Cozy, Car-Free Exploring
Start your visit at the World Forestry Center’s interactive Discovery Museum and end at the Cascade Cafe, where you can sip a warm latte or enjoy lunch overlooking the Oregon Zoo grounds. In between, the Free Shuttle Loop is the perfect way to see the Park without braving the elements for long stretches.
The heated, hop-on hop-off shuttle connects all major attractions—Hoyt Arboretum, Portland Japanese Garden, International Rose Test Garden, Oregon Zoo, World Forestry Center, and key viewpoints—making it easy to stay warm and dry while exploring everything the Park has to offer. With shuttles arriving every 15–30 minutes, you can settle in, enjoy the misty forest views from the window, and let someone else do the driving as you loop through one of Portland’s most beautiful places.
