Get free admission and enjoy family-friendly activities during Doug Fir Day at World Forestry Center.

We love our forests in Oregon. The World Forestry Center’s Discovery Museum is located right here in our city, inviting visitors to examine forests and consider all the ways they benefit our lives. 

The museum is located in Washington Park just a short walk from the MAX light rail and the Oregon Zoo. The museum has been a Portland icon since 1971. Step inside a 20,000-square-foot building and be taken on a journey through all things forest. 

Here’s what is in store at this upcoming event:
