ポートランドのアクティビティ

“Powell’s City of Books is the largest used and new bookstore in the world, occupying an entire city block and housing approximately one million books. Located in downtown Portland’s Pearl District, the City of Books has nine color-coded rooms and over 3,500 different sections, offering something for every interest, including an incredible selection of out-of-print and hard-to-find titles. Dozens of acclaimed writers, artists, and thinkers visit each month to read in the Basil Hallward Gallery (located upstairs in the Pearl Room), and a one-of-a-kind Rare Book Room draws bibliophiles from near and far to browse an impressive collection of autographed first editions and other collectible volumes. ”

“Forest Park is just outside Portland in the Tualatin Mountains. The park stretches for 8 miles and is one of the largest urban forest reserves in the United States. The total area covered is more than 5,000 acres and has over 70 miles of trails for people to explore. The walks are beautiful and cater to a variety of abilities, meaning there is something suitable for everyone. A lot of the area overlooks the Willamette River making the walk even more scenic. A lot of bird’s live within the confines of the park so if you are a keen bird watcher you should bring some binoculars.”

“The Garden sits nestled in the hills of Portland, Oregon’s iconic Washington Park, overlooking the city and providing a tranquil, urban oasis for locals and travelers alike. Designed in 1963, it encompasses 12 acres with eight separate garden styles, and includes an authentic Japanese Tea House, meandering streams, intimate walkways, and a spectacular view of Mt. Hood. This is a place to discard worldly thoughts and concerns and see oneself as a small but integral part of the universe.”

“While I’ve never been drawn to go in for a tour, the walk up to this mansion is a fun uphill work out, and the views from the lawn of the city and Mt. Hood are beautiful!”

“Who else converts a school into a movie theater, bar , restaurant and hotel..Wow.”

“NOT OPEN CURRENTLY, however you can walk up to an old submarine. When it reopens, it’s a lovely science museum for adults and kids alike. If you’re lucky enough to be visiting for one of their OMSI After Dark events, those are highly recommended”

“Roses and views of the city. Ride the Train to the Oregon Zoo, Forestry Center and Children's Museum. Visit the Japanese Garden too all from one parking lot.”

“Oregon Zoo first opened in 1888 when a private collector of animals decided to donate them to the City of Portland. There are approximately 1,955 animals to see in the zoo ranging across 232 species. 21 of the species that live in the zoo are either endangered or threatened and each one is on a breeding program to try and help ensure their survival. One of recent successes has been the breeding of new African Elephants which are always popular with park guests.”

“Laurelhurst Park is a classic city park, with a little of something for everyone. Playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis courts, and on the other side of a quiet road a wide park in the midst of tall trees with a duck pond and fountains. The walking paths are paved and suitable for those of all abilities, and the park has an off-leash area for dogs. There are numerous benches and picnic spots including a few barbecues, so it is easy to spend a whole day there enjoying the people and the park.”

“Many good: restaurants, brew pubs, coffee shops, etc. in the area of the home. Walkable good shopping for groceries. Excellent mass transit options. Great bicycle routes to anywhere in the city. Easy parking. ”

“Check if it’s open before going- this is a HUGE market with lots of local crafts and foods. Local favorite. ”
