Your Gateway to Accessible Oregon: State Welcome Centers

Oregon's state welcome centers aren't just starting points for your journey. They are accessibility champions. Every Travel Oregon welcome center has achieved triple certification: Wheel the World Accessibility Verified, KultureCity Sensory Certified, and Hidden Disabilities Sunflower recognized. This makes Oregon the first state to ensure its official visitor resources are as accessible as the destinations they promote.
Our trained staff understands that every traveler has unique needs. Whether you're seeking sensory-friendly spaces, detailed accessibility information, or personalized recommendations tailored to your specific needs, our welcome center teams provide expert guidance with genuine care. From tactile maps and large-print materials to quiet spaces and comprehensive accessibility details for attractions statewide, these centers serve as your trusted resource for planning an inclusive adventure in Oregon.
Look for the State Welcome Centers information at the bottom of each region's page.
Travelers' voices
Real experiences. Real impact
Shane Burcaw
“Accessibility for me does not mean that I’m no longer disabled, but rather that I can experience the world in full with my disability.”
Zahna Simon
“It’s meaningful to feel embraced in a new city - when somewhere is accessible, I feel seen, included, and able to experience any place in my own way.”
Kaylee Bays
“When I thought of going somewhere like Central Oregon, my fear came from automatically thinking I was going to be excluded because it’s outdoors. That assumption of not being accessible, not being possible. But this weekend has shown me that there are so many places and so many people who have taken steps to make it inclusive.”
Jennifer Allen
“There’s about one in five people that are impacted by a disability, and that’s my family: we are five people, and one out of our five is impacted by a disability. But if we’re traveling somewhere, then five out of our five are impacted.”
