Portland Zoo, OMSI offer fun and education flSSS Zoo ■HvW.w.y “Something tells me it’s all happening at the zoo . . Oregon’s zoo is located in Portland. It claims to be the “elephant capital of America,” and has a “beautiful penguinarium,” a “fabulous zoo railway,” and sports a children’s zoo and a special performance theater. But more than , its self proclaimed assets, the zoo also offers regular zoo-type things: a good place to walk around in, all kinds of animals to talk to, watch and feed and lots of zoo-type food. It costs 75 rents to get into the zoo. Children 6 through 15 are admitted for 35 cents and children 6 and under are ad mitted free. The zoo is open every day of the year except Christmas, from 10 a.m. until dusk. ■kw;«?s55 OMSI On Sept. 29, 1896, John Cyprian Stevens foretold the future of OMSI—the Oregon Museum of rience and Industry. “Oregon needs a museum for consultations. Your children need such a museum as one of the educational advantages to which they are entitled. “Will you not put your shoulder to the wheel and establish the nucleus of a collection that will someday be the pride of Oregon?” Oregonians did, and OMSI, with its main branch located in Portland, is the result of con tributed efforts —money, materials and services—and has never been supported by tax money. Self-defined as an en tertaining and educational living science museum,” OMSI is open during the fall, winter and spring seven days a week. Admission for adults is $1, for students, 50 cents, and for senior citizens (65 and over), 50 cents. OMSI members are admitted free. OMSI’s major e>hibits are: —Hall of Electricity.
