See What Life Was Like On The USS Blueback Submarine At Oregon Museum Of Science & Industry
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to live and work on a submarine, you’ll want to visit the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in Portland. It’s home to the USS Blueback – a former Navy submarine that served from 1959 to 1990.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate


OMSI is located at 1945 SE Water Avenue, Portland, OR 97214.

Make sure to add the additional submarine tour ticket when you purchase your museum admission. The cost is $8.50 ($7.50 for museum members).

Tours are limited to just six guests at a time, so you can enjoy a safe, socially-distanced tour.


These bunks were used for "hot racking." One bunk was assigned to more than one sailor. As a sailor woke up and started his shift, another would take his bunk to sleep after completing a shift.


Make sure to get your tour tickets online in advance. You can purchase them on the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry’s website. You’ll also want to give the museum’s Facebook page a follow so you can see all the latest news and exhibits.
