Oregon Museum Of Science And Industry, Buckman
Well, maybe...
If you are in Portland, visiting, or if you just moved here and you are looking for something to do with the kids… it’s ok. Don’t go expecting anything too great, though. A lot of exhibits were non-functional or poorly explained. Some of them were just gimmicky, and not really very educational. My son is pretty young, and he didn’t get a lot of it. But the 8 and 9 year olds we saw seemed to be having a good time, running around crazy. To be fair, we didn’t visit the submarine. Maybe that’s worth a visit, I don’t know. The Exploratorium in San Francisco is the king of all science museums, so maybe it’s not fair to compare; but OMSI really doesn’t stand up. I’ve also been to better science museums in Paris, Amsterdam, and Munich. And the one in Seattle is pretty good, too. And closer to Portland, I guess!
