The Best Places To See in Eugene

The Museum of Natural and Cultural History is an attractive authority on the prehistory of Oregon. Time surprisingly passes far more easily than at the Oregon Historical Society in Downtown Portland.

This place was great. We almost didn't go due to the mixed reviews but we (grandma, two science-y parents and a 3 and 6 year old) all enjoyed it.

Plus our entrance was free as we are members of our local science museum. It is a small gem.
