🦅 Visit the High Desert Museum

More than a museum — it's an indoor-outdoor exploration of the Oregon desert with live animals (otters, raptors, reptiles), a recreated frontier town, native cultural exhibits, and rotating art shows. Easily a half-day with kids; adults stay engaged too.

Good to know

• Allow 3-4 hours minimum for the full visit.
• Members of AAM-reciprocal museums get free entry.
• Café on-site; outdoor exhibits are stroller-friendly.
