Are you tired of the same old boring weekend road trips? Do you have a fascination with giant wood apes? Come to the North American Bigfoot Center, where cryptids are anything but boring...even though it's in Boring. This is probably the best place for unbelievers and pop culture vultures to be convinced of Bigfoot's existence while gaining Yeti-sized slack (subgenius-approved). This has everything you would expect: scale-sized bigfoots, footprint molds, handprints, and even a world-famous bigfoot buttocks cast. See and smell the splendor of the squatch (spoiler: he stinks). The life-sized squatch is Instagram crack, so all your friends can participate in the mystery. Enjoy the interactive evidence, and dive into the historical artifacts, tribal maps, videos, and photos. Also, stop by the sensational squatch shop for t-shirts and other ephemera for your Bigfoot-believing needs. read more

Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely come again. The price is perfect. How everything is laid out is very easy to read and understand great for anybody who is an unbeliever to make them a believer. read more

Incredible place will definitely go back !!! Too much to list but we were all super impressed with the grand variety of displays, videos, images And Objects to see. THEN there's the store. My birthday and Christmas list may be filled for the next ten years wow ! Got tshirts, mug, bumper stickers but so much non traditional things to see. Beverages, windsocks, artwork, mini statues, snow globes, magnets, lamps and I can't list it all but wow it's very well organized and stocked. There was a few areas with books and even a clearance center. I had so much fun just a forty minute drive or so from home but hey I love this subject matter so if you're curious about Bigfoot/Sasquatch you gotta check this out. There's historical things all over and modern research also. The staff was super helpful the prices were competitive. I got a long sleeve tshirt on sale for $15. Regular tshirts were $25 I believe. They are cotton and well made. read more

The North American Bigfoot Center is located at the intersection of Highway 26 and 212, next to a burger place, a pizza place, and a gas station. The facility features a gift store, a free information center, and an $8 admission area featuring dozens of exhibits. These displays show "evidence" of bigfoot and historical artifacts related to the sasquatch. There's a life size replica nicknamed "Murphy" that is a popular backdrop for photos. Altogether the museum took us probably 30 minutes going at a pretty quick pace. You could take longer if you stop to read everything. The staff at the ticket counter can be seen in photos in the exhibits, so they are experts and can answer any questions you may have. I'll admit that I am a bigfoot nonbeliever, but I think the museum did a pretty compelling job of making their case. They invite you into the world of possibility and it's fun to imagine that there are things we haven't discovered and questions we can't answer. read more

Interesting and cool! They have pictures, videos and footprint molds from Bigfoot greatly put together with a story next too it. I found the foot print on the mattress fabric the best. Takes a bout an hour to 45min to go thru it all. Wish it would be bigger. The gift shop has a unique selection. We bought the Bigfoot slippers :) haha You get your money's worth. This place is very clean too! read more

Timing didn't work for us to walk through, so we stopped and took some photos outside. The owner pulled up and took pictures for us. He was very kind! I wish we could have stayed to check out the place. It is right off the highway, so this is a great stop to stretch out your legs. Can't wait to come back and go inside! read more

Friendly staff! Met expectations and a fun way to spend a couple hours. Lots of passion behind this clearly and I was excited to visit! Intriguing evidence and history that you can learn here! read more

I had a great time visiting the NABC! The service was great; they were friendly and helpful. Their selection of facts (in the museum) and the items (in the gift shop) were plenty. My favorite part of the museum are the recorded vocalizations and tree knocks that are being played in the loud speakers. It was the perfect ambiance! The gift shop is fully loaded with books, clothing and accessories including copies of original footprint castings! Yes, the castings are for sale and I totally purchased one! I think this place is great for anyone who has an interest in Sasquatch, as well as for anyone who wants to learn! read more

My grandson has been super curious about Bigfoot so we thought we 'd stop by on our way to Mount Hood. Conveniently located right off Highway 26. It's $8 for Adults. Full of Bigfoot sightings information with map detailing locations. Interesting "facts". The animatronic like Bigfoot at the entrance with sounds was his favorite. Worth a stop just for the fun of it read more

Fun experience. Def worth a stop if you're into Bigfoot. Love the breakdowns of the history and all the other countries spottings

This was a place that my daughter who loves anything and everything Bigfoot. We stopped and it's $8 per adult else if you're a senior, under 12 or military then you get a discount or free entry. They have a store of items to choose from and second location that they had lots of 3x shirts and that looked good. Many options for myself. I spoke to the guy and he said the county the museum is located in has the most Bigfoot spotting. He said Mt Hood is a hot spot for Bigfoot. They have a research lab upstairs. He said everyone that works there had a Bigfoot encounter. That's what sets them aside from the others around the US. The museum is a collection of artifacts taken or discovered from sights all over the US and Canada. They have an item that has the Bigfoot smell. It's awful. It's the smell you would expect. Raunchy. It was a good stop. read more

Tip: Call if you're coming late in day in case they close early especially during fire season Super fun roadside attraction type museum read more

This was my second time at the museum. I left just as amazed and happy as the first time. Tyler was so interesting and fun to talk to! I could have stayed all day. Niko was so nice and helpful. I was also lucky enough to meet cliff himself. He was so friendly and so willing to talk I couldn't believe it. The museum is so fascinating. I wish I could bring everyone that I know that says there is no evidence. I love the gift shop. I love everything I have purchased. All quality. If u are anywhere near this place STOP! You won't be sorry. read more

Great employees, great environment. Quaint but jam packed with info, relics, data, research, etc. make your way through the gift shop into the actual museum, wave to Murphy (bigfoot statue) on your right and walk through all the different displays of local and international data and research. Wrap up the visit by walking through the gift shop again and buying all your souvenirs, take a it stop at their incredibly clean bathroom if need be, and then be on your way. Restaurants and gas stations located in the same area so great for travelers passing through or simply for this curious folks! read more

I took my nephews while in town for the holidays. The 6 year old said Bigfoot was a myth so I took him here to show him the facts. Lol The staff was super friendly, and it was something to do during all the Covid restrictions. Turned my skeptic nephew into a believer. So much in fact he kinda was spooked by the Sasquatch sounds. Listen, I put respect on the Yeti name. Period. read more

Nice center, but they have a pervert camera in there. Supposedly set up as a thermal camera they would use for catching Bigfoot. It conveniently shows your thong through your leggings. $8 admission paid for a free show for the employees. read more

It doesn't look like much from the outside. It certainly isn't large. And for many the subject matter is surely fanciful and stretching the realm of what's possible. But whether you believe or not, the center does a great job of laying out their evidence, and their theories. Cliff and company make a compelling case for the existence of "Bigfoot". They're entertaining and informative. The conversation between the staff and the believers that visit are engaging to say the least. Kids and kids at heart will be entertained and engaged for quite a while because while not big it des take time to look at, read and see what is presented. And of course a selfie with Murphy is a given. And who knows, if you aren't a believer when you enter, you very well could be when you leave. Or at least a sceptic open to the possibility... read more

I was expecting kitch, but it was a very modern. I was very surprised at how much thought went into the museum exhibits, they thoroughly analyzed many sightings. It wasn't my cup of tea, but it was worth the stop. The gift shop was a good size, but I actually wished they had more tchotchkes. read more

They are clearly motivated to bring together all the information they can about this phenomenon. They are serious about what they are doing and bring together a mountain of evidence to illuminate the existence of these elusive creatures. Dr. Jeff Meldrum from Idaho State whose Master's thesis regarded Australopithecus locomotion and supports the mission of this museum. The dedicated staff, and expertise of Cliff Barackman, curator, who has a cast collection of 300 + casts, (not all of which are on display) make this museum a definite resource for anybody, even those just vaguely interested in the topic. The entry fee is very reasonable, but plan a good chunk out of your day to soak in all the exhibits. read more

A little small, some room for improvements, but overall an enjoyable experience for a non-believer and kids. I think the space is going to be the defining factor here as the museum area is basically a large room and there's just not quite enough space for what I think this place is capable of. The exhibits they did fit in are really well done, although I wish they'd managed to fit in more kiddo stuff as the one or two things my kids could play with quickly got worked through and I found myself more and more having to corral them. Probably just a parent thing, but would have been nice to have something like Little Foot playing in a corner. Oh yeah, no mention that I saw of Harry and the Hendersons... seemed odd read more

Took my nephews here and we had a blast. Staff was super nice and thrilled to tell us more about their knowledge and experiences with Sasquatch! Stop by for fun story's, cool artifacts and friendly people. Cool spot on your way to hiking, camping, skiing or just plain curiosity! Thanks again!! 10 out of 9 read more

It was good in all but I'm not really interested in big foot. It was a fun little experience though.

I'm spending a week in Gresham Oregon and decided to head down to boring. My goodness I sure am glad I did. This spot really takes you into a world the government is trying to hide from us. Interesting facts about big foot and fun displays for the kids. Do not recommend seeing what he smells like pew! 10/10 would recommend. read more

My boyfriend and I drove up to Boring from Corvallis to check out the North American Bigfoot Museum shortly after they had gotten all the exhibits up in October, and we both agreed that it was WELL WORTH THE DRIVE! To begin with, Cliff and his wife Melissa were absolutely wonderful hosts, happy to answer questions, pose for photos, and take pictures of us in front of Murphy, a life-size bigfoot in the exhibit area. They were very friendly and down-to-earth. The main exhibit area is well-organized and has many castings, photographs, video clips, audio clips, newspaper clippings, related masks, posters, and tattoo art, among other things. We spent about two and a half hours going through the main exhibit hall and were impressed with how well done the exhibits were and the range of types of evidence. Everything was well-lit and photography is encouraged. There were also some exhibits in the gift shop, as well as a large selection of bigfoot goodies to purchase: notebooks, T-shirts, bumper stickers, stuffed bigfoot dolls, soap, books, and much more. Visiting the North American Bigfoot Center is both educational and fun. Whether you already believe in bigfoot or just want to check out the evidence for bigfoot's existence, you need to check out the NABC! read more

I have to say that this store/museum is absolutely worth your time. They have done a great job with the museum. Can't wait to come back and visit again. Give yourself time, the displays and information found here are worth more than a quick walk through. Anyone at all interested in this topic must visit. Cliff, keep it up. read more

I will start by saying that we are not necessarily Bigfoot enthusiasts. But - this is one of the best museums of its type we have been to. The attendant was great and very helpful. We went with The Covid realities of mandatory masks and the whole facility was impeccably clean! The exhibits were SO well done and professional! We enjoyed meandering and reading each exhibit. We had a group of 14 - mostly adults and some kids and all enjoyed it. We bought Cliffs book and read about Bigfoot encounters as a group that night after dinner and no one slept well on our PNW cabin after that...lol. We even looked up Cliffs podcast for some listening on our way home. I think we are Bigfoot believers at this point :). Fun thing to do if you have an hour or two and are in the area. read more

I watched a news report about this place and I had no idea it even existed. We don't live too far from it so we decided to take A look we decided to visit on a Saturday. it wasn't too crowded, parking was really good, super easy to find. once inside we found that you can visit the gift shop for free and there are tons and tons of swag for sale stickers, glasses , books sweatshirts a very nice assortment of souvenirs. admission is only eight dollars kids are cheaper but we don't have any small ones anymore so I didn't catch the price I believe it's on the website. The exhibit is totally worth it lots of information lots of castings and pictures not a huge place inside but still plenty to look at.This is really cool place I recommend anyone who's just looking for something fun and cheap to do ..... it might make a believer out you read more

Amazing! Staff follows COVID guidelines. A must see for true believers and convincing to those questioning their belief. Staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and more than happy to discuss cryptids.

Keep it Squatchy! read more

My wife and I are huge fans of Sasquatch research and discovered, after moving to the PNW, that we were 40 minutes to the NABC. An even more pleasant surprise was that Cliff from the Discovery television show, and his lovely wife are the proprietors of this very cool center. I hesitate to call it a museum, because it's not stoic or stuffy. Cliff and his wife were very welcoming, and weren't pushy at all in regards to merchandise, etc. I didnt feel compelled to purchace "souvenirs", although we did purchace some really fun stuff. Cliffs book Finding Bigfoot was already autographed, but he was kind enough to personalize it for my wife. The paid area of the center was well worth the price of admission. Fascinating exhibits, a very cool film about a local photographs analysis, and plenty of interactive displays. The best part is they kept it real, and science based, as for us this is no joke or hoax. The subject is taken very seriously. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and plan to go back and purchase art and castings to decorate our den once we are settled. I want to thank Cliff and his wife, whose name I didnt catch, for a fantastic way to spend our day. read more
