World Forestry Center Free Day

The World Forestry Center opens its Discovery Museum free to the public for a special free day tied to its anniversary celebration. The hands-on museum in Washington Park explores forests, sustainability and the natural world through interactive exhibits that appeal especially to kids and families, from a simulated smokejumper ride to displays on forests around the globe. Free-day visitors get full access to the galleries at no charge, making it an easy, weather-proof outing. The center sits in Washington Park near the Oregon Zoo and is reachable by the MAX light rail, with parking nearby. Just arrive during open hours; no ticket purchase is required for the free day.
