Internet Friends familiar with Portland, Oregon, Sarah and I will be visiting for our first time on vacation. I'm looking for recommendations for things to do and see, the weirder, the better! Thanks ☺

I'm only a wee bit familiar - we spent a night in Portland and did as much as we could. Do you wanna do super touristy stuff? Do you enjoy craft beer/liquor?
Regardless of those things, I *highly* recommend 'Hopscotch'. It's an art exhibit that's also an experience. It was *so fun*.
Thank you, Hopscotch looks right up our alley! We're interested in both touristy and local scene. I don't drink, so not much interest in the bar scene. A few things we are looking into are the zoo, Japanese garden, peculiarium, odditorium, Bigfoot center, movie madness, comic shops, etc.
We're also going to check out the local fabric stores. Portland appears to have several local business options compared to our town only having a Joann.
We tried to do the Japanese Garden, but the parking lot was totally full up, so I recommend doing that earlier in the day. Locals will tell you not to do Voodoo Donuts, but we went (plus the Keep Portland Weird sign is across the st!) and have zero regrets. Also Mills End Park is freakin cute.
