The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) is a world-class science museum that offers interactive exhibits, a planetarium, and a giant screen theater. Dedicated to making science accessible to all, OMSI provides a range of sensory-inclusive resources. Visitors can check out sensory bags containing noise-canceling headphones, weighted lap pads, and fidget tools at the concierge desk free of charge.
For visitors needing a quiet space to decompress during their visit, OMSI offers a dedicated calming room that is available upon request at the front desk. The museum also provides visual schedules and maps that outline sensory-friendly routes and locations with high, medium, or low sensory input.
To enjoy a quieter experience, it is highly recommended to visit on weekday afternoons after school field trip groups have departed.

The entire facility, including exhibit halls and theaters, is fully wheelchair accessible.
