What are your favorite indoor attractions?

Fall is here and this week we are reminded why Oregon is so beautifully green... Rain and lots of it. It's been awhile for most Oregonians and some welcome the refreshing rain while others frown upon the thoughts that summer is behind us. The fall weather is definitely here but with the new season brings new things to do and places to visit.

We love the outdoors but sometimes we don't feel like putting on our jackets and fighting the elements. Sitting at home watching television is out of the question, we're looking for something a little more exciting then an old re-run or the newest reality TV show. What's your favorite indoor attraction in Oregon when sitting at home is out of the question? We're fans of indoor water parks, bowling alleys or family entertainment centers when the weather doesn't cooperate.

We would love to hear from you and find out what are your favorite attractions. Leave a comment or visit us at www.oregonattractions.org.
