We visited in Dec 2010. Each room was festively decorated. It was fun to get a glimpse into a bygone era. (Our kids - 23 to 34) were not as impressed.) It has good wheelchair accessibility with an elevator.; you do have to have a staff member take you from floor to floor. More

My husband and I visited Pittock Mansion in May. We really like this type of tourist attraction and can tell that the volunteers and curators really take pride in preserving the Pittock legacy. We had a wonderful informal tour from "Sallie" who was so knowledgable and friendly. The mansion occasionally offers "behind the scenes tours" which we would gladly take... More

Beautiful old Mansion. Try to go on a sunny day as the views are tremendous! Was plenty of parking when I was there and parking was close to the mansion. More

One of the nicest restored mansions that we've visited. Beautiful landscaping. A short drive from downtown Portland. Free parking. Not very crowded. More

Well-managed and maintained. A wonderful piece of Portland's history. The grounds are nicely landscaped and the tour inside is well worth the time spent. More

I do enjoy going through old houses and this is definitely the one to go to in the Portland area. I'm so glad Portland saved this one. It came close to being demolished. After driving to the top of the hill (seems like a chore, but worth it), you can either start at the gift shop, stroll the grounds, or... More

Pittock Mansion is literally steps outside of the hustle and bustle of downtown Portland. This mid-sized city is surrounded by an oasis of forestry, with Pittock Mansion at the helm. Situated right above the city, the views are amazing (and free!), provided it's a clear day. Admission to the exterior and parking are free and inside tours are reasonable at... More

It was fun seeing how people actually lived earlier and actually saw the prices they had to pay. I told the children that they must remember that even tho electric was only 23 cents the wages were also low like $50 to $60 per month. We plan to go there again this summer. More
