Parking was a tiny challenge but worth it. Usually I have to drag my kids into these places and they drag me out. However they didn't want to leave after more than two hours. It was fun and bright and very interesting.

For history buffs, this place is cool. The kids will like it too since there are plenty of interactive exhibits for the kids to play with. If you casually go through it, it'll take an hour. If you really want to explore everything, give it 2 to 3 hours. Parking is a little limited nearby. But if you can walk ok, the area around the campus has a few parking garages. The outside of the building has some nice trees and plant life to look at. The 6 foot meteorite just outside is pretty cool too. Eat ahead of time since no food or drink is allowed.

The first Friday of September 2014, while visiting Eugene, Oregon, I went to the Museum of Natural and Cultural History on the University of Oregon campus. Just so happens, on the first Friday of the month, admission is free (regular adult admission is $5).Maybe it is because I've lived in Oregon all my life and have been to a lot of museums, or maybe it's because I have the attention span of a gnat, but honestly, I think I would have been sad if I had paid $5. I was, dare I say it, just a teensy, tiny bit bored.The museum is long on wall dioramas and a lot of things to read, and sort of short on items/artifacts. Had I not been trying to be polite, I would have zipped in and out in about 5-10 minutes and seen all I wanted to see. They do have some cool fossils and the few items they have are interesting, but there just wasn't enough to keep me entertained. I'm one of those museum goers that doesn't read much of what is on the walls and displays beyond item labels. I think bringing a kid here would be a bit boring for them too...unless it was on free Friday and we just went through quickly.I would add that the volunteers on that day were very eager or bored. It felt like I was being followed around in case I had a question (which I didn't). I'm sure it is a tough balance to be available without being intrusive. Yup...it just wasn't my thing.

Very well put together, and visually pleasing Museum. Great place to visit if you haven't spent much time in Oregon. Great Native American section with lots of great cultural material covered. A revolving section with new, and interesting exhibits every 3 , or 4 months.

I was able to get to the museum on Free Friday, which made me extra happy. I like the layout. I learned a lot about Oregon and understand a howl lot more about how Oregon was formed.The cultural portion of the museum was very interesting too, from pre-European contact times of the Nations First People to more recent culture--very interesting. Helpful staff, pretty location and easy to access.

This museum is very interesting. Coming from NYC I found it to be quite small, but extremely informative.

Something for everyone with permanent and changing exhibits. Hands on for younger kids and has never been crowded when we have visited.

This is a nice place to visit to get a sense of Oregon. Not super fancy, but my 4 year old grandson had a good time.

I have been to the Museum several times, and each time, I see something new and interesting. There is a neat, small gift shop full of treasures that is fun to browse in. Ah Ha!-neat Christmas ideas. I bought me a book and a bracelet. The book was "Roadside Geology of Oregon", great pictures and information. There are people that will answer your questions, or find the answer there.This museum has something of interest to all ages, enjoy!

This museum is very nicely done with a number of activities and exhibits of interest for both adults and kids. There are regular exhibits and rotating exhibits. Give yourself a couple hours and bring a few $$ for the gift shop -
