As first time visitors we were excited to explore Eugene and chose Studio West as one of our first stops. The drive to the studio alone is amazing, it’s grand country side with a clear view of the Cascade mountains and main route to the best wineries was an unexpected benefit. Once off the main road it was a treat to see the wilderness at its best, ducks; deer; sheep; horse farms and more! We were surprise and happy to feel the tranquility of open farm land and its colorful fields. My friends from the city couldn’t stop wowing how beautiful the drive was. We weren’t even to the studio location and we all agreed we had made the right choice. Easy to find and a warm welcome from the owners felt like we had made it home greeted by chickens; ducks; doggies a great chalet home nestled in the woods. Excited to start the glass blowing, Ciara & Alex were informative and caring, sincerely wanting us to have a personalized and great experience. Indeed it was! Truely creative and comitted to their love of art was felt by their professionalism, patience and positive attitude. Studio West exceeded our expectations and the experience we had is still the main highlite we talk about to our family and friends. Can’t wait for our next visit!

Home of the Oregon Ducks college track & field team, this iconic venue is a must see for those that like track & field. Host of the Olympic Trials, NCAA Championships and The Prefontaine Classic.

It's unbelievable what you can find at this museum on the University of Oregon campus. It's like a set of samples from top-notch museums all over the world. You can bump into an extensive Asian collection, Renaissance art, classic 20th century photography, avant-garde latin-american artists, and constantly changing high-end exhibits: statues by Ai Weiwei, a Botticelli, a Picasso, a Van Gogh, with several deep and wonderfully curated exhibits. Really more than you can see in a day. And a nice café!
7. Autzen Stadium

What a terrific college atmosphere. From massive tailgates around the stadium to great seats everywhere you go. Such a fun time, UofO is the home of the filming of Animal house and they are very proud of this herititage. The second half of all home games features a crowd raising rendition of "Shout" where everyone is ready to party or move by this time. Cool places to go at halftime with games and bounces for big and little kids and lots of drink choices at the far end of the stadium. We went in a big group which made it extra fun. But, this was not our first rodeo at Autzen, just first civil war game. Hoping there will be many more years to visit the mighty ducks and their exciting team.

The Shelton McMurphey Johnson House is Eugene, Oregon's Victorian house museum. It is open for tours and available for rentals. On display are period furniture, glassware, and photos of historic Eugene, as well as changing exhibits.
Reviewed By Expedition601587
The Shelton McMurphey Johnson House has been a landmark in Eugene for more than a century and is our favorite stop on our Eugene tour. Although many changes have been made over the years, the house – with its carved and turned exterior woodwork, polygonal tower, ornate open porches, and large bay windows – remains Eugene’s most elaborate example of late-Victorian Queen Anne Revival style architecture.
