"World Forestry Center - Educational Family Fun"
We've been to the center a few times and have really enjoyed the exhibits. The price is steep - $8 per person. You'd pay the same if you went next-door to the Children's Museum or the Zoo; for my money, the latter two are better options as each can offer several hours of diverse experiences. That said, the Forestry center is interesting and we do have good memories of our times spent there - there just isn't as much to do as at the other venues.

"Great place to learn about trees!"
We have been a couple of times to the World Forestry Center and have enjoyed it everytime. It doesn't take too long to go through, but it really gives you a different kind of learning experience. For those of us in the Northwest, it helps us learn about the things that surround us!
There are several types of exhibits. One talks about the forest canopy and what can be found in the forest. One talks about what makes up a forest. There is another that talks about what can be found under the forest. They explain about nurse logs and let you experience a river rafting adventure. You can be a smoke-jumper and learn how to plant trees. There is also a great exhibit where you can learn about 'logging lightly' and how you can make the best choices for the each day.
There is a revolving exhibit upstairs, where different artists display their work. I got to see an Ansel Adams exhibit that was fantastic.
With the zoo across the parking lot, different animals are brought over to enhance the experience.
We took my mother-in-law (from England) there and she loved it as well. I would say there is a little something for everyone.
