Take a free guided tour of Portland’s museum of trees. Hoyt Arboretum has multiple opportunities to learn about the unique trees and plants of the Pacific Northwest.

This beautiful nature oasis features 2,300 species of trees and plants from around the world along 12 miles of trails. Hoyt Arboretum is free to visit with lots of great cheap events available each week, including preschool walks.

While you’re there, explore Washington Park on the free shuttle, which picks you up at the visitor center. You can make a stop at the park’s best attractions, including one of our city’s free rose gardens.

Here is more information about upcoming free guides tours at Hoyt Arboretum.

Explore the walking trails of Hoyt Arboretum with a trained volunteer tour guide during these free tours. Each tour is held on Sunday at 11 a.m. and lasts an hour.
