Columbia River Maritime Museum

"We visited the Columbia River Maritime Museum located in Astoria, Oregon, and we had a great time. There are so many interactive displays in the museum, and the staff are very knowledgeable as well. The information provided helps us understand the challenges and dangers of navigating the Columbia River. There is also a retired light ship that you can walk through as well. This is truly a fantastic place to visit, and children will love it, too. There's also a great gift shop with lots of items to choose from."

"Interactive museum for all ages. The gift shop has souvenirs from $5 and up. If you’re visiting Astoria with or without children you don’t want to miss this opportunity to learn about our beautiful coastline and the Heroes that keep us safe."

"Our family visited this awesome place and stayed way longer than expected because of how interesting, interactive and thorough it is! The name “museum” just doesn’t sound cool enough for how fascinating this place is. What a great gift shop too! I only wish I didn’t live many states away so that I could visit it again and spend even more time than we scheduled. Will definitely return again when in Oregon"

"I have driven by this place for over 10 years and never visited. Or 2 older kids and my wife visited and spent 2.5 hours there and really enjoyed the displays and exhibits. You even get to visit a lighthouse ship docked behind the museum. Highly recommend to anyone visiting or deiving through. Good place to get some photos also."

"Great museum, many exhibits and things to see and do. Kids loved the military ship deck the most. Good value and friendly staff. Admission is good for all day and includes re-entry. Cute little 3d theater as well, plus there is a light boat outside that you can visit. Highly recommend!"
