10 Best Museums in Portland, OR | Condé Nast Traveler

"Perfect for the young and young-at-heart, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry is a magnificent museum that will keep the whole family entertained for days. The sprawling riverfront complex, just south of the Hawthorne Bridge in the Inner Eastside Industrial District, is home to five halls crammed with more than 200 interactive natural-science and technology exhibits and labs, a motion simulator, the Kendall Planetarium, the state’s most technologically advanced four-story-screen movie theater, and special seasonal exhibits like "The Discovery of King Tut." Weekends, especially those that fall during particularly popular special exhibits, can be a madhouse, but it’s all part of the fun, and the exhibits are spread out enough that they don't feel claustrophobic." - Jen Stevenson
