這是Columbia River Maritime Museum,也算是整個Astoria最大的博物館展廳了吧,成人12刀,6歲以下兒童免費,另外這里還有一個3D電影,以鯊魚的主視角講述了海洋生態(tài),片長40分鐘,宣揚的還是一種保護生態(tài)的環(huán)保思想,說道生態(tài)環(huán)保最直接的無非就是減少人類的干涉與生態(tài)介入及尋求有續(xù)發(fā)展。。。每人5刀,兒童免費,但沒有3D眼鏡。制作中規(guī)中矩吧,更多的是一種對環(huán)保的支持,電影每個整點播放。 這里曾是重要的漁港,也是二戰(zhàn)時重要的補給港之一,但是這里的航海氣候卻一直變化莫測,讓人難以捉摸,從古至今都有無以計數(shù)的船只失蹤事件,名聲上不如百慕大響亮,但實際數(shù)據(jù)卻令人驚嘆,入口處就有工作人員在做一定的講解大展廳放了好多船,從17世紀的帆船一直到后來的蒸汽船。。。都是這片海域每個時代最具代表性的船模還有個船長室模擬器,小孩子們的最愛 內(nèi)館依舊用了各種小型船模來敘述各段歷史早些年這里的漁業(yè)極其發(fā)達,各種包裝出口的魚類,尤其以罐頭裝居多老式蒸汽船操舵模擬器,不一樣的體驗還展示了各種動物毛皮,有海豹,棕熊,黑熊等等,摸了摸手感不靈,毛質(zhì)很粗很硬,并不十分舒服,可能借此宣導大家不要一味追求動物毛皮吧 3D影院就在入口附近,提前10分鐘開門,場地不大,但人也不多,滿座大約也只能坐30來人左右吧,不過3D眼鏡還是很給力的出口必經(jīng)的禮品店我們出來時已過了中午12點,但看到還有游客參加船上的岸上團剛剛抵達博物館。博物館門口剛好有個小火車站點,我們原本是計劃搭Trolley回港的,但等了將近半個小時都毫不見蹤跡,算了,別耽誤時間了,還是搭巴士早點回船用膳吧至于郵局就在市中心班車下車處附近,但周末全天打烊,如果要寄明信片的話可以去書店或博物館購買后再去加油站買郵票。才發(fā)現(xiàn)這一段市區(qū)路限速是20英里,目測超速的一大堆。。。 15分鐘到港后,正值一天中最熱的時候,烈日高照,趕緊上船吹空調(diào)了,Elaine也抱怨說要曬死了這也是Regatta上最后一個沒雨的好天氣,雖說大家都知道阿拉斯加向來以變幻無常的天氣聞名于世,因此也不期待能天天陽光燦爛,但至少不至于每天陰雨吧,要知道歷年來5月阿拉斯加的降雨量都遠低于8,9月,哎,這人品?。?/div>

The exhibits and history are excellent. Wish we had more time to watch the movies but what we were able to view was interesting. This is a place that you should go out of your way to visit.

This is an amazing place to visit The displays are great for the area The coast guard rescue boat is worth the visit you can get up close and personal. A nice place take some time or you will miss something

Great museum covering unusual topics like river and bar pilots as well as history of the area. Lots of information about the Coast Guard.

Visiting Astoria, Ore., must include a stop at the Columbia River Maritime Museum. A long stop! Regardless of your level of interest in history, this museum has something for everyone. There is great information on the overall history of the area relative to its waterways, including the fishing industry, immigrant contributions to the area, the Coast Guard and military history. I was particularly interested in the WWII section - great info on the Japanese attacks and the role Oregon played in the Pacific theatre during the war. Allow enough time to read the exhibits and enjoy the boat replicas. YYou won't be disappointed

I liked visiting here the museum Is beautifully set up clean modern ..my favorite part would have been the 3d movie they offer for an additional fee to the entrance fee. One of the best 3d films I've watched and while explaining a lot of information does it in an attractive and entertaining way. Also highly liked the tour of the light boat outside

Even if you are not into boats and maritime themes, go to this museum. We lost track of time there, very interesting history of "the bar" also known as the grave yard of the pacific. Also lots of the Coast Guard training that is near by to rescue people who get caught here. The mighty Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean and at times waves of 30'+ and 60 knot winds. A small group of elite bar pilots get the boats safety in and out. A very modern and informative place.

spend some time here and don't rush.very informative about the area and the river.I never realized how important the USCG is and how dangerous the job can be.

The museum is highly focused on the rich local maritime heritage of the area, with many exhibits that are somewhat unique. The museum is much larger than I had anticipated, and my wife and I spent about 3 1/2 hours at the museum. We toured the museum on Saturday, February 21 and were told that the lighthouse ship tours end at noon. We were early, and am glad that we were able to tour the ship (I had never heard of a lighthouse ship). Travelers should confirm that that the ship tours are available.

Great place to learn the history of the area. Lots of interesting exhibits. Great location. You can even tour the ship outside.

We really enjoyed our visit to the museum, including the Lightship. Very well done for old and young alike. Had a good representation of historic maritime information right on up to current information. The boats on display also gave a good representation of what life on the ocean is like. Five Star!

This was a fascinating and well-put-together museum. We spent over three hours here, and probably could've stayed longer!

I took two young boy children to this museum. One aged five, the other aged ten. We stayed for a few hours and there was no wining about being bored and all that stuff. We also did the submarine and it was awesome. The boys got to sit at the controls. We also got to see the living quarters and hear about life on a sub. It was fascinating. We will visit again.

Who knew that one of the most dangerous travel routes for ships was where the Columbia River enters the ocean? This museum did a good job of telling about "the bar" and the many ships and souls lost. The lightship tour was nice too. I love history and my husband is former Navy, so it was fun for us both!
