Portland Japanese Garden is a fun and educational environment for students and a great place for your class’s next field trip! Let one of our knowledgeable Garden Guides be your class’s ambassador to the Garden and receive a discounted rate.

The Garden books tours for children in grades 2nd through 12th only. Student groups must be accompanied by a Garden Guide when visiting Portland Japanese Garden. Tour reservations must be made at least three weeks in advance of your desired tour date. We allow a maximum group size of 35 people in the Garden at a time. If your group is larger than 35 students and chaperones, the Tour Department can work with you split up your group.
