The Oregon Zoo is an excellent for a date, or for a family outing. As a large family we have bought the family membership and it makes it so worth it. I highly recommend it, if you live in the metro area. It is a big zoo with lots to see, so with membership you can leave after only an hour or so, and not feel like you've waisted your money. We break up the zoo in sections for each visit. Parking is free if you are a member, so that is a plus. You will want to get there early to get a place to park on the weekends, well even during the week. My only complaint is the big cats exhibit. Every time we go to the zoo we never get to see them, because they are hiding, or inside.
