Family friendly Portland day trips?

[johnpalmer]

I have a friend here at work who'd like to take a trip to Portland - he has two youngish children (one under 2) and would like to know what to do while down there. Besides hitting Buffalo Wild Wings to score me a lot of wing sauce, I mean.

Anyone out there have any ideas?

The Lan Su Chinese Gardens has an exhibit called "Landscape in Miniature" which might interest the kids. IKEA, if they haven't been to one, is amusing ... and tiring (pre-nap trip). The waterfalls at Silve Falls State Park, but involves hiking. The ocean. Russell Street BBQ, which includes vegan BBQ (I've been told it's quite good).
