Things to check out around Moda Center?

You will definitely want to check out a restaurant at the very least. There is not much else around really. You can schedule a group tour of certain facilities; that’s an option. Other than that, enjoy some food, drinks, and the event. However, downtown is not far at all (less than a mile walk across the bridge or a quick bus ride away) and neither are other parts of NE Portland with other activities available such as galleries and shops. With Portland, it’s really just a bus ride away.
