    I have lived in Portland for many years and had never seen the center.
    It was interactive, interesting and worth my time.
    Would have done 5 stars but the covered wagons aren't covered. This was such a landmark!

    The staff was friendly and very helpful. The museum contained interesting exhibits and historical information. It is worth your time if you want to know a little bit more about Oregon and specifically how the Willamette River shaped its development.

    suggest you take the time to check out all side roads and the bridge at 7th street to peek at the falls.

    I feel like I went back to the 1900's movie. The elevator is big but slow, which would have been annoying if it were an elevator at office building. However, the ride itself is an experience, indirectly feeling the history. The top level is connected to the promenade, which is a good for walk.

    Always enjoy a walk through the park when the sun is out and boaters are on the water. Nice shady areas for picnic lunch, or sometimes we just grab a hamburger from McDonald's on our way into the park.

    McLoughlin House provides its visitors with an enriching education about Oregon City and Oregon itself. Would definitely recommend visiting this historical home.

    This promenade is connected to the municipal elevator. I enjoyed a short walk from the elevator to the waterfalls lookout point.

    Some girlfriends and I did wine tastings here and believe it or not, we all liked ALL of their wines! Plus the folks there were so very friendly that we kinda felt like family! We highly recommend this winery, and certainly will return! Atmosphere is a bit rustic, but it’s the wines that shine!

    Great site on the top of a hill with a green house style tasting room.

    The tasting cost $10 with $5 being able to be applied to wine purchase.

    We tried 7 with the pinot gris, house red blend , Cabernet, and the very fruity dessert wine being our fabricates

    The dessert wine is so thick and delicious that it could be poured over a snow cone..

    Lovely trip through time, make sure to give yourself more then 30 minutes to while taking a tour. Our 4 & 6 yr old grand daughter loved hearing the stories and asking lots of questions. Tons of items to look through and very knowledgable lady & gentlemen there to answer all your questions.

    Wonderfully entertaining. The talent was exceptional. Standouts were the actresses who played Bloody Mary (appreciated her beautiful voice and hula) and Nellie Frobush (great energy) and the actor playing Emile deBeck-obviously a Broadway veteran-also an amazing performance.
    Highly recommended!
