Fodor's Review:

Hundreds of hands-on exhibits draw families to this interactive science museum, which also has an Omnimax theater and the Northwest's largest planetarium. The many permanent and touring exhibits are loaded with enough hands-on play for kids to fill a whole day exploring robotics, ecology, rockets, computers, animation, and outer space. Moored in the Willamette as part of the museum is a 240-foot submarine, the USS Blueback, which can be toured for an extra charge.

  • Cost: Full package $19, museum $9, planetarium $5.50, Omnimax $8.50, submarine $3.50
  • Open: Mid-June-Labor Day, daily 9:30-7; Labor Day-mid-June, daily 9:30-5
