The Oregon Vortex

"Really fun little visit. But pricey for sure. It was $60 for 3 of us (2 adults and 1 child) and the overall presentation is basically 1 hour of them talking about how it's level and measuring things for you. I feel like $10 - $12 entry fee would be fair and it would courage people to go back more than once."

"We visited The Oregon Vortex or Mystery house or what ever else it's known as. It was a weekday in June 2023. I will say it was entertaining how well they could stretch out a tour of one old, one room building that is never more than feet away from the gift shop. Again, it was entertaining. The idea is based upon magnetic principals relating to the earth. As such it is explained that things appear different than they should be. Unfortunately for me, I don't see things the way a lot of folks do. So for me, I saw things as they actually were because I look at things different. As such the optical illusions didn't seem to appear as they said it should. I felt bad because I had to explain how I saw it different and why. Most of the time when I pointed out how to look at it. The optical illusion went away for others also. So I tried to keep my mouth shut as much as possible as to not ruin the shell game for the others. So I guess it could be an interesting time if you just went along with the story. But for me it really wasn't worth the price I paid. The wife also didn't think it merited the price premium. But she did try to go along somewhat. But she even started to see the optical illusions. So the fun wore off fairly quickly for her as well. It wasn't a bad time if you just play along and have fun. But it is a little pricey for the illusion."

"Such an amazing experience! Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic as well and extremely informative. I do wish the group size was a little smaller. Ours had about 25 people so it made fitting in the office difficult and seeing the different anomalies kind of hard. Either way, a must for all travelers and locals!"

"The Oregon Vortex is definitely a fun stop. I was here 15+ years ago, and it doesn't seem to have changed much (if any) over the years. The staff were super friendly and our guide was a lot of fun. Do I necessarily believe everything going on here is a due to a mysterious gravitational vortex centered here? I honestly don't know... How much is due to the power of suggestion? Again I don't know. One of the things they tell you is that you may feel physiological changes when you're close to the center. Something definitely feels "different" when you walk into the cabin. How much is placebos and the fact that the walls are all crooked? Once again, I just don't know. What I can tell you is that something is fascinatingly weird here, and its worth a visit to see for yourself. If nothing else, you will walk away with a smile on your face."

"What an interesting experience. We had an amazing tour guide who was really thorough! We were just all speechless. However, as soon as we entered the site, I started getting a migraine and while in the house, I felt a little dizzy!"
