Portland, OR Museums

Closed for the summer of 19. Desk doesn't know when theyll reopen.

This place is really great. Most reviews mention it being for toddlers and preschoolers and for sure, a lot of the play is focused on those ages. But my 7 year old also l ... more

We had a lovely time visiting this educational history museum of the Japanese Culture in America. The hosts were friendly and informative. We'll be back for the cherry bl ... more

If you love puppets and the history of them, you should check it out. It is a small one room show case. Very intimate space, but the owner and friends are very welcoming.

A hidden gem! Great history of Portland's Chinatown, with lots of artifacts and exhibits. On the smaller side so it won't take too long. A great place to visit if you're ... more

My 3 year old grandson loved the museum. Very hands on, can touch everything including climbing into the cab of a real firetruck. Open Wednesday and is free. Received a f ... more

Went to a lecture on tall buildings and enjoyed a brief tour of the museum. If history is your thing, and Portland is the subject, it's worth the stop

I recently had the opportunity to visit The Skeleton Key Odditorium, drawn in by its fascinating promise as a museum of curious oddities. It certainly delivers on its uni ... more

Great small gallery. Easy walk through.

Eh. Very mid to be honest. I was really excited to go see this place but it was just a bunch of office rooms with some balloons thrown in it. Maybe its more for kids. May ... more

They have all the vacuum cleaner bags

Great time touring the Mansion and gardens. Craftsmanship of building is impressive.

Lots of great information about Oregon history! Well put together. Friendly staff.

Great place to spend some time. The student at was amazing

Wacky funky quirky cool. Small place, big fun stuff crammed in everywhere. Not for large groups or rowdy small children.

$35 for a queen anne burner. Get a fresh one online for $10. And they were going to charge me 50 for an Aladdin chimney, those are 40 new.

This museum is a good time for children or adults. As an adult, it was fun to come back to some things from my childhood, but I also saw some new things - like their chem ... more

Very beautiful Garden. The garden really beautifully arranged and seems almost flawless. As a foreigner, it feels weird to pay for a city garden but its definitely worth ... more

Always beautiful if a bit crowded.

First off, I LOVE museums and spend a lot of time exploring them so I feel like I've got a pretty good "museum meter," if there was such a measurement tool. Sadly, our ex ... more

Unfortunately, they are tempararaly closed but I hope they open soon so i can go for the first time!

WOW. If you're from out of town, put this on your list. An incredible, well-cared for museum of oddities and wonders. It's free to get in so pick up a book or a postcard ... more

So glad we stopped by the Maritime Museum, the museum owner gave us an incredible tour of the ship. Even though we stopped by during the off season when they were in the ... more

Love the new location! Way more space to move around. Some things to note : 1. If you want to hold the spider you need to book time in advance. 2. They have the bins of b ... more

It is sad that after 75 years, this place will be closed for good. That really suck.

Beautiful old historic Portland house with a bat at the front porch.

A poignant and touching tribute to a pillar of the community.

The coolest museum in portland!

Wonderful collection of artifacts with ample signage and informative volunteers!

Racist toys

The museum was very disappointing. Half of the museum was closed for renovations. I wish this was communicated better to us when purchasing the tickets, which they were s ... more

Great space in downtown Portland.

One of my top 5 favorite zoos in the USA. They do an absolutely amazing job here. It's definitely a diamond shining in Portland.

Good collections!

great experience, can't wait for the next installation!

This place is the greatest way to spend a few hours if you love vintage fashion! Each room is dressed for the season and has a wonderful variety of different dresses, han ... more

Took my autistic daughter here prior to the pandemic and she had a blast! It's very sad to hear that they are closing permanently!

A fantastic tour of fabulous cars.

Great place for free Christmas lights!

It's nice

Nice

Fun stop to make if you and yours are exploring Washington Park. The old log train is great, and you can hop onboard and check out the cockpit

A must attend two week Portland event.

Super cute! I love miniatures and this little display changes often with the best mini works! Definitely a great little pit-stop if you are anywhere close in town.

A stunning collection of textiles and fabric samples to swoon over.

Good place to spark up a dubby
