Its riverside trails, quiet paths through evergreen forests, water garden teeming with life, bright wildflower meadows, and open views across oak savannas delight all ages. Located within Lane County's Howard Buford Recreation Area, the Arboretum lies between the Coast Fork of the Willamette River and the slopes of Mount Pisgah.
The Science Factory came to fruition in June, 2002, when a committed core group of leaders staked careers and financial commitments to ensure that a children's museum and planetarium could continue to exist in the Eugene/Springfield metro area. The Science Factory has since doubled its membership base and attendance, achieving financial solvency, and is now poised to expand and grow with our community's needs.
