REVIEWS OF OMSI IN Oregon

Kristi Hilton

This place is always so packed, and you can tell why once inside. Activities and things to do and see for adults and kids of all ages. My son's favorite is the glittery sand in the science fun room!

Christian Marie Gordon

If you're an adult with no children: DO NOT waste your time or money. If you want an interesting museum, go to the Oregon Historical Society. If you have kids: read some of the negative reviews before deciding. The gift shop was the only positive.

Alesita Flowers

Great place to bring kids and grown ups

Mahan Kaur

Love this place it’s a family tradition. I have been going here before it was in this location. They have stayed true to learning and growing.

Liam Brown

This is a great place for adults and kids alike.

Jonah

Great place to bring children. I did the submarine tour and it was pretty cool. OMSI can get pretty expensive if you don't have a family membership. They often rotate different things like the Pixar animation one going on recently, which was fun to go to.

Jen Brennan

Been coming here since I was a child and now getting to share it with my children. . .it's great! Lots of hands on opportunities for big and small ages. Even as adults we enjoy learning!

QueenMaster C

I really wish I would have known before wasting my money how disappointing this museum is. I can sincerely say this is the most boring and overrated museum I’ve been to. There are no real displays of specimen. It’s more like a play pen for children. I expected more as adult without children. This is purely only for children and no adult would find this museum fun. I wish I could get my money back.

Calixta Cheers

Went here for a first date - sure I'm in my 30's but it was too much fun if you approach it with a good attitude. Yeah, I realise that some of the interactive displays had seen better days, but there's still lots to see and do. Get your big kid on for a day and have some fun.

Amethyst Hudgens-Laffey

We enjoyed our time, 3 adults no kids. The beginning of life exhibit was the most intriguing. I'd have to say they definitely need to invest in more than 1 hand sanitizer dispenser! Seriously only 1 and it was empty! In a sea of children and you have to physically interact with the majority of the exhibits. It was a major downside, overall a good time minus the gross factor.

dilophosaurus venenifer

I first went here on a school trip, and have returned many times since! Wonderful exhibits, being switched out so often allows for a lot of learning to be done with each trip. If you haven't been to OMSI recently, you haven't been to OMSI. There's always something new to see and learn; I highly recommend it!

Sherry Taylor

We had a great time, the Pixar exhibit and the Super Heros dog show were both Awesome. Two disabled grandparents both in need of scooters to use and a 10 year old grandson and his friend, we went on Labor day and arrived about 11 am , Vincent went and got us set up with scooters, and made sure we knew where the exhibits,food, show and restrooms were, he went beyond customer Service and really Wowed us!

Dustin Erdman

The draw here are the traveling exhibits which need to be rated on their own merits. OMSI has attracted national tours of some truly fantastic exhibits which should be given due respect. Unfortunately, the rest of the museum itself has little to offer if you’re not under 10. It seems the museum board/curators have decided that their only audience is young children and their parents. Even the planetarium show is reduced to a scant 15 minutes as if catering to the attention span of a toddler. Two adults won’t leave the museum - or should I say enter it - without paying nearly $60. Museum memberships would save money but that would require wanting to go more than once. Here’s hoping for expanded offerings in the future. I have attached pictures of one of the more noteworthy features of the museum which traces the development of human life. Also attached are pictures from the recent King Tut exhibition.

Minna Wang

Not worth the price of admission unless you have kids. Super small museum with very simple interactive exhibits.

Lydia Kennedy

Our 7 year old enjoyed the Pixar exhibit and science museum. Great for families and by the water for great pics. A must visit.

G. Michael Zimmerman

The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry has always been loads of fun. My first experience with OMSI was over 30 years ago when it was still located near the Oregon Zoo. I was a child then and I was fascinated by the exhibits and various scientific demonstrations. As an adult I have also enjoyed OMSI but notice that it hasn't made many advancements. It seems there's a great deal of room for improvement. For example, I visited a science museum in Bangalore and found that they had many more interactive exhibits and demonstrations to engage children and adults. The worst of my observations at OMSI are regarding the use of non-vegan food at discussions of Environmental Change, and the like. Animal agriculture is the largest contributor to carbon emissions and climate change. As a museum of Science, should we not eliminate such negligent, contradictory and hypocritical practices? Please OMSI, fascinate me like you did when I was a child but make me believe in your efforts now that I am an adult. Let's educate people on the facts.

Thomas Lee

The new exhibit is very good well work price of admission

Kristi Ratcliffe

Haven't been here since I was a kid I say pretty cool to come see and check it out family fun for sure

John Tunca

Loved it for sure. Science of Pixar was amazing and I really loved the submarine tour. $108 is a tad steep for 3 people but we did 3 separate items so there's that and we're in a big city, still stings a bit

Sheila Jefferson

We love this place. There is always something new for kids and adults to do. It is easy to spend the whole day here but even just a couple hours is fine. It really depends how focused you get at each station/exhibit/room. There are better times to go when it isn't as crowded. I try to avoid the 2 dollar first Sunday of the month day. Holidays times can also get crowded but it is still manageable. As with little kids on general, it good to bring a spare set of clothes. There is a water exhibit/table and the kids can get quite wet without even trying.

Gacha Cookie

I went with my school and my class loved it we were so glad we went

Anirban Banerjee

Amazing experience. The experience of a submarine and the life of brave navy guys is really worth appreciating.

Jim Spencer

More like 4.5 Stars. Lots of "Hands On" experiences for kids. Pretty cool stuff. Lots of staff all over to help. Helpful Hints: arrive early .. parking lot can fill up. Bring hand wipes .. I'm not a germaphob .. but 100's of little kids running around touching all that stuff

Ax Death

Screaming children were everywhere. Place was dirty. Apparently some event was planned for that day. A huge volcano was going to erupt outside. The actual effect was, a huge brown tarp, flapping over a metal scaffold had a touch of red mist come out of it. I probably wouldn't go here if it was free and I lived nearby. Go somewhere else.

Tyler Christensen

Great for kids! But it would be nice if some of the exhibits considered an adult audience too. The laser show was fun though!

Ess

I went early to see the Pixar Exhibit on a $2 Sunday (with Pixar was $8 & $5 parking). Crowds but not overwhelming. Exhibit was ok, kept wondering why it was in a Science museum as they focused 90% on design/art. Rest of the museum dated and few things to do. Food service was poor - 30 minute wait for a cup of coffee. Only 8 people in line in front of me. If you have kids go to the Children's Museum in Washington Park. Into Design/ Art go to Portland Art Museum. For adults looking for thoughtful exhibits - don't waste your $$

Dony Top5

Had a ball at OMSI last weekend. The King Tut exhibit was amazing, get there early if you can. I had always wanted to do a tour of the Submarine they have in the Willamette by the OMSI and it did not disappoint, the guide was a hoot. We also hit the planetarium for a stargazing tour. The staff was helpful and polite.

Guillermo Vazquez

First science museum that I've been too that has many hands-on exhibits. Great place to take your kids to learn and play. The Science Behind Pixar was a great exhibit, highly recommend.

RANDOM LIFE

This place has something for everyone. The submarine tour is a must. Definitely worth the money.

Noah Sketches

Our family have had an OMSI membership for 12 years. I used to feel appreciated as a member, and felt membership at OMSI to be a good value. My recent expreiences when visiting OMSI leave me feeling very unappreciated as a member. I will reconsider membership when it is time to renew.

Devan Williams

Fun for all ages, 0 to 99! Lots to do for kids of all ages. My 4- and 2-year-old boys had a great time pretending to be various animals, playing with water rockets, exploring gravity wells, building with large blocks, exploring with cranes, and just generally being curious. Older kids would appreciate the science more, but even the younger kids enjoy getting their hands on things.

Zachary Dix

I've been coming here my entire life. Every time I go I find something new to appreciate and enjoy. I definitely recommend going out on the adults-only nights, it'll bring out your inner kid make you appreciate the beautiful world we live in. Feed your brain.

Vanessa Cade

Overall family fun! I suggest going on weekdays or early in the day to get the best interaction due to less crowds! Beautiful views of the waterfront. Fun for all ages! Many various tour attractions (king tut is through end of january) from space, history, science and a kids / toddler area! Fun way of teaching and hands on learning

Jim DeMarco

Excellent for a day with the kids. I was an OMSI member for many years as a kid visiting when located next to the Portland Zoo. I moved to the inner east side and later so did OMSI because I am a huge fan. Any kid you feel might be interested in STEM will go nuts here. I did at the original location as a kid in the 60's and you'll still find that's true here. Lots of interesting things for adults as well.

Maddie B

Just spent over 3 hours here. Could have spent much more. Go early! Lots of fun!!! My kids from 1 years to 12 years everyone loved it.

Derek Phillips

OMSI holds the distinction of being the only yearly pass I continue to hold. The exhibits are fantastic where interests lie, but the base 'modules' are really consistently entertaining as a mainstay. Blowing paper into the air, becomes a competative family sport. Allowing our bodies to become conduits for electricity, is part for the coarse, and puzzles to torture or minds, become a welcome reprocess from daily minutia The gift shop is top notch and sits beside a much welcomed coffee shop. That serves up lattes and snacks. Getting there early will smooth the visit, as crowds swell in the afternoon and exhibits can sell out for the day rather quickly.

Dylan Filkins

This is a really cool place! They have plenty to see and plenty of activities for kids and adults. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is playful. I always recommend this place for families coming into town.

Jade Giovanna

Im disappointed with my most recent visit to Omsi. The attractions were under construction, the amphibian exhibit (im not sure if this is exactly what they call it) was closed and there just wasn't a whole lot to see. My son was extremely bored, and after spending $50 for a family of four we left after about 45 mins. The best part was probably the jungle gym, which kept their attention for about 20 mins. Also the admissions lady was extremely socially awkward and made it very uncomfortable just asking a few questions about pricing. (Because I saw a family admission deal online and was just inquiring about it. Which apparently is non existent now.) If the exhibits were open and there was more to see/do it would have been worth it. But this experience was not.

Karen Pyatt

We love OMSI and are so excited to have their membership pass this year! We love the Access Program and all the great things they have for both our kids to do. We haven't been in a while and we loved how they have expanded every part for every age. King Tut was great for our oldest because she could hear everything. The planetarium has shows for both our kids. There is a great play area for learning and discovering upstairs. Along with the classics of how a baby grows, the insects, the fossils, and the PGE portion too. We can't wait to go back and we love that it is right off the max!

Molly Arnott

We really enjoyed our visit here with our 6 year old, 3 year old, and 6 month old. Included in the base price was a 3d nature/science based 45 min movie. And there was so much hands on things the kids to play with and learn about. The room with all the electricity stuff was very exciting, and controlling robots was too. We'll definitely come again when we're in Portland

Danny Higgins

Kids will love this place. The number of hands on, interactive exhibits is really nice. The Pixar exhibit was also great. It could use more exhibits like the Pixar one that cater to people of all ages.

Alex Easton

Great for young people learning science

Wei Kung

Just do the submarine tour. That was worth it. Honestly the museum itself is tiny. I expected much more. It’s for children mostly. The only part that was memorable was the 44 real fetuses at the Natural Science section.

Mike

We’ve been going to OMSI since the 80’s, but it had been about 3 years since our last visit. We went this time because of the Pixar exhibit, which turned out to be fantastic. Spent a good 2 hours in that exhibit alone. The rest of the museum unfortunately is a shell of its former self. Much has been removed and it feels very dated and empty. 5 stars for the Pixar exhibit; 3 stars for the rest of the museum.

Immediate Review!

OMSI is genuinely incredible. From the nostalgia of coming here as a kid to getting to appreciate it as an adult. This place never ceases to amaze me. Come for the museum, sub tours, movies, planetarium, or the seasonal exhibits they offer. I promise it won't disappoint. It is very kid friendly too, information for adults and interactive learning for the kids, what more could you want?

courtney Bywater

It fun and you get to learn new things and the built something new there

Awful Falafel

A great, big, beautiful museum in the city of culture. With great staff, great exhibits and the special limited-time ones down the main hall is also great for variety. The tour of the USS Blueback is ls also great because of the little gags and jokes and the trivia that her and her crew were in the movie "Hunt For Red October". The drive from the South Puget Sound was definitely worth it.

Jeremiah Beene

Great museum with very little to improve! The rotating main exhibits are typically really interesting, the attached food spot is was well above average, and there is a kids section that is pretty great! They could maybe throw in some seasonal activities or other incentives to keep my membership value up, though.

Jonathan Graham

Kids love it here. The main exhibit is always changing which is nice. They also move and change around a lot of the other exhibits. The planetarium is great for movies. We haven't hit the submarine yet but plan to next visit as we got an annual pass.

Sid J

I have been to many museums around the country, but I was underwhelmed with OMSI. After so much hype and a 4.5 star rating on Google, I think it is more directed towards kids and feels dated. Not to be misunderstood for boring or bad. But if you can probably skip this, as long as you don't have anything else to do.

Faith Kennedy

OMSI After Dark is great! Don't go alone unless you want groups of drunk guys hitting on you. Bring a buddy!

Haley Huckins

Used to go here all the time as a kid. First time I've been here in almost a decade. I just had to see the Science behind Pixar. It was fascinating. But there were WAY too many kids. I could barely think through all the noise of those brats. I loved the face rigging and the scenery rigging stations the most. The rest of the museum was more sparse and more dirty than I remember it being when I was a kid. So that was disappointing.

Arista Lovewell

We recently got a year pass and are excited to visit more often. It does get crowded a bit on the weekends but still lots to do and see. Especially since they rotate out what is there.

Andrea Zotelli

Excelente place to spend the day with your kids. Lots of interesting activities to learn science, math, physics and more. A very enjoyable place for adults as well. Consider going early to avoid long lines to buy your tickets. The eatery was very organized and staff is very efficient. Tasty food, fast service and you usually manage to find a table even when the place is busy. OMSI is a place you can't miss when visiting Portland, OR.

Kevin Douglas

King Tut exhibit was a lot of fun. There's nothing I can say here you can't find with a quick search, but the reproductions seemed very well done. Worth the price of admission.

Gavin Pham

Pixar exhibit was so cool and SUPER well made. Would recommend for any age, it explains very complicated animation principles through simple, interactive experiences.

danielle ursula

Definitely not worth $14.50 plus $5 parking if you don't have a kid. I wish the employee who took my money had been honest when I asked if it was a children's museum. Was very disappointed in spending $35 to walk around a children's playground basically.

Alay Shah

This is #mustsee place for curious mind. Age really doesn't matter. Be 5 year or 30 - all enjoys well. A lot many activities. Chemistry, physics, design thinking, wind tunnel and wonderful Submarine (yes, real submarine). I guarantee you, you will have fun, fun and fun!

Kaylene French

A disaster of a wait in the membership line over the Christmas holidays was made better by the fabulous children's area and the excellent dining area. The sub tour was also greatly enjoyed by my hubby. Will be back to see the rest.

Dave Wiard

There are plenty of science-oriented activities for all ages from 1.5 years through adult. The toddler are is a little limited with but for older kids 4+ there is so much here you really have to go multiple times to experience it all. The special exhibits are always VERY well done for all ages.

Amy Segeberg

It's OMSI, who wouldn't love it here? Kids love to run around and explore and there's always something new each time they come for a visit. On our most recent trip, my kids spent quite a bit of time doing simple experiments set up by volunteers. They absolutely loved it and the volunteers were fantastic. Sidenote, take a shiny penny and a couple of quarters for an inexpensive souvenir smashed penny.

Sucks 2suck

It’s a very small museum but it feels more aimed to entertain children only. Gave two cause it was informative but not much to do.

Lauren Hendrickson

Saw the King Tut exhibit. It was beautifully done. We always have fun here, and it's fun for the whole family from the wee little ones to the elders of the family. It is pricey but worth it. They also have great views of the river.

Nancy Robrecht

We love OMSI. As grandparents we always buy a membership for us and all the grand children are put on it. Thus any of our grandchildren can go as a member and take their parents as a guest. We loved the new exhibit on king Tut. We enjoyed seeing are one of the omni Max movies. Having a membership is the only way to go because then you can just stop whenever you want and spend a little while. I love their gift store too.

Ellary Deferrers

This review is only regarding the Submarine(USS Blueback) tour. Excellent tour. You get a great view/idea how the sailors on a submarine go about their lives. Very cramped living conditions for being on a secluded vessel extended periods of time. Narrow passages, so be careful. Great place for families, discover all kinds of things exhibits change regularly so keep up what's happening at OMSI. many interesting displays and lots to do for children. Great Omni theater too. Good souvenir shop, many educational items.

Jld Girl

Been a few times. Each time I'm hoping it gets better, but doesn't seem to. Museum itself is ok, but the shows are better. It just seems it's way overpriced for the general admission. So, you pay that price but the shows are an additional price. Plus to see their featured exhibit, like Pixar, it's even more money. But overall, it's a good way to spend the day with kids.

Fiona Ryan

Saw the Exquisite creatures exhibit today. Fantastic!

Ray Luo

The regular exhibits on first floor is on par with science museums in other cities. The recent special exhibit of King Tut is well organized. The regular outdoor exhibit of submarine is uniquely cool, and its staff actually worked on sub before! Very knowledgeable!

Amanda Burkhart

I love OMSI! First time I went was back in 2011/2012 when they had the Body Worlds exhibit set up there. It was FANTASTIC! So incredible to see. Another favourite is the submarine. If you can, and you're not claustrophobic, go check it out! I also really like the hologram room! Great museum, I only wish it were bigger!!!

Tony Helfend

I had not been to OMSI in probably 20+ years, since I was a child. I'm pretty sure I had just as much fun going there as an adult as I did as a kid! Amazing interactive Place inspiring Young Minds. I love this place! Will definitely be going back more regularly.

Alex Gulart

Really really really good!

Bud Hayes

This is a "MESMERICA" review, not OMSI in general. What a freakin' waste of time and money. With a very few exceptions, it was a Windows screen saver combined with a kaleidoscope, that had little or nothing to do with the music or the occasional arrogant instructions/dialog regarding how you should be feeling at that point. I was laughing at many points, as were many others in the audience. The music was repetitive, boring and grating due to an overwhelmed recording system. If you like the same rift played infinitem on a variant of a steel drum, you have arrived. Perhaps if the staff gave you a crystal, dreamcatcher and a (big) bag of pot on the way in, it might have been more meaningful.

WVTER WVLKER

I went to the King Tut Exhibit today and it was absolutely mind blowing. I highly suggest that everyone go to it by the 27th. They had such an amazing set up in every room you walked into. I was very pleased.

Reggie Wallace

Seems like paradise for a kid. Me on the other hand did enjoy the charm of this place. I went during the day before my flight back home. The planetarium was really neat, but the show seemed short. I heard OMSI after dark is what you should do is you're an adult, which I'll be trying on my next visit.

Jason Heglund

Took the kids here for the first time and they had a blast. the exhibits are so much fun and educational. Great place for kids and adults. There are exhibits for all ages. Will definitely be coming back.

Nancy Wolf

Such a fun place! Took out 3.5 year old grandson too the planetarium and he saw Big Bird and Elmo explain the night sky. He loves it!

L. Edstrom

Went here with parents and brothers. We had a pretty good time. We are all over 18, and some things were a little more targeted to younger people but other things were still fun to do and look at. We left the Lazer show in the planetarium because it wasn't for us. The submarine was neat and my brothers' favorite part. A nice afternoon together.

rebecca bauerlien

Awesome place, nice building a little pricey. Definitely aimed more towards children and I was not aware of that prior to going but if I had a kid I’m sure they would’ve loved it!

Carla Bentley

Wonderful place to learn and play! Nice walk to Mt Hood Brewing Company and their wood fired pizza at Tilikum Crossing. Great location for walking along river also. Amazed at the play/learn areas for children of different ages. Highly recommend!

tik otaganonta

Dear OMSI : You've got some interesting exhibits, but please try harder to make those exhibits, both permanent & rotating ones, more touchable (& thus, more accessible) for your visually-impaired visitors. Try! Especially that your tickets are expensive & the 3-D printing technology is so much cheaper now. I & my blind daughter were dismayed to find so few exhibits touchable. 90% are just visual.

Prince P

Great place for kids and adults. Diverse and seasonal events throughout the year. Lots of play area for kids, especially for ages 3+. My 14 month old had a great time. Check their website for event updates, most of them sell out fast especially on weekends. Costco, and Groupon sometimes have discounted tickets.

Dee Walker

I am always delighted with OMSI’s Staff in person contact and by telephone. The Custom Service is always stellar. All of my concerns are always immediately addressed with professionalism.

Heart

Great museum. A lot to see and do here. Plenty of hands on exhibits. Some permenant and a lot of temporary exhibits. A planetarium. Laser light shows. Monthly events. Helpful and informative staff. Great location. Plenty of parking. Well worth a visit if you are in Portland.

Kim Boldrini-Senn

This was my first OMSI experience after a lot of hype, but compared to the many science museums I have taken my child to I was disappointed. I just didn’t think there was that much for him to see/ touch/ experience and the prices were a bit high (higher than most science museums plus paid parking and extra charge for each exhibit). Boston and North Virginia are top notch. There were some exhibits that entertained for quite a bit (animal outfits /exploring as well as the test your own boat /water play), but nothing else really hit. The Superdogs film we saw was amazing, but the stadium was overwhelmingly high. The laser light show we saw was horribly boring - I almost walked out, but my kiddo fell asleep (don’t watch The Beatles!). The snack lunch selections were expensive, but the restaurant was more reasonable and quite tasty. I would say your money is better spent by going to the Children’s Museum and Forestry Center or free at Tanner Springs and hiking in the forest. Sorry OMSI, just didn’t hit the spot.

Kirsten Leniger

Always a great place to learn and have fun! The memberships are great, especially if you go a few times a year (it's nice to be able to show up for an hour and leave without feeling like you need to stay all day to get the price of your admission). Right along the waterfront in Portland if you want to take a stroll or rent a bike.

Yousreng He

Great place to gain more knowledge relate to science and technology

Zachary Dickerson

OMSI is a hands-on science and tech museum likely targeted for the 8-15 year old audience. However, it still has plenty of interesting exhibits for older audiences to enjoy. Of note is a temporary exhibit called "Exquisite Creatures" which is an art exhibit revolving around the natural beauty in the bugs and animals around the world. That was the true highlight for me on this trip. There is a planetarium and an IMAX theatre but I didn't experience those as they cost a little bit extra. Museums like these are what sparked my interest in the sciences and should be supported. Double check before you visit what the rotating exhibit is as it could make or break your trip! And look out for the OMSI after dark specials if you are 21+!

Marc Dewey

Good place to explore on a rainy day but overall the exhibits felt dated (it was almost the same as I remember it when I last visited over 20 years ago). Small children will enjoy the hands-on exhibits but honestly there is little here for adults to justify the hefty entrance fee. Came during the Pixar exhibit and even that was a let-down.

John Roberts

Four Stars I love this place it's constantly changing there's always new exhibits you can keep taking your family back here to something new

Brad Stewart

Amazing place to take the kids.they can learn and play.

Melissa Gonzalez

I am a huge nerd and lover of museums. However, this one wasn't working for us. I am used to museums that are either free, or free parking or just bigger in general. Initially, you pay $5 to park. Additionally, you pay $17/person for admission, THEN they make you pay for the exhibits. The King Tut exhibit is understandable, considering it is a rotational exhibit. They also make you pay to see the IMAX, the planetarium, the submarine tour and a few other things. This museum is 2 stories, the first story being the gift shop and industry section if you don't pay for extras. The second level is skeletons/paleontology (with lab) and maternity. There is also a live reptile section. This museum is very hands on and great for kids to learn. But, on the other hand, it is not a recommended museum for adults.

Nicole Miller

We had a great time here

Chris Chan

Old museum—it’s run down and dirty and feels like they haven’t changed the exhibits in a long time. Really tiny and not great for adults. The planetarium was unfortunately a joke and we ran out of things to do in less than an hour! Only giving this two stars because the Pixar exhibit was good.

Rustell LoManto

OMSI is a large open spaced science center. There are plenty of activities for a wide range of ages. Today we visited the Science of Pixar exhibit which was really well done. The Theory food is great but I wish the Mac n cheese was more kid friendly instead of funky.

Zack Ide

Awesome place to spend a day with the family. The Ride Simulator, iMax Movie Theater, Planetarium (with laser light show options), Permanent Exhibits, Seasonal Exhibits, and After Hour Events are all worth attending when you come visit the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. If you have someone interested in submarines, then there's one more reason for you to check this museum out next time you find yourself on the East side of Portland.

Arlin Sensenig

We enjoyed the king Tut exhibition. It was very busy with it being holiday season . The staff was all friendly and helpful even tho it was so busy. The children had so much fun in the play area.

Amber Schippert-Bell

Has everything, science labs, biggest theater I've seen, play ground, planetarium, and a submarine tour. By the way Doug is the best at the tours. So much to see n do. Gift shop is awesome, we brought home so many projects to do. Couldn't fit it all in one day! Become a member

MIchael Davison

Mesamerica was very relaxing. Awesome kaleidoscopic images swirling and undulating to take you inside your mind.Got a bit repetitive and about 15 mins too long
