If not driving too far is what you want and your 10 year old will go, there is/was a zoo in Portland that we went to back in the Stone Age as kids, that was fun. Gallione might have better info but it's always a good standby with kids, if you don't want to travel far and don't have gobs of time. Vancouver (WA) is just across the bridge/river from Portland and I'd imagine there is transit available to get across. It's been ages since I've been there so not too familiar anymore BUT it may give you more options of things to do?
I haven't been to that zoo since... '93 or so, but I don't have kids. It's a pretty popular place though, routinely see signs on the nearby freeway that the parking lot is full so if you choose to go, go early or take the Max (Light rail). Max lines runs right to it.
