Bring the kids to see a new baby porcupine, the 1904 Miller Family Ranch, or some fierce birds of prey at the Donald M. Kerr Birds of Prey Center. They are all part of the High Desert Museum, a unique nature preserve set on 135 forested acres on the outskirts of Bend. The museum opened in 1982 in order to showcase and protect the West high desert habitat through permanent and temporary exhibits, live animals, historic sets, and so much more. The museum has something for everyone, from the otters, bobcats, and badgers for the animal lovers and a real American West stagecoach for the history buffs to an exciting make-believe high desert habitat for the kids to climb and explore. The High Desert Museum is one of the top Bend attractions

This is a great place to learn more about not only many types of wildlife but also to experience their special events on history, science and more. There is a great little food court, playground and gift shop also. A great experience for any age!
