Sorry, but — NO ADULTS ALLOWED — this one is for the kids. Grown-up, please hand this over to your little one. Got it, kiddo? Let’s plan a family day together. Here’s a fun schedule for you to try.
Morning
Be a chef and cook breakfast for the adults at home. The night before, ask your family to choose from one of these recipes . Don’t be afraid to ask for help if any of the instructions seem confusing.
While you eat, talk about your plan for the day. Ask your family to help you prepare a backpack with things you’ll need. We suggest bringing:
🍫 Plenty of snacks like granola bars
💧 A water bottle
🧢 A hat
If you have time before heading to lunch, play at the playground at Gabriel Park . Maybe pay a visit to the PDX Minifig Exchange or Robot Alley .
Afternoon
For lunch, head to Grassa for rigatoni or some slurp-worthy spaghetti. After you’ve filled your belly, spend the afternoon exploring OMSI . What are you looking forward to most? Exploring the universe in the Kendall Planetarium? Or using the forces in the Physics Lab?
Evening
Wrap up the day with a family dinner. Head to one of our local farmers markets
to pick out foods you can make together. Over dinner, talk about everything you did today. Ask questions like:
- What was something new you learned?
- What was something funny that happened?
- What would we do differently if we did that again?
- What do you definitely want to do again? (And again and again…)
Grown-ups — send us more family-friendly recommendations and we may just feature them in an upcoming newsletter.
