Portland Japanese Garden invites military members to enjoy peace and tranquility on Veterans Day.
Nestled among Washington Park, the Portland Japanese Garden deems itself the most authentic Japanese garden outside of Japan. It features five traditional styles of Japanese gardens covering 5+ acres.
The garden is joining the ranks of several location attractions offering Veterans Day deals.
On Veterans Day, the Portland attraction salutes military service people in our community with this special admission.
Veterans Day Deal at Portland Japanese Garden
On Monday, November 11, Portland Japanese Garden is offering free admission for veterans, active duty military, and their families who accompany them. Families of deployed military personnel are also given free admission on Veterans Day. The garden is open 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
You’ll need to show a military ID, discharge papers or other official military identification at Portland Japanese Garden’s welcome center for free admission on Veterans Day.
There is an onsite parking fee of $2 per hour and the parking lots around the garden fill up quickly.
