, this is not for those faint of water.

Location: right next to OMSI

Keywords: Less than 3 hours, In the city, Boat Tour, Everyone, Summer (June - August), US$ 26 - US$ 50
