Pegasus Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 DD15 and I will be traveling to Eugene, OR in early December to help a family member for several days. I want to also include some fun activities and just haven't had time to overly research and plan like I normally do. So far, I'm thinking about: 1. Visiting the raptor center. DD volunteered for a while at our local raptor center so I think she would really enjoy this. 2. Possibly drive to the coast one day to the sea lions. Paying to see the "sea lion caves" has very mixed reviews. 3. Roam the campus of the Univ of Oregon, check out their museum of natural/cultural history. I think there is a play or holiday show on campus while we will be there (can't remember exactly). 4. Rent bikes from a local shop and hit the trails along the river. I would really appreciate some advice from folks in the area on these and other things to do in the area. What is not to be missed? What should be skipped given our limited fun time? Thank you!

DragonFaerie Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I've never been, but if I were to visit Eugene, I'd totally have to go to Voodoo Donuts. :D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali in OR Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 So we're chatting about this at the dinner table and youngest says, "When we go to Eugene, we go shopping or to the hospital." My disabled dd's neurologist is there, so I think that's what she means by going to the hospital, and of course whenever we go we usually do some shopping at Valley River Center (no real mall where we live). Your list sounds good to me--we've never done any of that! Oh wait, we did see the sea lions and thought they were worth it, but we went in July, not December. But I think we'd skip the biking in December. It's typically cold and rainy here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the feedback. We'll definitely keep the weather in mind for any outdoor activities. I've also scoped out the local library locations. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
