Pendleton has a LOT of high quality cultural attractions, and ideally visitors should stay for a couple days and do them all, but if you only have time for one, this is where I’d send you. The addition of interpretive information about contemporary Native culture sets it apart from most museums, and you’ll leave with a good understanding of Plateau culture. Plan 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

This has always been a great Casino, they just added a family fun center (Bowling & Kid stuff). We already loved it for the Casino, Hotel, Cineplex & great food at the Plateau. Now it's even better.
