travel united states oregon portland oregon zoo

We have visited the Oregon Zoo many times over the years.
Since the grandchildren were born, the frequency has increased.
The Oregon Zoo does not compare to some the big world-class zoos like San Diego or Disney's Animal Park, but it seems well run and has a nice manageable collection of animals.
Pathways tend to meander up and down with some steeper sections.
