The Oregon Zoo is by far one of the best zoo's I have ever been to. In the last few years they have made a lot of changes & remodeled the park to make it more user friendly and expand their selection of animals.

2008 brings a lot of new activities & events that the zoo will be hosting. I have listed them here, although, they are subject to change and the Oregon Zoo website is the best location to get up to date information.
