The most creative way to explore Portland!

More than a coloring book, follow Colorful Portland's map from St. John's Bridge to hiking the 4T Trail to Council Crest Park, with many colorful stops in between. The whimsical illustrations of this Pacific Northwest gem will delight the most adventurous artist. Creative & educational, at home or on the go!

Ideal for kids and adults, providing countless hours of exploring.

Looking for things to do in Portland? Colorful Portland has you covered.

Get acquainted with the city by riding the MAX Light Rail, view Portland's skyline from the Aerial Tram, get lost in Powell's City of Books, spin a 360 at Burnside Skatepark, or command a US Naval submarine at OMSI. Visit the very tall Paul Bunyan Statue, giggle with the mandrill monkey at the Oregon Zoo or cross-country ski at the base of Mt. Hood. Forage throughout the city's many farmers markets, explore farm-to-table dinners on Sauvie Island or savor the sweet, unconventional treats of Voodoo Doughnuts.

There are many fun ways to use Colorful Portland! Drop a pencil on the map or play "page roulette" to determine where you will explore. Make it an educational challenge to learn about a location or create art for your walls by removing the perforated illustrations.

  • 31 illustrations "we provide the lines so you can create the art"
  • One-sided printing on high-quality paper reduces marker and gel pen bleed
  • Top binding eliminates smudging for both left and right-handed artists
  • Perforated pages ensure seamless removal allowing illustrations to become instant art pieces
  • Designed, illustrated and printed 100% in the USA  

The Colorful Cities "Explore & Color"® series brings vibrant cities alive through playful illustrations, city maps and location descriptions. Designed for children of all ages, the books' combination travel guide and coloring book encourages creative exploration of cultures and places. Coloring that's educational. Other books in the series include: Colorful Tokyo, Colorful Seattle, Colorful Chicago and Colorful Havana.

From every sale of Colorful Portland - Explore & Color, a donation is made to the Portland Park Foundation as we believe parks build community and strong communities build fabulous cities.
