    Highly Recommended Museum

    We were pleasantly surprised by how impressive this museum was for being in a relatively small town. It had a range of exhibits focused on the local area, including history from Native Americans on, wildlife, etc. There is also a periscope-like telescope to look at nearby things, including an osprey nest. It was interactive, keeping the kids entertained for a long while. It included many gorgeous murals by a local artist.

    Beautiful murals of nature

    Impressive. Well-curated, beautiful hand-painted murals, fun and facts. Motion sensors activate voices that talk about the scene you’re standing in front of. Several well-made videos available. Cleaner than most museums.

    Great place

    The discovery center has a great gift shops with plenty of items to choose from. The exhibits have alot of reading to learn of the history of the area, bear cave for kids, and local Native American info. You can stay for 30 min to 2 hrs or more. Located on the Umpqua river.

    Be sure to include this on your list while in Reedsport!

    Highlight of our trip along the Oregon coast. The Center has large murals painted by a local artist and it has interactive areas for all age groups. Very informative.

    Absolutely Amazing

    This Discovery Center in the little town of Reedsport may be the most surprising and pleasant discovery in town. The quality of the displays felt to me like a team of Disney Imagineers came in and created this amazing attraction with no consideration of sticking to a budget. It is informative for those who wants to know more about the history of the area but also fun for youngsters who will actually learn something while being entertained. Highly recommend this place.
