Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for the Portland City Tour?

A: There isn't officially a minimum age requirement for the Portland City Tour, but I’d recommend it for ages 6 and up. Kids might enjoy the rose garden and the views from Pittock Acres! Just keep in mind that it involves some walking, so younger kids might get tired.

Q: What should I wear for the tour? Any recommendations?

A: I'd suggest wearing comfortable shoes since you’ll be walking a bit, especially in the Rose Garden and Pittock Acres. Dress in layers too, the weather can change quickly in Portland! Don't forget a light jacket and sunglasses for those views of Mt. Hood.

Q: What’s the parking situation like near Director Park?

A: Parking can be a bit tricky, but there's a parking garage at 10th & Yamhill nearby. It’s reasonably priced, but can fill up quickly on weekends. You might also find street parking if you're lucky. Just plan to arrive a bit early!
