News and Events
Hello folks and welcome to the 2024 season! If feels good to be restriction free and back to our regularly scheduled operations.
We are open 7 days a week, 9 - 5 all summer long and 9 - 4 from Labor Day until the end of the season. Tours are filled on a first come, first serve basis with admittance purchased at the admissions windows in the gift shop. Due to weather events our regular hours may vary for the health and safety of our guests and guides. Please check our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/oregonvortex) for updates and changes, especially when it has been hot or smokey!
We do offer reservations but they are unnecessary for regular tours. For those still interested in a more personal or private experience we are continuing to offer private tours and area rental. If you are interested in booking a private tour for your school group or family reunion or you want a couple hours to yourself for photography email us at reservations@oregonvortex.com or call 541-855-1543 for more information. Reservations require a minimum of 2 weeks advance notice.
We hope you are having a fabulous 2024. We look forward to seeing you, intriguing you and giving you a mystery to mull over. Stay Curious and Safe Travels!
