Our kids love Omsi. They are 9 & 11 and they enjoyed all of the great exhibits. Worth checking out if you are in Portland. more

My wife and I brought our six-year-old son, and two-year-old daughter to OMSI while we were in Portland (August 2007). Absolutely loved this museum! I can't remember any of the exhibits that were not "hands on." We took the kids to the planetarium show "cardboard rocket" and they loved it.

Even the little kids have their very own area now - the Science Playground, which... more

We liked it so much, we became members. On weekends, there can be long lines waiting to buy tickets for... more
