In town

Tin Pan Alley art collection in Bend, OR

While you’re out on the hiking trails, ski slopes, and lakes, don’t forget one key thing: Bend’s the epicenter of it all. We’re a mountain town, sure. But we’re also a town teeming with top-notch shopping, museums, galleries, and other indoorsy fun. Feel like sticking close to your Bend hotel? We promise there’s a park within a mile of you, since Bend boasts more than 80 of them. Looking to play disc golf or scale a volcano (as one does)? You can do that in town, too! From breweries to bowling alleys, trampoline parks to day spas, there’s a little of everything in our high desert oasis. Where would you like to start?
