Party rate was a flat rate for two hours and not a pay per child model like other places. I appreciate the blending of play with technology; dressing up and seeing onself in different backgrounds given the green stream and scanning dinosaur drawings into a landscape. I hope this museum continues to grow and have more for older kids to play, explore and learn. The bathroom situation- a single which requires a code, is a bit lacking.

We made a last minute reservation as we were driving from Milwaukie all the way to Hillsboro. Our original plans didn't work out but wanted to give my 16 month old a fun day anyway. From the second we walked in we were greeted with genuine enthusiasm for being there. I love the layout as I can watch him from anywhere. There was so much for him to do (even though he was at the train table 80% of the time!) and it was all SO cute! I don't know if we just got lucky, but every other parent/caretaker was extremely kind as well. Also, they give out a free toy and snack on the way out which definitely helped with the heartbreak of leaving. We will definitely be back a bazillion more times!

The exhibit was smaller than usually thanks to the second floor remodel, and it was okay but not great; worth the $5 but not much more. Kind of cool to see the skeleton casts of a mosasaurus and early large fish but otherwise a flop. The passport stamp locations are the only spots that talk about the presumed cause of extinction for each age so you don't really get to read them as small kids are trying to stamp their pages. Also, there is no mention of current monsters of the abyss like the giant squid, angler fish, or giant isopod.

Play Street Museum is located in a nice shopping center with plenty of parking. When we arrived, we were greeted and welcomed by the employees. It is a shoe-free place so make sure you're prepared to wear socks. I was impressed by the entire setup of Play Street Museum. It is very clean, accessible for all ages, and there is a variety of play options. The setup makes it easy to move around to each area. There is an airplane that has different realistic airplane sounds. There is a food/kitchen area, a veterinarian office, a home space with a kitchen and babies, an outer-space section, an ice cream truck, tables with different activities like drawing, sorting, building, and a large lego table. There is so much imaginative play options. All of the toys were clean and seemed new. There is also options to add extra activities like make your own slime, paint pottery, and dye a hat or apron. Play Street Museum also offers to host parties. We loved our hour and a half of play time at this awesome spot! At the end of your visit, the kids get to pick out a snack. I am looking forward to when a Play Street Museum opens close to my hometown because this was amazing! Thank you Play Street Museum Vancouver for a fun time!

The ticket comes with a tour of an actual boat, which we did first, it's a steep ladder to go down into the boat so I would recommend only to people in better health. You can walk on top of the boat as well if you can't go down inside. The actual museum itself is so well curated and has SO many rooms and exhibits to look at.

It's truly top notch, and as my old man builds, scripts and funds museums, I've been to more than my share. The variety of exhibits, the excellence of the writing in the narratives (the one on the Coast Guard rescues in the bar is heart wrenching and moving), and the sweep of the architecture make this a truly excellent museum. I didn't have any issue with the staff as some have written about, and I cannot imagine anything they could have done diminishing my enjoyment of this museum. I look forward to visiting the new addition when it is completed.

Definitely recommend hitting this museum if coming to Astoria. Has a small part in the Goonies movie, if that's your jam. There is some group package discount for the mansion, the movie museum, and I believe the Heritage Museum.

We had a birthday party booked for my 6-year-old and had to cancel the morning of because she woke up with a fever (every parent's nightmare scenario). Molly was incredibly responsive, kind, and understanding, and she went above and beyond to be fair and compassionate about the last-minute cancellation. Her empathy and professionalism meant so much during a stressful moment. Beyond that experience, I've also taken my older child to Experiment PDX for a drop-in play day, and the staff were just as wonderful. They were warm, patient, and genuinely engaged, making my child feel welcomed and special from the moment we walked in. Experiment PDX is not only an amazing, creative space where younger kids can explore, experiment, and be curious--it's also a place run by people who truly care about families. The combination of an incredible environment and exceptional customer service is rare, and Molly and her team absolutely deliver. I highly recommend Experiment PDX to any family looking for something special.
