Zoo's gone wild!
Crazy spring break action that's not available on video! The zoo throws a tropical party to celebrate spring break, with daily animal enrichment activities and keeper talks. Bears will get papier-mâché fish to tear into, and lorikeets (thanks, Google!) will get to pick at fruit leis. On Sunday, there's a science show with Flumpa the tree frog and Wendy the scientist at 1 and 2:30 p.m. Free with admission. All ages. Oregon Zoo, 4001 S.W. Canyon Road, Portland.

Oh, sure, that.
Nanotechnology, natch. I was either going to watch a little SpongeBob or head down to the opening of OMSI's newest exhibit, Intro to Nano. Hmmm....semiconductors...or Squidward? Actually, wouldn't miss the chance to see what one billion (and one billionth) of something looks like, explore the properties of a quantum dot, and watch floating "molecules" behave in an orderly fashion on an air hockey table. (And psst...the museum is open daily through April 5 for you spring-breakers!) Free with admission. All ages. OMSI, 1945 S.E. Water Ave., Portland. Sunday, March 29, 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
