My boys like to explore the great outdoors so a museum is not on their activity list when we go on vacation.

It's a different kind of museum and nicely portrays the area. More

Not much to see for the high price. Was suggested by young relatives, but it really wasn't geared for adults. Some animals were visible at the time we visited. (Actual visit was several years ago.) More

a very good museum with lots to see. the grounds and facilities are very good. did not have time to see it all, but very interesting exhibits indoors and nice trails to walk outside with interpretative signs to. The permanent exhibits were very well done, plus there were some interesting temporary exhibits as well. More

Spent an enjoyable afternoon with the bobcat, bald eagles, hawks and a variety of other rescued animals at this excellent museum! A treasure for the locals, a special place for my 2 1/2 year old and her older friends to run about and learn about the area wildlife. More

Be sure to go when you are in Bend. It has something of interest for every family member from very young to very old. More
