Luggage storage Eugene

Store your luggage around Eugene with Bounce 

Uber-trendy Portland and Seattle have been the Pacific Northwest’s go-to travel destinations for quite a while, but there’s plenty to enjoy outside these larger cities. The many national parks, dense woodlands, and mountain ranges make for unforgettable travel experiences, but a few towns like Eugene are well worth a visit. 

Tucked away in the Willamette Valley, Eugene is most famous for being home to the University of Oregon’s sprawling campus. While the school brings the lion’s share of visitors to Eugene, there’s plenty to see and do for anyone. You can always pair a visit to Eugene with a camping or hiking trip or simply explore the town’s amazing cultural and culinary offerings. 

Here’s everything you need to know about visiting Eugene: 

Luggage storage in Eugene

Top things to do in Eugene

The Pacific Northwest vibes are as strong in Eugene as in either Portland or Seattle. There’s a massive culture around the outdoors in Eugene, and for good reason. Within an hour or so, hikers and campers can enjoy Alton Baker Park, Mount Pisgah Arboretum, and Spencer Butte. 

The town itself is incredible to visit, with a number of museums and landmarks to hit. There are also craft breweries seemingly in every corner of the city, so it’s easy to find a place for an evening out. The food scene is stellar, especially for a city of its size. 

Museums in Eugene

Museum of Natural and Cultural History

Oregon has never entirely shed its “Oregon Trail” moment, but that doesn’t mean the numerous museums and landmarks paying tribute to this fascinating part of American history are less worth visiting. This museum offers a comprehensive collection of artifacts and exhibits that tell the tale of how places like Eugene came to be. There are also exhibits showcasing the area's diverse wildlife along with its many mountains and forests. 

Mount Pisgah Arboretum

As if Eugene could get any greener, one of the best attractions in the city is a massive Arboretum. Located southeast of downtown Eugene, this greenspace offers miles of walking trails and a diverse array of habitats showcasing the native plants and wildlife of the region. 

Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art

If you’re strolling through the University of Oregon campus, you won’t be able to miss this stylish art museum. It’s one of the most popular educational attractions in the city, with collections of Asian art, American and European art, contemporary (especially multi-media) works, and works from indigenous cultures.

If you’re heading out to different museums and landmarks in Eugene, you can’t always rely on these places having luggage lockers or other amenities. That’s why Bounce’s convenient luggage storage facilities are so useful when it comes to sightseeing. All our best storage spots are situated near places like the Arboretum or Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, so it’s easy to find a place to store suitcases and other bags.

Shopping in Eugene

Broadway Street 

The best stretch for a shopping spree is Broadway in downtown Eugene. While it’s certainly prime real estate, it’s very encouraging to find very few national or international chains with a retail presence here. Eugene is very committed to its locally-owned businesses, and that’s really on display on Broadway Street. 

Oakway Center

This shopping center near Alton Baker Park and the University of Oregon’s Campus offers (mostly practical) shopping options like outdoor gear, clothing outlets, and a few restaurants. It’s less charming than some of the other destinations, but the pragmatic collection of stores makes sense, given its proximity to the campus. 

5th Street Public Market

One of the best retail hotspots in Eugene is the 5th Street Market, where you’ll find a cluster of local boutiques, gift shops, record stores, vintage stores, and other on-brand offerings. 

Eugene Saturday Market

This one is seasonal, but during the spring, summer, and fall, this open-air market opens so local producers, artisans, food trucks, coffee roasters, and other “very Eugene” companies can sell their wares to students and travelers. 

If you’re exploring Eugene’s best local shops for a few hours, you’ll want to figure out a place to store your luggage while you shop. Luckily, Bounce has locations near the best shopping and retail destinations, and our mobile app makes it easy to find secure storage facilities close to where you’ll be shopping.

Restaurants in Eugene

The Better Living Room by Ninkasi Brewing

If you’re a beer drinker, the uber-hip hangout from Ninkasi Brewing should already be on your list of Eugene spots to hit. Their beer’s reputation is among the best in the region, and that’s saying something if you’ve ever looked into craft beer’s prevalence in the Pacific Northwest.

You’ll find all their standard beers and a ton of specialty and seasonal offerings on draft, but the main strength of the taproom is their creative food menu. Pastrami pierogies, spicy pork rinds, mussels, and frites are all impeccable drinking food options, and the social setting makes for the ideal way to cap off a day of hiking or sightseeing. 

Black Wolf Supper Club

Eugene is hardly the place you’d expect to find an upscale Cajun-Creole restaurant, but a few Louisiana chefs decided to uproot themselves to the less humid setting of downtown Eugene. It’s fairly traditional, but you’ll find locally sourced seafood in Black Wolf’s gumbo and jambalaya. Their fried chicken is some of the best in town, and this place is most likely the only spot to serve beignets. 

Sabai Café & Bar

While you’ll be able to find a dependable Thai restaurant in every neighborhood of the country, this stylish restaurant takes it even further with inventive takes on traditional Thai classics and even fusion. You’ll find eclectic offerings like Indian curry fused with European ingredients like pancetta and egg or smoked (Pacific Northwest) salmon in a panang curry. Everything on the menu is interesting, but you can still get a traditional Thai tom kha or pad thai. 

Lugging your bags through a brewery or restaurant is hardly ideal. That’s why Bounce’s luggage storage locations are strategically placed near dining and nightlife hotspots in Eugene. 

Conclusion 

The best option for luggage storage Eugene has to offer is available through Bounce. If you’re sightseeing through Eugene or other cities in Oregon, like Bend, Astoria, or Portland, it’s as easy as it gets to find a luggage storage facility to drop the bags off before each adventure!
