About this adventure

The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI), located on the Willamette River in Portland, is opening its classic Science Playground and Paleontology Lab this weekend specifically for young children and families. In the exploration park designed for children aged 0-6, kids can experience large water play tables, sand and gravel excavation, and animal track matching. In the paleontology lab, elementary school-aged children can, under the guidance of science educators, use professional tools to clean real fossils and touch genuine dinosaur bone slices. The venue has excellent accessible design, with wide, gentle ramps and large elevators connecting all floors, allowing unimpeded stroller access. The main exhibition hall and playground entrance are equipped with family diaper changing stations with safety rails. The playground also has a quiet and comfortable private nursing room, equipped with a soft sofa and warm water sink. The in-house Theory restaurant offers healthy children's meals and river-view seating.
