Travelers have been flocking to Portland, Oregon lately -- in fact there's been a 28% increase in tourists to the unofficial hipster city in the past five years, according to the Port of Portland. If you're headed there for work, you'll certainly want to check out the cool cafes, bookstores, and food trucks that line the city's blocks.
But the coolest thing to see in the area is an hour north at the Zoological Wildlife Conservation Center, in Rainier, Ore. The center, which saves animals at risk in the wild, has a sloth sanctuary -- its most popular attraction. During an hour-long visit, you'll learn about sloths, see them in action (or lack thereof -- they're slow), and feed them. Cost is $100 per person on a Saturday, or $300 for a private visit any day of the week for up to three people.
If that's not enough sloth time, you could even have a sleepover at the sanctuary. You'll arrive at 8 p.m. and depart at 7:30 a.m. -- perfect for watching sloths, who are most active at night. It's a bit humid in the sloth house, but you'll have satellite TV and a comfy tent with a cot to help you relax. An overnight stay costs $600 a night for double occupancy.
