"I was just there with my kids on a field trip. The museum itself is great, with a lot of hands on activities available. However, myself and the other parents where disappointed in the tour. The guide was really nice, but did two lectures back to back. It was about an hour and a half long in total. They didn't even show us the movie. The kids did get to handle some furs, but it was far too much sitting for elementary students. We did get to make candles and butter, but nothing else. We asked if we could go through the rest of the exhibit that was skipped over, and where told we would have to pay AGAIN if we wanted to go back in! There were fifteen hands on activities that we didn't get to do, that we could have done if we had just gone not on a tour. They said they had a staffing issue, but it didn't make sense to not let us see the rest of the museum. We didn't get to look at anything else. There were plenty of chaperons, so we could have done the rest of the museum, regardless of staffing. Overall it was kind of a let down. It just felt like a money grab, especially because of course we could still go into the gift shop. I still recommended going, just not on a school tour."
"This is a really cool place to learn some Oregon history. The park is nice and has a garden of native plants. I enjoyed my walk through it."
"Great interactive museum that tells the amazing stories of the pioneers and indigenous people of the area. I highly recommend visiting if in the Portland area."
"We stopped by here on a Sunday around 5:30pm and walked around and took pictures. The visitor center closes at 5pm on Sunday, so we didn’t get to go inside, but it was still neat to walk around outside. I grew up playing the Oregon Trail in school so I was excited to visit the site. Would recommend stopping here if you are close by!"
"This museum & interpretive center stands at the end of this amazing 2000 mile long historic Oregon trail, which started all the way from Missouri and ended in Oregon City. The visit through the center itself could take a few hours through the three sections, each depicting a wagon from the outside. But it’s worth taking a short stroll along the outside. Coming out of the visitor center & gift shop, take right turns all the way around and keep continuing along towards the garden and main street side and you’ll get to the historic marker, designated end of the Oregon Trail, which is marked by two monuments. There are several flowers and herbs grown in the garden which are varieties the pioneers brought with them across the Oregon Trail. There is plenty of parking and there was no lines for entry to the museum. There was a private event going on in the garden side while we visited. Apparently there are outdoor concerts and events happening here especially during the Summer months."
