I attempted to visit the museum 25 mins prior to closing and was turned away. I was of course polite and promised to wrap my visit up well before closing (its small so easily doable) but it didnt matter to the lady at the entry. I just think its bad practice to turn business away in a small town that relies heavily on tourism and was honestly quite taken aback by the apathy. If the museum wants to close at 3:30 then just say you close at 3:30. I love Astoria but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

Low cost. Very small but still worth it. Ask for instructions for using the filming

It was $6 when I went. Pretty cool layout and it was fun making a video like a movie. Worth the $6 spent, but its a quick tour (can do in 5-30min), so dont let your expectations run wild. The right room has two screens worth reinacting. The upstairs is not open.

Some fun things to see here, part of it is reinacting film seems that you can have emailed to you. If youre into that sort of thing.

Nice little film museum! Has items from the goonies and kindergarten cop. You could also film yourself on some little movie sets with a green screen.

Awesome place. Brought back memories

A great memorys of a great movie.

Was a lot of fun and cheap!

If youre a Goonies fan then I highly recommend you check this place out. It was very cool and I got some great pics and souvenirs.

Definitely a must visit when in Astoria. Quick tour and lots of fun things to do and see.

Being a huge Goonies fan, I greatly enjoyed this place. We took our time to read the displays and reminisce on the scenes that took place at the old Clatsop County Jail. The ORV with bullet holes is parked right out front.The other half is an interactive “hot set” in which we were able to re-enact scenes from various films shot in Oregon. We met Rob, a technician that was working on the dolly cam, which enables quick 180° shots for filming dialogue. Rob was cool enough to film us fumble through our lines take after take! We will be back again. Worth every penny.

We had a great time exploring this film museum and making a little film with a film scene set they had set up. We love the movie “the goonies” so seeing all kinds of props they used on the movie was pretty neat. We took a picture in front of the Goonie Truck, pictures of the mansion across the street, tried to guess movie quotes written on pieces of paper taped onto the ceiling and walls, and did some other things. Some of their film sets weren’t working so we got in for $12- kids are free.

Best thing about it is the gift shop, lots of Goonies merch. The girl working there had no idea about any of the movies displayed.Cool little concept though. We had fun!Went to the location of the Walsh’s house from the movie but weren’t allowed to walk up and take a pic.

Good for what it is, but unless the films showcased there matter to you the only thing of interest its the jail as a historical site.

Fascinating! Seeing all the items from the movie was awesome

Havent been there yet but its the Goonies set. Honestly, there cant be any place better. Im surprised that whole town isnt a gated community by now with permanent residence. Truth is if my wife and I move back to the USA, we are moving there. Dont care if I have a long commute to work. Its too cool a place to live to care about the commute. I love it already and Im buying out the gift shop when I come. Been a huge huge fan of Goonies since I was a kid and saw it in theaters. Probably seen it 2000 times at least. I never get tired of it. Its the best movie ever made in my opinion.

This location is probably best known for the Goonies. They have a lot of fun items in here, but it is a little small.I really enjoyed making my own video and Im glad it wasnt too busy when we went.

Very small but still interesting

Unique opportunity to continue the Goonies legacy. I wish it was a more legitimate venue. But a great place to explain to your kids that old movies are awesome too

I am a MASSIVE goonies fan, and I LOVED this. Yes its small but its good fun! $5 - $6 entry fee and plenty of goodies at the gift shop! Definitely worth having at look!

It’s small but if you spend an hour there and make some movies it’s really fun for kids. The goonies car out front and tributes inside are great

The nostalgia of Goonies brought us here. While we couldn’t pass up the chance, do know it’s $6 per person and you literally see the jail cell from Goonies and a few artifacts from different Oregon movies. There’s an attempt to spice it up with some cool filming and editing features, but it’s still limited and a bit crammed. I’d recommend taking a picture outside and a quick peak from the front desk - you see pretty much everything from there. If you’re like us, fork over the $6 and say you went to the Goonies jailhouse. Just hope no one asks for more details .

It made me have flashbacks to my childhood!worst part is that it super small.its great!the people are so nice!

Not really worth the price, but its not bad. Its a cool little experience!

I visited this location this past weekend. They charged us half price ($6) total for myself, my wife, and my two young daughters to visit. Absolutely amazing experience to visit the opening sequence from my favorite movie (The Goonies) we got to stand in the cell and everything. Out front they have a replica jeep driven in the jail escape (complete with bullet holes in the exact spots as the movie, the same type orf gas can, sne saltine crackers! ) it was an awesome. Would definitely recommend anyone to check out

Cool place to stop. They have a little area where you can recreate some of the scenes and tons of memorabilia from the movie

Nothing special about this place. Hardly any information and so tiny there is not much to see. Super disappointed.

Cool to see for a quick stop along with many other things in this cool little town.

If youre into the interactiveness of making a film and viewing it, it might be worth it. Otherwise, the place is pretty small. If there are more than a few people there, it gets pretty crowded, hot, and stuffy.

Super fun with people who like to laugh and have fun! You can recreate movie scenes and see props from movies. Its only about $5-$6 a person depending on your group size. You get scenes to take home and laugh at for years to come. Goonies stuff to see too!

Great Inexpensive Starting point to The Goonies Site Seeing experience! Great shop at the entrance! Alot of hard to find Goonies and other movie Memorabilia! Even got a room key from the movie The Shining

Cool spot! Gotta see it, especially if youre a Goonies fan. Cheap to get in and they have interactive filming areas to keep your kids entertained. Self guided. One of the homes used in the movie is just around the corner too.

Pretty cool visit

Worth the visit was a lot smaller than youd think. Sad that the film portions didnt work all that well, hard to with a couple really need more people to make them worth it.I was super happy to see the Fratelllis Jeep out front.

It was alright. The price to get in wasnt bad. Its not very big at all.

Came to Astoria specifically to come check out the Goonies stuff. The Jeep out front is pretty cool, as are many of the props inside the jail. But $6 is a little steep considering the amount of stuff in there. You can re-enact some of the scenes of some Oregon movies but we didnt bother, its a little crowded. If youre going for anything other than the Goonies, I wouldnt bother. The little gift shop isnt bad but its still pretty pricey.

Unless you feel very strongly about the Goonies, this is probably a waste of your time. Any other movie filmed in Oregon might get glancing reference.

I dont regret going. My kids had fun filming clips of themselves on the fake sets they have. I think $6 per adult is a little much considering you could walk through the whole thing in 10 minutes. Its neat, but it looks more like somebodys hobby than a museum.

Cool place, I didnt realize how many movies were made in Oregon.

I was a huge Goonies fan as a kid. I had to go check this place out. Its qorth checking out. But it is small. Do expect too much. But the kids in me loved it. If your a folm fan or Goonies fan dont miss it.

You goonie! this is a cool little spot to check out $6 for admission $12 for three museums total I didnt have enough time to check out the other two museums but this was worth it. If your fan of the movie or other movies that have been recorded in Oregon I would highly encourage you check this out. I didnt realize how many movies were actually recorded in this state but its an impressive amount. Whats really interesting is that somebody created this two degrees of Kevin Bacon game... Well this museum has a billboard that explains 10 degrees of Corey Feldman. There are also rooms that have sets with videos you can actually reenact certain scenes from select movies. I didnt participate in that but I saw other people, seems like they enjoyed it. Also they have a little shop that sells souvenirs, as far as tourist prices go its reasonable and worth swinging by just to check out. I wouldnt encourage groups of 4+ to go at one time, its pretty tight.

A must see for all Goonies Fans. However, the admission is a little pricey and the museum in all is a little small. Very cool place, with some interesting exhibits that give you a chance to experiment filming movie scenes from some Oregon movies.

Cute little museum, Especially for any Goonies fan. Its not an extremely large place and I have seen that some people complain about the entry fee but well worth every penny to step inside some great film History!

It was neat to see. I had no real interest of going in.

Lots of good info!

A must-see destination in Astoria for all fans of the Goonies! This is a small museum and the film production activity is primarily for children, but anyone will enjoy a quick visit here.

All I can say is fantastic !!

Way too small. Squeeze past people in hallways. About 75% is focused on the Goonies movies. Seriously, get over it. Just some movie props. Then there is the 20% where you can crowd in to film a scene from a movie. The other 5% is a few posters or info on walls about other movies. Youre bumping into people trying to get around. It was way too short. Felt like a rip-off for $6. Think it was probably $1/min. Oh, there is the spacious room for the gift shop.

No defibrillator, so dont have a heart attack.Seriously though, this is a legal battle waiting to happen.

Small, boring. Not a lot of exhibits, and not even a lot of goonie stuff to see. Very cramped. Expensive for how tiny it is. Not a great museum at all. Dont waste your time or money

It has more movies to learn about that where filmed in Astoria and surrounding Oregon then I was familiar with, as well as props and a gift shop for all Goonie lovers!

Lots of fun to go and visit. I would love to see a little more added to it, but it is definitely worth visiting.

Just had a blast and got some great pictures of the Goonie Jeep. Great place to visit.

Really small museum but so cool! Especially if you loved the Goonies! Love the ambiance and the place. Very nice welcome and a bit of explanation of the old prison. You can spend hours in there. You can make some videos if you have the time. Great experience!

Meh.

You can no longer visit the home the Goonies was filmed in, so it was nice to get the opportunity to see the jail and Jeep used in the movie. There are also movie props from other films on display. Great little museum in my opinion, and the staff went out of their way to make sure I received my screen shots. Thank You!

Very small. Description sounded much better than what it was. Literally 3 cells with memorabilia. One room had props where you can record clips. Says you can email clips to yourself, we did but they never came to either of the emails I gave. I would highly recommend the Columbia River Maritime Museum instead.

Maybe a bit biased, because I am a Goonies nerd, but so fun, it is small but a good time!!

Great place for Super-Goonie lovers. Went with family and created a small little different film. You learn some pretty awesome stuff about Goonies and some other movies!

Totally loved this! Im a huge Goonie at heart and I fell in love!

I remember visiting here as well during spring break either 2013 or 2014 with my ex wife and our 3 kids. You can stand in the cell from the Goonies movie and its just a really fun place. Id love to come again on a long time off from work by myself to really enjoy it again. Im a fan of the Goonies and visited everywhere I could from the movie that I could. Even the Goonie house, closed to the public sadly since someone lives in it. All in all Astoria is an awesome little town Id love to live in and soak in the whole town the rest of my life.

Too much money for whats there even though it was only $6. Nothing really to see, no signage directing a person from room to room. We tried to make the best of it by making our own film. That was fun but only because we are funny. Suppose to receive our film by email. Its been a week. Ive called twice. Now they tell us it could take a month for their tech staff in SEATTLE to find our file/film and send it to us.The other museums were interesting. Go to The Column. Astoria is a beautiful city, lots of photo opportunities. Go to Fort Stevens and tour the old military base instead.

If you are a film buff and interested in learning about movies filmed in Oregon, this is the spot to go. Its focus is on the Goonies, but there are some displays that talk about other movies filmed in the state.I recommend getting the three museum pass for $12, it gets you into the Oregon Film Museum, the Flavel House next door and the Heritage Museum down the street a few blocks. 100% worth it. Youll come away knowing more about the area.

Small museum with a few things from movies filmed in Astoria. You can see the whole thing in less than 15 minutes.If I had only purchased a ticket for this attraction I would have been disappointed, but they have a package where you can see the Film Museum, Flavel House (accross the street), and the Heritage Museum. Go for the full package and youll enjoy the museum more.

Small but fun glimpse of Oregon film history. Three different sets allow visitors to film themselves in different scenes from movies or make up their own. Fun. Easy. Not at all mobility-challenged friendly.

This is the jail from the Goonies. There are two parts to the museum. One part has cameras and scenes set up that you can film yourself doing a scene from a film. The other “museum” part is literally just the jail cells with some Goonies memorabilia in it.I was with a 4 year old who couldn’t do the scenes part so the museum literally took about 2 minutes. $6 NOT well spent. Wish we had done the Victorian mansion next door instead.

Was super excited when arrived, but being diabetic needed to use the restroom before hand. Was told they didnt have a public restroom and that I would need to cross the street and climb a hill to another building to use theirs. Well u now what, not cool. Im sure when the staff needs to pee they dont have to cross the street and climb a hill. So we left and took our business elsewhere. Sad seeing how we came from Texas via way of Washington. Not cool. Wouldnt want to support a business that treats potential customers/customers this way. Fyi the Maritime Museum got your money!

Cute little place. Go down the little hall to the back and theres some historic info about the jail/town. Neat place!!

The only movie that I was familiar with that was filmed in Astoria was Kindergarten Cop, starring our former Governor. The exhibits here are heavily slanted toward The Goonies; if youre not familiar with it, most of the museum wont mean much to you.

WOW!!!! Amazing they did this...just amazing!

Really small but cool stop for goonies fans

Expensive. $6 adult $2 for kids. Not worth it.

This was a fun place to visit. We had a blast making our own short films...

I expect a little more but I have to give it 4 stars because my love to the Goonies movie.

Good for kids, not an interesting place for adults. Very small, very ‘Goonies’ based.

Love it!

Cool place located in an old county jail. Great for Goonies fans.

I didnt go inside, just took a picture outside but based on the reviews, that should be fine. They have the Goonies Jeep outside so thats cool

At best it was ok. There wasnt a whole lot to see, but if youre a film geek you might enjoy it.

Quite a bit out of the way. Nice display. Just not what we expected. Nice curator

Very fun, we went for The Goonies, but I didnt realize how many other films I knew were filmed in Oregon as well. Make sure to go next door to the Flavel House as well.

Its cute, but not very big. The gift shop didnt have what we were looking for. Needs more stickers and goodies for the Goonie lovers (other than tees). I was generous giving it a 4 star. But anything that is still Goonie in this town should get at least a 4 star. Get there early so you can buy the multi-tickets for all the sights.

A cute little museum that showcases the films set in Oregon. Its located in Astorias original jail, which makes it especially fun for the kids.

Very fun for family to experience how movies are made and act out skits. Enjoyed all the Goonie and other screen actors old pictures and history. Hope to return again soon

Quite a small museum, but it will satisfy your desires to reconnect with the Goonies movie.

Kind of a dump, but you can recreate some amazing movie scenes here.

Its tiny but really cool. Be sure to hang yourself in Jake Fratellis cell. Decent gift shop prices.

This is a hands on interactive museum, you are your own tour guide. Have fun, learn about movie making and of course get into having some Goonies fun!

The front desk lady was super helpful and very welcoming, especially as we were those people who came in the last half hour of the day.

This museum is little more than a fan-made homage to the Goonies. Little of value to see and absolutely not worth the $6 entrance. Set in the old jail house, there is more information in wall posters on the history of the jail than there is on the Goonies film. The create and edit your film feature might be fun for young ones, but even with that option it is such a tiny space it takes no more than a couple minutes to review.Youll find much better places to see in Astoria for the same entrance fee.

Its $6 per person. Two small hallways. Like 5 min. Unless you do the film , kids would like. Wasnt a fan of the place :(

Awesome wow Oregon Film Museums County Jail in Astoria “Goonies”

This was an awesome little place to experience, not a ton here but very fun and beat place to see! Worth the $6!

Small but the free short videos you create are a blast! Just have some time to think about what you want to perform before you start recording!

This was a fun little stop... But... $6? Way too expensive for what you get. Theres not that much to see in this small museum.

I got banned for life for jumping through the sunroof of the ORV sitting outside, but other than that it was awesome. Bonus: Deadpool is wearing Chunks shirt in Deadpool 2 opening scene.

Dont get me wrong, its cool to stand in the jail cell from the beginning of the Goonies, but there is little else here to justify the relatively minor cost of admission. Considering the sheer quantity of films shot in Astoria, it feels like there should be an extensive gallery of props and costumes, never before seen production videos or stills, facts and tidbits spanning both floors of the old jail house. What you unfortunately you see, is that most of the investment has gone into a computerized interactive system for making your own short films in a tiny studio with camears and green screens, and no way to keep other patrons from getting in the way. Its cool to have an interactive focus on the modern process of film making, but I want to see Johnny 5s stunt head, I want to see the screen used skull key from the Goonies. Maybe a cursory glance at the Goonies impact is all you need so long as you get a bite out of the film making process yourself, but I left feeling like I didnt get my moneys worth.

Must go if a Goonie fan, and if you have to time to spend filming your own stories. Not for kids.

Its a blast! Its small but it brings back so many memories!!

Expected to see a lot more actual movie props. There is a bunch of old Goonies products that you can sort of see through one windowed jail cell, but other than that, there are less than 10 other props from movies.
