Tillamook Forest Center

Set in the middle of the forest and surrounded by blackberry bushes, the Tillamook Forest Centre is an incredible place to take kids. The Center has a great display of NorthWest Animals and tells the story of Oregon's efforts toward reforesting. There is a lovely suspension bridge over the river if you make your way all the way through the center and out the back entrance. from there you can take a few different walking trails along the river and see Beaver slides and teeth marks on trees. A great place to explore!

Tillamook Forest Center, located in the heart of the Tillamook State Forest, invites visitors to discover lessons of the past, present and future at this dynamic facility with hands-on learning opportunities and a sense of exploration you’ll find nowhere else.  Develop a deeper connection with Oregon’s forests through experience and exploration – it’s fun, accessible and free.  Experience the region’s largest interpretive and educational center which showcases the legacy of the historic Tillamook Burn and the public spirit behind a monumental reforestation effort that left a permanent imprint on Oregon history while also shaping the future of sustainable forest management.
