By Mass Transit
During summer, from Memorial Day through September, frequent TriMet shuttle service connects the Garden and the MAX Light Rail station at the Oregon Zoo. The shuttle service runs on weekends only in October.
On weekdays only, year-round, the Garden is served hourly by TriMet bus #63 which connects to the MAX stations at the Oregon Zoo and PGE Park. The #63 does not run on weekends.
For those who don't mind a walk—every day, the frequent-service buses #15-NW 23rd and #20-Burnside both stop at NW 23rd & Burnside, which is about 1 mile away uphill through Washington Park.
By Car
From I-405 (downtown Portland) follow signs for Highway 26 West. From Highway 26 West, take the Oregon Zoo & Forestry Center exit. Bear right after the exit and follow signs for the Forestry Center. Continue up the hill past the Forestry Center and make a right turn onto Kingston Drive (there will be a wooden sign for the Japanese Garden and International Rose Test Garden just before the turn). Follow Kingston Drive about two miles through Washington Park. At the stop sign, make a left turn onto Kingston Avenue and go two blocks. You will see our parking lot on your left.
