Washington Park

The zoo is an always amazing! I love the zoo! All of the otters are my favorite! My only complaints are I wish they would fix parking and maybe have more zoo volunteers and keeper engagement.

I wish keepers would talk more about our animals on their youtube channel similar to some of the zoo tv shows that exist. It’s fun to learn about the animals personalities and get to know them personally!

Love this place. I visited the Forestry Building, the arboretum, the test gardens, the rose garden, the Japanese Garden, and diner inside the zoo entrance gates.
And the Max and Park shuttle are the best and easiest ways to travel

Spent less than $2 on parking and $22 on a admission and walked through for an hour. This was my second time visiting the Portland Japanese Garden, but first time during the middle of Fall season. The Falls colors are breathtakingly gorgeous and this would be a great location for a romantic outdoor picnic, depending on weather, and it's super peaceful and tranquil. They have restrooms, water fountains, a gift shop, a real tea house, and at certain times guided tours! Wonderful place to visit and walk through to just slow down and enjoy nature!

Beautiful park adjacent to the Japanese garden in Portland. Tennis courts and roses...two of my favorites things. What a welcome surprise this was, only discovering it because I couldn't find parking nearby. Faced with a long walk back to the car, I was looking for a shortcut, and decided to cut through Washington park. This place was stunning with roses as far as the eye can see! How I wish I had made time to see the entire thing but what I did see just walking through the edge of it was spectacular!

I love Washington Park for its numerous grand features! Amongst the vast hilly expanses and winding trails are various thematic gardens, including the massive arboretum! You have the Japanese Garden and Rose Garden just next to each other, and behind them runs Wildwood trail, leading to the Winter Garden, and then the Magnolia Garden as one of my favorite features about this enchanted gem! And can't forget the free-to-use outdoor archery range! 😱 Oh right and the zoo too.

Come see this place it is so nice and the Japanese garden masterpiece. The park is huge with different attractions but worth the time and money.

This is such a beautiful park near downtown. There are tons of tennis courts, a playground, not to mention the rose garden, etc. We drove around the park and walked a bit, and we were so jealous we didn’t have our dogs with us to walk! Incredible for walking pups, a picnic, etc. So huge we didn’t even get through it all driving!

One of the greatest, if not the greatest urban park in the world. Can be accessed through a hike through the hills if your in downtown or a ride through the MAX, Washington Park will give you unfiltered access to the beauty of the PNW, all within a short reach of downtown. This is a pinnacle of how we should combine our cities to the nature that surrounds it, instead of an urban sprawl that destroys it. So many trails to explore, hills to climb (if you love to cycle) and sights to take in. Must visit for anyone in Portland.

The Washington Park Rose Garden in Portland is a stunning oasis in the middle of the city. The garden is absolutely breathtaking, with rows upon rows of beautiful roses in every color and variety imaginable.

The aroma of the roses fills the air, making it a fantastic destination for anyone who loves nature. The garden is well designed, with pathways that allow visitors to walk among the flowers and appreciate their beauty up close. Moreover, it provides a perfect spot for photography and couples' shoot.

In addition to the sheer beauty of the garden, the park is also well maintained, with clean restrooms and helpful staff members who are always on hand to answer questions or provide information about the different types of roses.

Overall, I would highly recommend visiting the Washington Park Rose Garden for anyone visiting Portland - it's an absolute gem and a true testament to the beauty of nature.

Very nice place, lots areas to visit and see, very big zoo!!

Nice, quiet and quaint. It's biggest plus is that it's near the Tose Garden and the Japanese Garden so you can see so many beautiful things in a small area.

Rose Garden and Japanese Garden were both beautiful. Rose Garden was free to walk through. It wasn't far from the Japanese garden. It was just after the tennis courts. Japanese garden was very relaxing. There are lots of places to sit and just take in nature. I would recommend going early and making a reservation if you want to eat at the cafe.

Great place for hike n bike. There are countless routes with beautiful scenery. There’s a view point with a possible view of the three nearby volcanic peaks, including the Rainier (of course in a clear weather)

Beautifully designed, well maintained Japanese Garden. Can get quite crowded when autumn colours arrive.

The Oregon Zoo does a great job at taking care of their animals. You can tell they they are all happy, healthy, and getting the resources and attention they need. I always feel good supporting this zoo!

The Japanese Garden was fabulous, tranquil and stunningly beautiful. Many species] places to sit or just pause and take in the exquisite scenery, the bonsai, maples, koi, views of Mount Hood, waterfalls and water features.

I had an incredible time visiting the Oregon Zoo! It's a fantastic place for a family day out or a solo adventure. The wide variety of animals and exhibits left me in awe. The zoo is beautifully designed, and the staff is knowledgeable and passionate about their work.

I was particularly impressed by the conservation efforts and educational programs they have in place. It's heartwarming to see an organization dedicated to protecting wildlife and educating the public about the importance of wildlife conservation.

The habitats for the animals are spacious and well-maintained, making it clear that the well-being of the animals is a top priority. Plus, the zoo's commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices is commendable.

Don't miss the chance to see the majestic elephants, playful penguins, and the adorable otters! And if you have kids, they'll absolutely love the interactive exhibits and play areas.

Overall, the Oregon Zoo exceeded my expectations in every way. It's a must-visit destination in Portland, and I can't wait to return. Keep up the fantastic work, Oregon Zoo!

With easily accessible trails that vary in difficulty and distance, promising a great view. There's also the children's museum, the Oregon Zoo, Hoyt's and Japanese Garden.
Dog and family friendly with trails and walks for all ages and abilities.

Very cool experience even in offseason. A little past fall on a cool day and it was still great They architecture was amazing

Washington Park is a beautiful area with lots of trees and plenty of hiking trails. It is amazing that this huge park is in a city—you can easily forget where you are. There is a beautiful rose garden and a Japanese garden as well, if you care to visit. We enjoyed riding our bikes around the park but be warned—there are some hills.
