World Forestry Center at OMSI, Portland, Oregon - Travel Oregon
Founded in 1944 and one of the nation?s top ten science museums, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) is a world-class attraction and educational resource. Five exhibit halls and eight science labs offer 219,000 square feet (20.000 mý) of brain-powered fun through hundreds of interactive exhibits and hands-on demonstrations. OMSI's multi-attraction complex features a big-screen OMNIMAX? Theater, the Northwest's largest planetarium, and the U.S.S. Blueback, the last fast-attack, diesel-powered submarine built by the Navy and after serving for 31 years, the last of its kind to be decommissioned.
