Review:
Columbia River Maritime Museum in Astoria was founded in 1962, and was Oregon’s first museum to meet the standards for National museum accreditation. The museum is dedicated to exhibiting 50,000 Columbia River and Pacific Northwest artifacts and photos.
Kids will learn about the perilous Columbia Bar in the Crossing the Bar exhibit, and 260 years of exploration in Mapping the Pacific Coast exhibit, among others. Another highlight kids will love is a tour of Lightship Columbia, a floating lighthouse. Films that explore everything from hurricanes to the ocean are on offer in the museum’s IMAX 3D theater.
