Portland's OSMI was an unexpected surprise during our recent spring break trip with our kids. We had no idea what to expect as we hadn't done any research before visiting the museum. As we purchased tickets to enter, museum staff asked us if we would be interested in joining a Submarine Field Trip Tour. Since it sounded like a unique experience, we accepted their offer - and we were so glad we did!

We followed the tour guides on a brief 3-minute walk from the museum to view the real-life submarine, which was previously donated by the US Navy. The guides were exceptional, providing detailed information about each aspect of the submarine. Naturally, we were curious about the history behind it, how the Navy stayed in the submarine, and how they went about cooking and sleeping. The tour answered all those questions and more! It was an unforgettable tour that surpassed all our expectations, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Post-tour, the kids were ravenous and ready for a meal. We headed to the museum's café and were surprised at how delicious the food was! I don't think our hunger fueled our impression of the high-quality food - it was just that good!

In conclusion, OSMI museum provided us with an unforgettable experience during our spring break trip, and we would have missed a lot if we hadn't gone. The submarine field trip tour was captivating, and the food at the museum's café was simply amazing. So, don't ever miss this fantastic opportunity to experience OSMI!
