    I have been looking forward to coming to this place for a long time. That being said, I was really…read moresaddened at how unwelcome they made me feel. Pleasant enough over correspondence via email, I was excited when I first showed up. When I walked up, I was immediately confronted and I asked if I had called to book a tour in advance. I said no initially and when I tried to go on to explain that I emailed rather than called I was told that it was a private tour only and that they weren't open. I tried to explain again that I had emailed but before I could even finish, the tour guide dismissed me again explaining that there were no more available spots. I had to rather exasperatedly explain that I had in fact contacted the museum earlier for a tour and finally when I gave my name and it was indeed written on the clipboard I was permitted to stay (seemingly reluctantly). Mind you, this was in front of the entire group of tour members who were already present and this was extremely embarrassing and rather humiliating....honestly I don't know if I would recommend this place to my friends or family if this is the treatment they will receive. I am a diehard twilight fan and again this was one of the one things that I drove over 1600 miles to see, but this was simply not the experience I hoped it would be. Long story short, the poor attitude and lack of professionalism of the tour guide really took away from the entire experience and I hope that those in charge take note and address this. Twilight fans deserve better.

    Native to Twilight - This is what I got from the shop, not twilight stuff but coasters that I collect.

    don't usually review gift shops, but Native to Twilight Gift Shop really stood out…read more Forks is such a small, community-driven town, and you can feel that the moment you walk in. The staff was incredibly welcoming and open--one of the women working there took the time to chat with us, recommend places to eat, nature spots to check out, and even pointed out cool bugs to look for (which honestly made the whole experience feel very local in the best way). I ended up having such a great conversation with her--just genuinely kind and sweet energy. Also, if you're a magnet person... this place is dangerous. They have a really great selection--not just Twilight-themed, but also Port Angeles, La Push, Lake Crescent, and the surrounding areas. My family spent way too long deciding. It's one of those spots that feels less like a tourist stop and more like a reflection of the town itself. Definitely worth popping into while you're in Forks.

    A fun gift shop to go to when in Forks. Even if you don't intend on buying much in town, this place…read moreis worth a look around if you're a fan of Twilight or if you wanted to find a general souvenir or clothing item. The clothing assortment is plentiful and featured a lot of great options for Twilight fans, Sasquatch enthusiasts, and for people just passing through for the nature. If you miss the chance to go into the timeslot-based museum across the street, this is the place to go look at Twilight memorabilia and merchandise.

    I stayed in Forks when I was visiting Olympic National Park and the Hoh Rain Forest. It was kind of…read morea trippy town to stay in. Forks was big into the timber industry in its early days before the industry declined. They are also known for their abundance of steelhead trout and salmon in nearby rivers. Forks is one of the rainiest towns in the U.S. It is located on Washington's Olympic Peninsula and has a population of around 3,000 people. When I arrived in Forks, I began to notice two big obsessions in this town - Sasquatch and Twilight. Forks hosts annual festivals dedicated to both of these things. I have never read or seen the Twilight movies, but the town of Forks happens to be the setting of the series. Even though the movies weren't filmed here, a number of locations in Forks were used in some scenes. As I drove around town, I started to see Twilight gift shops, signs and merchandise everywhere. The visitor center has Bella's truck and a gift shop that sells merchandise. I observed groups of fans that traveled to this town just to do self-guided tours of Twilight filming locations. I didn't realize those movies were such a big deal. Forks was close proximity to many of the stops that I did in Olympic National Park. The beaches near Forks like Rialto and La Push are just beautiful. There are a number of good places to eat here too. Sully's Drive-In was a popular hang-out spot. I also found a couple of coffee shops that I enjoyed. Forks is a small town that can be driven through in less than ten minutes. Everyone that I encountered in town were really nice.

The town is centrally located near several key areas of the park and about a half hour from the ocean. You could spend a day exploring checking out the twilight museum, getting a bite to eat, and shopping along the Main Street.
