World Forestry Discovery Center Museum
World Forestry Discovery Center Museum Review
Visitors will find interactive and multimedia exhibits that teach forest sustainability. A white-water raft ride, smoke-jumper training simulator, and Timberjack tree harvester all provide different perspectives on Pacific Northwest forests. On the second floor the forests of the world are explored in various travel settings. A canopy lift ride hoists visitors to the 50-foot ceiling to look at a Douglas fir. A $2 parking fee is collected upon entry. Or take MAX light rail to the Washington Park station.
