    See

  • Evergreen Aviation Museum. 00 NE Capt. Michael King Smith Way. 1-503-434-4180. ttp://www.sprucegoose.org/. aily 9AM-5PM. Closed on major holidays.. 13/one museum; $30/both museums & IMAX; discounts for youth and seniors. This is really three attractions in one: museums of aviation and space travel, and an IMAX theatre. Howard Hughes' '''H-4 (HK-1) Flying Boat''', better known as the '''Spruce Goose''', is the most well-known, but there are over 60 other aircraft and spacecraft to see. The space museum has a pleasantly even-handed coverage of the international history of space exploration, with unique exhibits such as an ICBM in a simulated silo. There is a good cafe here. Enough to see that aviation fans will want a whole day.
