Pathways To Discovery

"Our past is our present to you"

Located in Reedsport on the central Oregon coast the Umpqua Discovery Center is an educational and cultural resource for all ages making active, innovative contributions to preserving the Oregon "Tidewater Community" experience. Interactive exhibits and programs illustrate how land, water and people have shaped each other over time. The Umpqua Discovery Center is open 7 days a week year round except for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Days.

Summer hours (June 1 through September 30) are from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Winter hours (October 1 through May 31) are from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

 Admission is $8.00 for adults and $4.00 for children 6 through 15. Children under 6 are free. For senior citizens 65+ the rate is $7.00. We also have a family rate that allows parent(s) and up to 3 children (6-15) to visit the Center for a family rate of $20.00.  Guided tours for groups are availablewith advance reservations.
