View is in the back, no need to pay admission... although I've heard the house is worth it. ❤️

Courtney Slabaugh

The view of Portland is amazing! You don't even need to go inside the mansion, just explore the beautiful grounds around it!

Roy Britton

What a view . It's worth it just for the view . 11 bucks gets you the walk through. No flash cameras allowed, although you wouldn't need/want to. Cool piece of history

Beth Bond

Underrated site by most visitors. Most beautiful home of Edwardian period I have seen. Beautiful views of downtown Portland, Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens and maybe even Mt. Rainier. Rooms are charming

Road Unraveled

The best scenic view point for the Portland skyline ! You have to pay to tour the house, but it’s free if you just want to go to the view point out back.

Built in 1914, this French Renaissance–style estate is open for tours and popular with bird-watchers. Combine your visit with a hike on the Lower Macleay Park Trail , past evergreens and Balch Creek.

Great view of Portland from the mansion. I got there too late for the tour . Tour closes at 4pm and outside area closes at 5pm.

Kate Furman

Ten bucks to get inside the mansion but just go to the backyard to catch the view of downtown Portland.

Shannon Madison

Skip the $9 your of the inside, the real beauty is the view from outside. Bring a picnic and spread out a blanket on the lawn

Amelia Mani

The signage is quite good, no need for the standard tour . Definitely something to do on a clear day - the views are v impressive.

A beautiful century-old mansion atop the West Hills of Portland. Even if you don't do the tour , it has the best view of the city , hands down: http://pittockmansion.org

Paige Bergstrom

Amazing view of Portland ! Great sunrise spot.

Adrian Chen

Serif views ! The mansion itself is pretty fancy for something that is old. Surprising to see that a lot of things are recently added and not from the time the mansion was built.

Eric Tsai

Free to park and walk around the mansion, otherwise it's $10 to enter the mansion and receive a guided tour

Paul Lewandowski

Cool place to spend a little time - maybe pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the view .

Francesca Nicotra

Nice view of Portland but also great to visit the house, very well restored and preserved and absolutely innovative and modern for the time!

John Hardy

Wonderful display of flowers and shrubs. Beautiful architecture on display. Great history lesson for us history lovers.

Gnat Brain

The tour is worth the price of admission to up your knowledge of Portland history

Nathan Haley

The best view of Portland . A must-see.

Max Wenneker

Great views of Portland . Not necessary to pay for a ticket if you don't want to go inside.

Bill Lim

The house technically closes at 5pm but the ground stays open until 9pm and is free to enter for the great views .

Al B.

Taking the tour inside isn't really necessary imo. The view of Portland in the backyard is a must though.

Michelle Connochie

Beautiful views of the city but quite a trek

Robert Carbonell

Worth the visit. Nice view of Portland and the landscape.

Sissy Larae

Gorgeous! Who knew burnside led to a beautiful area?! Super worth it!

Joseph Le

Great view of Portland if the clouds aren't blocking it. Don't even try on a cloudy/rainy day

Mike Waleke

Great views , good tour ( you will learn different things depending on tour guide).

JessC ⚓

Hands down the best view of Portland . Worth the climb.

Scott Anstett

Check out the groundskeeper/gardener's house next to the mansion- I don't believe there is any admission charge for it.

Ashley Simmonds

Beautiful view . The hike up wildwood trail is great, and not difficult.

Zach Stockwell

Excellent outlook on the Portland metropolitan!

Anna Ross

Great for anyone. Local history. Gorgeous views all around!

Classic Portland history . Great spot to take in the views .

Ana Lidia Aguilera

I love this place!!!, it is excellent !!

Ryan Thompson

I went here, its an amazing place. Open as a museum . I hadn't been in 6 or 7 yrs & noticed things I hadn't before. Sean B. -- The entry charge $$ goes to help take care of the house. DUH.

Shelby Stokich

The view is amazing. I wish I could spend my mornings sipping coffee in the garden

Valentino Herrera

An amazing and often overlooked gem above Portland.

Alex Acosta

Great view of downtown PDX to the East and the Industrial area to the North.

James

So pretty any time of the year and if you live in Portland it really gives perspective on how close everything is.

Kristen Johnson

Such a gorgeous over look of Portland. Cool to see Mt. Hood also

Jessica Lange

Possibly the best view in all of Portland. Park near the Zoo and take the easy 3 mile hike (both ways) up the wildwood trail to get the full experience.

Ty Hildebrand

Incredible detail.. Awesome library !

Ryan Gardner

The lights and decorations at Christmas are breath taking

I'd go sometime other than Christmas
