Attractions: Especially for Kids Frommer

In addition to the attractions listed here, the kids will likely enjoy the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, which has lots of hands-on exhibits, and the Oregon Zoo. From inside the zoo, it's possible to take a small train through Washington Park to the International Rose Test Garden, below which there is the Rose Garden Children's Park, a colorful play area for younger children. The Salmon Street Springs fountain, in downtown's Tom McCall Waterfront Park (at SW Naito Parkway and SW Salmon Street), is another fun place to take the kids. During hot summer months, there are always lots of happy kids playing in the jets of water that erupt from the pavement here. There are also big lawns here in Waterfront Park, so the kids can run off plenty of excess energy.
