Eugene Friend Recreation Center

A playground beside a ball field, basketball court and community garden, so there is room for a group with mixed ages.

Casual sushi from an omakase team. Inari and rice bowls are the easy wins for a kid new to raw fish.

Working presses and binding machines in a small SoMa workshop, demonstrated by volunteers. Better with kids who like to see how things are made.

Huge bowls of pho and crisp imperial rolls in a small, no-frills room.

Free to enter, with an indoor grotto, waterfall, tiny fairytale hut and rooms that feel more fantastical than a normal art museum.

Burritos built to order since 1991, with chips and salsa on the table. Only a handful of tables, so plan on takeaway if it's busy.
