The mansion is lovely with a very interesting history and great antiques inside. The volunteers are knowledgeable and provided lots of insight as to the contents of the home and history of the family, really enriching the experience. This is one to definitely read the plaques as they hold lots of information. We ended up spending almost 2.5 hours here,... More

A great place to visit any time of year. At Christmas, there is always a special display with a theme. For example, Christmas around the World with different countries in each room. Other times there are special displays such as antique beaded bags. And the gift shop has lots of wonderful items including beautiful jewelry.

Pittock Mansion is open all year, but if you want to see this lovely house beautifully decorated wait until Christmas! It's surrounded by lovely walking trails and beautiful views, so plan to stay for a couple of hours to enjoy the area around it.

The house is gorgeous and the views of the city are fantastic. The grounds around the house are beautiful and peaceful to relax in. if you enjoy history and old houses this is a great place to visit. There were a few families with children, but unless your children are especially interested in gardens or homes this probably isn't the... More

Spectacular views of Portland. A lot of interesting history about how this family lived 100+ years ago. The grounds were beautiful.

An absolute must. Breath-taking views of the Cascade Mountains and Mount Hood and Mount St Helen's in particular. An extraordinary home which is a combination of English country house and French chateau, built by an extraordinary couple. It has been beautifully preserved by the City of Portland. There was an informative tour with a docent but self-guiding is possible. There... More

Excellent location for prime Portland photo opportunities. Tends to be very busy so most pics will have unintentional photobombers

The Pittock Mansion is a wonderful presentation of life in early Portland. The architecture is beautiful, the views spectacular. It is easy to daydream about what it would have been like to live here.

Photography is what brought me to Portland and the view and surrounding opportunities for photography were great! I would return.

We went on a lovely spring day with a small group of varying ages (everyone enjoyed it). The flowers were just starting to bloom. It is a very beautiful property, really lovely views of Portland. We went to tour the mansion, but were late for the last tour. As we were looking around, several others entered and they decided to... More
