About this adventure
The World Forestry Center Discovery Museum, located next to the zoo and a light rail station, features an inspiring interactive forest ecology exhibition. Children can step inside a giant hollow wooden model to experience how tree roots absorb water, put on VR glasses to fly over the continuous evergreen rainforest canopy of the Pacific Northwest, and in the craft area, use real wood chips, pinecones, and bark molds to create their own forest badges. The two-story building has spacious elevators accessible for wheelchairs and strollers, and wooden walkways are flat and wide, allowing strollers to easily reach every exhibit. Restrooms on both the first and second floors are equipped with sturdy baby changing stations. With moderate crowd levels and a warm, dry indoor environment, it is an excellent indoor family science education destination during Portland's autumn and winter rainy season.
