Deborah Hartman: The Portland Art Museum is offering special times for meditation among the works in the current "Disquieted" exhibit. Read more.
Coco: I truly appreciate fine arts so i'm really happy i had the chance to visit this place. Wish i had more time though. Incredible and fascinating arts they have. My favorite is Vision of Fiammetta, 1878
ELS Language Centers: This is the 7th oldest museum in the US, and the oldest in the Pacific Northwest. Free every 4th Friday of every month, 5-8 pm.
James: My favorite place here is the big open area that you can go and sit at. It's surrounded by roses and it's so relaxing
HISTORY: Opened in 1917, the garden houses over 7,000 rose plants of approx. 550 varieties. It's the oldest continuously operating public rose test garden & exemplifies Portland's nickname 'The City of Roses'.
Braden Pleggenkuhle: Good for walking around after going to voodoo donuts
Paul Lewandowski: Big park with lots to do: playground, trail, off-leash area, pond - great place.
Jill P: FAVORITE. This is like wonderland in a city park. The trees are enormous -- this park reminds me that I'm small -- and apparently you can watch Star Trek reenactment rehearsals here too.
Kristina King: Fashion tip: dresses don't go with jeans, especially of the wide-leg sort. #hippies

Daniel Pollack-Pelzner: The savory galette is divine, and don't miss the tea cake in season.
The Culinary Institute of America: Sample a pastry, dessert, or baked good from CIA alumnus Julie Richardson! She owns Baker & Spice with her husband, Matt Kappler.
Shawn Vitt: There's nothing I'd rather grab than a Katie Bun. Or two.
meredith kerekes: Best place to spend a contemplative afternoon. Grab some tea (oolong is best) and enjoy the view.
HISTORY: The garden opened in 2000. Most of the plants featured in the garden are indigenous to China, but no plants were brought from China due to import bans. Some plants in the garden are 100 years old.
K12 Inc: Did you know? China’s 31,000 native plants, some of which can be found nowhere else on Earth, represent nearly 1/8th of the world’s total plant species.
Grant Kruger: Nice park with a lot of open sky. In summer there is a waterfall-type wading pool that the kids love, and we adult like the positive, happy kid energy.
Alan George: If you bring you young kids here, plan for them to get wet. Relax. Roll with it. They're kids.
Colby Aley: Fun place to enjoy the sun.
