   What a great time!

   ‘Okay’ rating Posted about 3 years ago

   Highly recommended for all ages. We had a great time at the OMSI - our son spent hours on the puzzles in the hallway alone. We also highly recommend the submarine tour - but it is not for the claustraphobic. We spent four hours there and barely scratched the surface. We will be back!

   Free with membership to the Science Factory

   ‘Okay’ rating Posted about 3 years ago

   We live in Eugene and get a year membership to the Science Factory in Eugene. With this membership, our whole family gets to go to OMSI for free! It makes it worth driving 2 hours away or staying overnight.

   OMSI - always a place to visit

   ‘Okay’ rating Posted almost 5 years ago

   OMSI is always number one on my family's list. The exhibits are entertaining for both adults and kids. There are always new exhibits to check out. The cafe has a fairly large, healthy, and cheap selection, so feel free to hang out there the entire day.

   Great for Kids & Adults!

   ‘Okay’ rating Posted almost 5 years ago

   We live in Springfield, OR, and over the years our family has made countless day trips to Portland... and OMSI has been included in many of them. OMSI offers unique exhibits, some of which are traveling exhibits such as "Body Worlds 3," but many of their permanent exhibits are well worth seeing more than once. One of my personal favorites is the "Beginning the Journey" exhibit, which features the different stages of human fetal development through nine months of pregnancy. In addition to the exhibits, we usually see an Omnimax movie while we're there, and for anyone who has never been to an Omnimax theater (it is different than an Imax) I would highly recommend it! They also have a great gift shop featuring lots of toys and educational items for anyone who loves science in all its forms.
