Portland Children’s Museum is a children’s museum located in Portland’s Washington Park, adjacent to the Oregon Zoo. Founded in 1946, Portland Children’s Museum is the sixth oldest children’s museum in the world and the oldest West of the Mississippi.
Children birth-10 and their grown-ups discover a world of hands-on experiences designed to let their creativity and imagination soar at Portland Children’s Museum. Our mission is to develop innovative problem-solvers through playful learning experiences, and there’s no better place to have fun and learn at the same time! Explore nature in Outdoor Adventure, splash in Water Works, create in Clay and Maker Studios, and pretend play in The Market, Pet Hospital, and Theater–plus so much more. Come make, play, and share with us!
