Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI)

Nice museum, the staff are really customer care oriented, the exhibits were spacious and not overcrowded. Lots of learning on all levels, one area is specifically geared towards children and I can see that the people in that area enjoying themselves. The planetarium was nice and comfortable, watch the Black Holes documentary. The submarine was great and informative, every question I had was answered with their Naval military experienced guides. I would definitely come back for another visit.

Definitely one of my favorite spots in the downtown Portland area. It's a fun and interactive museum with some good stable exhibits as well as rotating featured exhibits. Their Marvel exhibit was super exciting with a lot of cool things to see, such as props from the movies themselves. It's a great place for both locals and tourists, as well as for people of all ages to visit, though the kids can get rather annoying and in your personal space. It's an awesome place to explore with your partner for a date night. Entrance tickets are reasonably priced, though the merchandise and gift shop stuff is expectedly pricey.

Very cool experience! We went on a Saturday so obviously there were a ton of people, but we expected that. The Marvel exhibit was awesome, highly encourage people to check that out, even if you aren't a big fan! All in all good experience.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$21–30

A place to checkout while in Portland! This place is very interactive and interesting. A family-friendly place with a lot of activities and attractions for all ages. A personal favourite while visiting OMSI was the Nelson Mandela exhibit. It was well-presented and outlines his early life until post-presidency. It was a great visit!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$16–20

Our trip to OMSI was pretty awesome! We were sad to see that the exhibit hall wasn't open. I guess that's my bad for not looking it up. I was happy to see that all of the children interactive exhibits were open. My 6-year-old ADHD son had a blast! We spent 2 hours there and all of us felt we saw all we needed to see and had a great experience. Definitely fun for the whole family!

We went to OMSI once with our young son after the vaccine was finally available for kids his age and oh my goodness, he had such a blast. Our first trip there was a special exhibit on the ocean and some stuff from James Cameron. This time, there's a special 2 floor experience on Marvel, the history of comic books and all the super heroes in their stories. Our son is going through a Thor phase and he had such a blast. Seeing the wonder and excitement in the eyes of your child is one of the most rewarding things as a parent. If you have kids that are interested in science at all or for the next month or so, interested in Marvel or any of it's heroes, i cannot recommend this enough! There's also a dome theatre in the planetarium, interactive exhibits on music, earthquakes, water and air in a safe and child friendly atmosphere. If you live in Portland or a surrounding community and you have young children, this should be on your list of things to do!

My teenage son and I visited today. The science area is great especially for younger children. We of course enjoyed the Marvel exhibit. The food options picturedfor the movie theater are an upgrade over other museums and movie theaters.

There's exhibits and hands-on fun for everyone at this museum! My partner and I went to see the new Marvel exhibit and have to pass on the glowing reviews to other fans of the comics and movies! We could not stop saying "oh my," at every artifact we walked up to. We also enjoyed a show in the planetarium and had the BEST submarine tour. It was a first for myself, but my partner agrees that the guide was absolutely amazing and full of great information! I almost knocked a star off for this visit though, as many other exhibits were closed or out of order for the day, which was something we really looked forward to checking out... Guess that just means we'll have to come back again!

First time to visit this museum. My daughter liked it very much. It has many kids friendly spots for them. Many things to learn in different topics. They offer a real submarine tour and a planetarium theater for extra fees. Avoid weekends for crowds.

Absolutely enjoyed ourselves once again, this time got to take the niece and nephew. The 15 years of laika was absolutely amazing, I would love to go back to check this exhibit out again. The amount of interaction for the kids in the engineering station area is amazing. They had a blast. Spent about 5 hours here, and not a dull moment ever. The amount of knowledge they and we took with us is unforgettable. Best Saturday afternoon ever. Highly recommend, I plan on getting a membership, totally worth it. The gift shop is quite amazing as well. Found quite a few goodies in there as well.
