Welcome to OMSI, one of the nation's premier science museums, where 219,000 square feet of excitement awaits you. This place is a haven for the curious, offering five vast halls that make science come alive through hundreds of hands-on exhibits. Picture yourself feeling the earth shake beneath your feet as you experience an earthquake simulation. Or, imagine the thrill of participating in live lab demonstrations. The Empirical Theater offers an immersive movie experience, while the world-class planetarium invites you to explore the cosmos. And for a true adventure, you can tour an actual submarine. Nestled on the east bank of the Willamette River, OMSI is more than just a museum—it's a gateway to discovery.
Fun fact: the museum is not only a place for science enthusiasts but also a popular spot for school field trips, making it a vibrant hub of learning and exploration for young minds. With its stunning location and diverse attractions, OMSI is a must-visit for anyone in the Portland area.
