Umpqua Discovery Center is an educational, cultural resource, created to preserve Oregon’s Tidewater communities.
The view was amazing. We were there on a beautiful day. Took our jackets off, took some picture and admired the views of the water. The information plaques were good reading as well.
We're full time travelers and have visited museums and exhibit centers nationwide. The Umpqua Discovery Center is exceptional. The murals are works of art and are worth the visit alone, but the exhibits are very educational and there are enough hands-on exhibits for kids to enjoy the visit. A must see if you're in the area and are interested in the history and environment of the area.
Different type of musuem. Very pictorial, with murals, and artifical trees, etc. Not much hands on for kids, though there is a bear cave slide. Two sides to the museum, one side on nature and the other side on the history of lumbermen and life. Doesn't take long to walk through both. It was "okay".
My sister took us here for the centennial of Reedsport and we absolutely loved it! The history and the way it even keeps the youngest engaged. Plus the gift shop was generous on a variety of fun items!
There are situated right on the river. Its a wonderful place to begin your journey to the coast. Its so great for children. The lady at front desk was so helpful. Its $8 for adults and $4 children. There are two sections one for cultural and other for nature. My son loved the sliding bear den. We learnt so much about animals, flora, weather patterns. The history of the region was very informative too. Definitely climb up the stairs to see a better view of the river. There is a restaurant next door.
