Portland Childrens Museum

The whole Museum is a favorite stop when traveling to Portland to visit family. Our child especially likes the Vroom Room where kids can...

My toddler loves the Dig Pit, Baby Garden, and Treehouse adventure. The museum has changing tables in the bathrooms and staff seems to make an effort to keep it clean and wiped down which is important to me.

Well, I have been looking forward to go going to this place for a long time, but it wasn't as great as I expected to to be. Some staff (some were nice though) was unfriendly and snobbish, and I feel like I was discriminated against racially and unfairly singled out several times. I also noticed there were a lot of sick people there who were quite obviously ill. I, personally, would stay at home if I were that sick, as not to infect others, but now I am sick as a result of going there. There was very limited and unaccomadating bathroom facilities, and the dining area was so small I literally saw about 10 people standing around a table trying to eat standing up. There must be only 7-8 tables in the whole place. The exhibits were substandard, I have seen better exhibits in my small town childrens museum. For the price, I would say go to the zoo instead!
