My kids thoroughly enjoyed this museum, and so did we. The submarine tour is fascinating and the Omnimax theater is very cool. We saw the Da Vinci exhibit, a definite highlight (not sure how long it will be there, though, it's a travelling exhibit). We spent hours there and still didn't see everything. Young kids will love the Discovery Room.... more

I've been going to OMSI for years since I was 6 years old. I still go there on occasion (I'm 20 now), I love it there. The exhibits are mostly hands on, and are great for learning and having fun at the same time, also the exhibits change every so often, so it's not something that you go to once... more

I took my 1-year-old to this museum on a Wednesday afternoon. While the museum was busy, we did not find it overcrowded. The highlight of the facility for toddlers will probably be the Discovery Playground, an interactive indoor place where kids 6 and under roam free. My 1-year-old was walking well (though they had an infant area for even smaller... more

My girlfriend and I got there soon after it opened and we were glad we did. By noon there was a line of people waiting to get in. It was raining and OMSI had a tent over them so that most of them could keep dry. There were also demonstrations outside to keep them occupied while they were waiting. Most... more

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. There is also laser light shows, an imax theater, and... more

My kids loved this place, my only regret is that we didn't schedule enough time there. My kids aged 10 to 18 found plenty to keep them occupied. more

The museum itself was nice. Our kids loved the ball room and the playroom. We would have liked more time in the museum itself. We were there mainly for the Star Wars exhibit. We were a little dissappointed in the exhibit, especially the "Millienium Falcon" ride. It was not a ride at all. It cost $5 a person and was... more

To us, this is one of the best science museums in the country. Make sure you set aside a full day; between the exhibits, the planetarium shows,the OMNIMAX shows, and the submarine tour, you'll need it! There is so much to see and do here. Even the little kids have their very own area now - the Science Playground, which... more
