When I was in Portland a few weeks ago, my kids and I went on the submarine tour at OMSI. Fascinating look at something you normally only see in movies. I would highly recommend it.

- briffle 7y agoThey actually have events where you can spend the night on the sub at omsi.. Our cub scout pack has looked into it, but several of us parents are over 6' tall, and don't think we would fit on the bed.

- Freak_NL 7y agoAs long as we're on the topic of submarines you can enter; anyone looking to visit a Soviet/Russian submarine can do so in Germany. The Tango-class submarine B-515 (now known as U-434, launched in 1976) can be visited year-round in Hamburg: https://www.u-434.de https://www.u-434.de I can recommend the guided tour. At 200cm standing room was limited for me, but the sub is quite accessible as long as you're not overweight.
