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

When I was there, they had a temporary exhibit on magic that was pretty interesting - it showed how tricks were done. The submarine tour is fascinating for adults. It's the last... more

The Omnimax is great- can't be beat. The museum itself is dated and about 1/3 of the exhibits were "out of order". My kids were bored. more

OMSI is a great museum with something for everyone. There is a planetarium, an OmniMax theater, a motion simulator, the USS Blueback sub tours, life science, technology, kids stuff, paleontology and geology, rotating exhibits, chemistry, a cafe and much more. We liked it so much, we became members. On weekends, there can be long lines waiting to buy tickets for... more
