Are you ready for one of the most unique kid events in Oregon?!
Calling all junior inventors, future engineers, and curious explorers! πŸ§ͺβš™οΈ
Get ready to ignite your child's imagination at S.T.E.A.M.'d Up for Kidsβ€”the ultimate family day out where Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math come to life against the backdrop of Oregon’s rich mechanical history!
This isn't just a museum visit; it's a hands-on adventure tailored specifically for kids. We’ve taken the excitement of our famous and award-winning "Great Oregon Steam-Up" and supercharged it with interactive activities designed to get little hands dirty and big minds thinking.
πŸš€ WHY FAMILIES LOVE THIS EVENT:
Unbeatable Value: Admission is just $10 for adults/teens (13+) and FREE for children 12 and under!
Education Meets Entertainment: Your kids will be having so much fun building, riding, and exploring, they won't even realize they're learning about physics, mechanics, and history!
A Full Day of Fun: With 62 acres to explore, you can easily spend the entire day from 9 to 4!
πŸš‚ FEATURED ACTIVITIES:
Hands-On S.T.E.A.M. Stations: engage in "Build-It" workshops, make-and-take science experiments, and creative art projects.
Ride the Rails: Hop aboard the Willow Creek Railroad for a miniature train ride and enjoy the fun of our Barrel Train (included with admission!).
Steam Power in Action: Experience history in motion with a trailer ride pulled by a real Steam Traction Engine.
Explore History: All of our partner museums are open! From vintage trucks to massive caterpillar machinery, trolleys, tractors, and more! Discover the tech that built the Pacific Northwest.
Trolley Time: Take a ride on an authentic Trolley (Unlimited rides for a small add-on fee: $5 Adults / $3 Kids).
πŸ” FOOD & AMENITIES: Hungry inventors need fuel! Visit our Country Store for snacks and merchandise, or grab a bite from our on-site food vendors. We have plenty of picnic space if you prefer to pack your own lunch.
