Visit the World Forestry Center this October for free youth admission on select days. 

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 more information about the limited time free youth admission at World Forestry Center. You may also enjoy Trick-or-Treat Events in and around Portland, Oregon Zoo’s Howloween and Kids Monster Fest.

The Discovery Museum at the World Forestry Center gives visitors a bird’s-eye view of a Northwest forest. Explore the human connection to the woods and learn about the challenges and opportunities facing our critical natural resource.

The first floor covers the roles forests play in our lives. Examine forest habitat, recreation and reflection, and the critical resource.

Then on the second floor offers a global perspective, exhibiting how people around the world are connected to and dependent on their local forests.

Other museum highlights include a five million-year-old, 10,000 pound petrified stump and a locomotive you can climb aboard. There are lots of hands-on displays designed to engage all ages.
