This review is from: Fun with the Family in Oregon: Hundreds of Ideas for Day Trips with the Kids (Paperback)

A great book for anyone with kids in Oregon. It will keep us busy for years. It has details about local city parks to large well-known attractions like Crater Lake. Plus there are extra tips on lodging and kid-friendly restaurants. We found a park with an old train engine in our own city I didn't even know was there.
