Please do yourself the favor of visiting during June when the roses are in full bloom! Plan to use public transit or leave your car in one of the lots around Washington Park (like the zoo, Japanese Garden, Hoyt Arboretum, Pittock Mansion) use the shuttle. Use the bathroom before heading down into the garden, especially if you have young kids with you. We love to bring a picnic lunch to eat in the Shakespeare Garden (it's one of the few shady spots so don't forget your hats and sunscreen!).
