Discover Lincoln City's Explorience program, a series of free, hands-on learning events led by local experts. Not only will you enjoy a richer experience during your visit, you'll also be eligible to get some "members only" benefits.
Our Explorience program was created so you can add some local knowledge to the souvenirs you bring home from Lincoln City.
Topics range from clamming to bird watching to exploring tide pools, and more are added throughout the year. It's a fun way to get a little extra out of each trip.
And speaking of extra, participants can become members of our club, making them eligible for monthly prize drawings and to possibly win our annual grand prize - a vacation package.
