Local Things To Do

These are some of our favorite spots for activities adults & kids can enjoy within a few miles of the Bungalow! There is also a ton to do downtown Portland, but those things are much easier to learn about...if you want to stay closer to home & explore the east side of the river, you'll find lots of great things to do! *Please note that as of Jan 2021, several of these places are closed or have altered hours due to the pandemic. Please be sure to look online before you go!

Multnomah Falls is an Oregon Must-See! It is stunning to see from the highway, but so much better up close, or even really up close from the view on the bridge in the middle of the falls! Grab a bite or a drink at the beautiful lodge before you go.

Reizen met kinderen

Much to see & do beyond NE Portland!

While we are partial to our neighborhood and Portland’s East side in particular, exploring the city’s center downtown is a must & is an easy bus or light rail ride away. Walk the boardwalk along the Willamette River, shop the eclectic local Saturday Market, explore Chinatown, eat at any of the amazing restaurants in the Pearl District, get lost in Portland’s famous Powell’s Books, visit the art museum, and trek up to Washington Park & wander the Oregon Zoo, the Hoyt Arboretum, the Japanese Gardens, the International Rose Gardens, and the 15 miles of forested trails surrounding it all.
