Things to see and do around Portland with Children

Looking for something fun to do with the kids.  Head to downtown Portland where there is lots to see and explore.  Ride a bike along the river, get wet in one of downtown's many fountains or enjoy a sweet treat.  There is lots to do and see!  Or if you want to get out of town head out to the country for a fun day of nature.

"Eastbank Esplanade"
The Esplanade, the perfect place for a lesiurely, picturesque stroll or a bike ride is 1.5 miles long along the Willamette River  With views of  the Morrison, Burnside and Steel bridges the walkway connects to eastside neighborhoods as well as across the river to Gov. Tom McCall Waterfront Park.

Cross over the walkway along the Steel bridge to reach downtown Portland and the Saturday Market on weekends.

"Portland Fountains Walking Tour"
What better way to see and enjoy downtown Portland than take a walking tour of all the wonderful fountains. The fountains operate spring through fall, 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. With 13 fountains in the downtown area there is plenty to see and on a hot day it is a great way to cool off!  Be sure and visit the Portland Water Bureau's website and print off a map of all the fountain locations.

"Two Tarts Bakery"
Two Tarts Bakery is located  just off the NW 23rd shopping area of Portland.  After a morning of shopping and wandering be sure and stop into Two Tarts Bakery for a treat.  Originally a booth at the Portland Farmer's Market it is now a full fledged bakery.  What I love most about Two Tarts is that everything there is bite size!  That way you can taste one of everything.

They have a great little area for the kids to sit, relax and do a bit of coloring while mom and dad enjoy their treats too!

Be sure and check out the toy store right next door!

"Portland Central Library"
Located in downtown Portland and built in 1913 the  historic Central Library has been called Portland's crown jewel.  With over 17 miles of bookshelves and 2 million items to be checked out there is lots to explore.  Don't just look at books though, be sure and  take time to discover the stunning ceilings, windows and architectural details that make this library so unique.
