A few months ago we launched a new addition to our website: Metro Parent Family Fun Pages ! It’s a one-stop site for information about family-friendly destinations, educational adventures, arts-related events, restaurants, physical fun, day trips and much more. You’ll find lots of informative reviews of fabulous places to go with your kids, too, and we add more every week. Ever heard of the Bike Farm ? Read about this northeast Portland nonprofit collective dedicated to educating people of all ages about cycling, including safe riding and bike maintenance on our Family Fun pages! How about the Tillamook Forest Center ? We’ve got the scoop on how to get there, what to do once you’re there and what ages will enjoy it most. Even though summer is winding down, that’s no reason to stop exploring the Portland metro area with your kids. Check out our reviews of Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden , Bishop’s Close and Whitaker Ponds , then plan your next weekend or day-off-of-school adventure! We really want these pages to provide all the information you might need to make the most of the family-friendly attractions and activities in the Portland area – and all at the click of a mouse!
