This wheelchair-accessible Oregon Museum is open every day from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and admission is free.
At the Thomas Condon Paleontology Center scientists actively study the John Day Fossil Beds’ 50 million years of plant and animal evolution through a massive collection of 40,000 fossils, including the remains of early cousins of elephants, camels, rhinoceroses and sabertooth tigers. The whole family is sure to enjoy the fun, interactive exhibits scattered throughout the museum, including microscopes, touch tables, fossils, bones, formations and a Junior Ranger Program for younger visitors.
