The public library in Corvallis has a wonderful kids floor. It is downstairs and they have an activity corner for little ones with puppets, puzzles and toys. Plus many activities and programs.
Downtown there are many specialty shops and restaurants. There are/were a couple of childrens toy shops that are very unique.
Papa's pizza has a huge playroom for kids filled with slides, play structures, ball pit and more. My son always has a blast there.

But do they have text based buffalo hunting?

Papa's pizza......we practically lived at the one here in Portland a few years back when my son was younger.

For pizza downtown I always head to Escape From New York on 23rd. It's simple, no frills and unexplainably good. Afterward it's up the street to Moonstruck Chocolate for a so-good-it-should-be-illegal truffle and Mexican Hot Chocolate, then finish off with a good stout at McMennimans.

Flying Pie Pizza is good too, but I'm always so excited for New York that we go there right away.

If you're into beer, definitely hit the Rogue Brewery. Get the sampler. It's around ten bucks and they bring out a plank with (if I'm remembering correctly) six or seven little beers on it. It's truly Homer Heaven. And their food is second to none.

Flying Pie(a dangerous 4 blocks from my business) now has a 3 screen Movie Theater next door.

Wow, Escape from New York brings back some memories.

There's an Escape from New York pizza chain in San Francisco and I've always wondered if the Portland place turned into a chain or if it is just the same name.
