~I have never been to the new store is Wilsonville but the Newberg store is amazing. It is the best pet store ever! My daughter and I go there at least twice a month and she loves to wander around and enjoy the animals. Great people and an awesome store. A must for kids!

~We love to go to Critter Cabana!!! They let you hold the animals as long as you ask first and are so nice (even to the non buying visitors). It is easy to spend an hour just playing with the pets. A very original pet shop, a must see!

~Still love the Oregon Zoo. Took my daughter when she was 10 days old. I need the fresh air and the exercise. Just recd a years pass for xmas. Looking forward to going weekly!         Dawn, Mom of 1, Beaverton

~A classic family activity. We love visiting the zoo as a family, or meeting friends during the week. Fun for all ages!

~The zoo is even better when you have a family pass and can drop-in often. I love stopping in after a doctor's appt. to see if our "favorite" polar bears are playing and if the elephants are up to something new. It's a good place for a workout (lots of hills) and also to meet a friend on a dry day (pack a lunch.)    Kym, Mom of 3
