Weekday afternoons don't tend to be very crowded. Avoid weekends and holidays.
Tiffany ClarkMarch 1, 2012Went to After Dark Baconfest, it was packed! Come early for parking and carpool!
Dustin MillerApril 1, 2010The OMSI.Max theater is pretty cool.and for 8 bucks its worth it.the videos are really interesting and not long enough to get boring:):)
Great play area for littles ones, even a baby section.
Amy ScofieldAugust 20, 2013The new OMSI is disappointing. Prices are astronomical! Exhibits are now separate price. You can no longer bring your own food/snacks & eat in the cafeteria. You'll be asked to leave. Not worth it!
Attend OMSI After Dark. Adults only, booze allowed, and you get to play with cool science toys. Explore the museum in a child-free environment.
Kelsy WarrenJanuary 2, 2014Don't come durning Winter Break unless you want to deal with major crowds.
so much fun. go see an omnimax movie - it will change your LIFE
Looking forward to finally seeing the Body works and Brain exhibit!
Attend an OMSI After Dark Event. Last Wednesday of every month.
If you come for OMSI After Dark, go there early at 6pm because the ticket line was HUGE at 7pm.
Sean FoleyJanuary 17, 2011Watch your child and keep them from breaking the exhibits. Wastes money and takes away from experience.
Tiffany BairdAugust 15, 2010Don't bring strollers to omsi during weekends much to crowded to easyily manuver throught.- Stef PinnigerFebruary 25, 2013If you buy a membership, you still have to pay for everything extra (sub, planetarium, etc). $120 a year and the new exhibits are $15 each?? How many times can you walk through the same halls?
