We were in town for some family events and wanted to get out and try a few things in the area. This is one of the best musems I have ever been too. I nrmally do not like this tyoe of thing, find it boring but they have done a great job here, lots of things like coffee/lunch and shoping you can do there as well. Really nice place!
Thank you for making a special trip down the gorge to visit us! We appreciate your positive and thorough review of our museum (and love your title)! We look forward to seeing you again very soon. Best,Kristen MayDirector of Visitor Services
The museum is well planned, easy to get around, and a fun excursion. Should be on your "things to do" when in the area.
The museum is good and has many interesting features but I have to agree with earlier post it's a little disjointed and jumps around.That said there are many interesting things to see and watch, there is an interesting film on how the gorge was formed and also the native Americans fishing.The birds of prey presentation was great and the lady giving it was enthusiastic and passionate about what she was talking about well worth the time.
We spent two hours here and it gave us a good idea about what the area is about especially watching the video about Clark and Lewis. They were the explorers sent out by Roosevelt to map the region and generally report on wild life, plants and tribes. The museum was also nice and cool as it was in the 90's outside!
I traveled this Museum last spring with my son's 5th grade class. I have passed by this Museum many time and we have not taken the time to stop. It was well worth the visit. Lots of history of the gorge and some interactive exhibits. There are also some interpretive trails. We did not have the time to go on some of longer hikes, but we would like to return someday. Well worth your time to stop. Check out Spooky's pizza as well.
Good overview of the area. The museum gave a good description of the area and what things you could do..
Thank you for taking the time to write a review of the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum! Your feedback is invaluable and appreciated. Hope to see you again soon!
Lots to see here. Local history and the Oregon Trail and Lewis and Clark exhibits. Also live Bird of Prey and other talks.
The presentation and information is great. I suggest anyone who is not familiar with the gorge to get this lesson. Well worth it.
