We love and miss drive thru zoo lights (should have been kept after the pandemic!! It was awesome!) and we're looking for a good substitute. The grotto is gorgeous. Peaceful, serene, lovely. However, minus one star for almost 40 bucks for 2 people. It's not a big installation, not a lot to do, and while lovely that is quite a bit of money. What I don't know is where the proceeds go, and I'm sure it's publicly accessible and no I haven't looked. So if it goes to a great cause, great - advertise that more. But I think ten bucks, maybe - would be about a good amount for this experience.

My wife, mother-in-law, and I had the opportunity to travel through the Portland International…read moreAirport for a quick sightseeing trip in Spring of 2026. We got to see the beauty of the massive airport expansion that completed in 2024, along with the friendly kindness of the employees. I now understand why PDX is ranked the best airport in America. It's been over 20 years since I last visited Portland (not counting the Amtrak that we took from LA to SEA), so the airport was very new to me. We need wheelchair assistance when traveling with Mom, and an assistant was waiting for us at the jet bridge. He took us through the parking garage to the nearby car rental building. Definitely walkable but busy: later we learned that there is an underground, heated tunnel between the building and airport terminal. What really interested me about the airport was how everything was connected. It consists of only one terminal, split into two sides: North and South (each with its own security checkpoint); four concourses (A-D), with Concourse B and C on the south end. All concourses are connected via airside corridors (no need for intra-airport train or shuttles), with some having moving walkways. There are a total of 60 gates. We got to experience the airport a lot more on our way back to LAX. Dropping off our rental car was easy (actually got someone to acknowledge our return of the car, which isn't common anymore at airport returns). There is no rental shuttle, so asked the nice Dollar attendant, who then called Delta to ask for wheelchair assistance (she needed to know the name and flight number). In about 15 minutes, Curtis came by and took Mom to the various stops, with my wife and I tagging along. Like at other airports, a good attendant can greatly simplify the navigation of an airport, especially through the security lines. We needed to check one bag (had bought some craft beer to bring back), and Curtis waited patiently while I interacted with the super nice Delta agent. While waiting, my wife told me later that Curtis had been like a tour guide, explaining the airport expansion, especially the iconic wood ceiling in the main hall. North Security was next. Security has all the newest processes, including TSA touchless ID, which meant we didn't need to show our IDs or boarding passes. We were flying out of Concourse D, so went to the Escape Lounge in the Concourse. That's where Curtis left us, letting us know that he would leave the wheelchair in case we would later need it. On our return flight, we had a chance to interact with A LOT of workers from the airport, and EVERYONE was genuinely talkative and pleasant. I'm sure it has something to do with that it was a Saturday, but as we talked to Curtis, he stated that most folks at PDX were like that. Of course, a modern destination airport has to have affordable light rail connections, with connections into the heart of the city. Portland has this route running every 15 minutes, costing $2.80 for a 40 minute ride. Will visit downtown Portland via rail next time.

Happy hour does not leave you THAT happy. Couple bucks off. Mixed drinks are fine. Staff is pleasant for the most part. Seattle frost really is PNW frost if you ask me.

The freezing cold. But even in the dead of winter, we deserve this resort-style pool day, if we do say so ourselves. They provide a nice private bathroom for changing and a shower for cleaning up afterwards. Nothing beats a hot shower after being in chlorine. They can't promise the sun, but they can promise some fun with the indoor pool. May be the thing to chase the winter blues away. It's the PNW, it's winter most of the time!

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then 3 Diamonds in-door pool is just what you have been looking for. Diana and Rick are wonderful hosts and welcomed us to their in-door pool and were wonderful hosts during our 2 hour swim. In addition to jazz music playing in the background, they have everything you need. There is a mini fridge with a variety of waters and fizzy waters as well as snacks available. The private bathroom, where you can change in privacy, also has a shower, soap, and towels available. Once you are ready to get into the warm pool, they have ride-on-inflatables, rings, beach balls, dive toys, floating basketball, pool volleyball and much more. So what are you waiting for? Book your pool time, grab your swimsuits and head on over! You can swim laps, play a game of Marco Polo, enjoy floating and chatting with friends or getting in those laps.

They can you DL in this machine and then you have to show your DL again when you leave the lot. I did get upgraded without asking so that was pretty awesome seeing how I waited so long.

Teriyaki salmon tacos -- s are lemon is chopped to consistency of cat food and swimming in very wet teriyaki sauce, AND topped with MUCH mayo sauce. Can't even taste the salmon. Hands fun, the worst tacos I've had after 26 years in Oregon. STRIKE THREE. Also, they allow dogs on the deck.
