The Forest Learning Center is a fascinating place that attracts more than 200,000 visitors every year from all over the world.
Indoor exhibits are open early May to early September 3 for the weekend days of Friday thru Sunday. In summer season they also open on Mondays.
Built by Weyerhaeuser Company, the Forest Learning Center tells the story of the rebirth of the forest. The Forest Learning Center tells the story from nature’s perspective and gives a hands-on approach to learning in the Kids Room where families can touch lava rocks, learn about the animals of the Pacific Northwest, and discover how trees grow.
Enter the “eruption chamber” to view a video of what the forest looked like immediately after the eruption. Hear a first-hand report from a local newscaster who barely escaped.
The second half of the center depicts the regeneration of the forests surrounding Mount St. Helens. Breathtaking photographs and life-size models of loggers working in the blast zone.
