Group Tours
Joining a guided tour of Lan Su Chinese Garden offers you the opportunity to dig beneath the surface and discover the hidden meanings and significance of what you see.
Public Tours
Guided tours are offered daily at no additional cost with trained volunteer guides. Tours last approximately 45 minutes and visitors are welcome to join in or drop out at any time and no reservations are required to join.
Special Tours
Groups of 15 or more can arrange to have a private tour of the Garden with a trained volunteer guide at the reduced rate of $6 per person (a savings of $2.50 per person). In order to provide a guide and be able to offer the discount, reservations are required and we ask for at least two weeks advance notice of your visit. Reserving early will also ensure your visit on the day and time of your choosing. Tours can be tailored to specific groups so please let us know if your group has any special interests or limitations.
To book a tour for your group, please call Katie Hill, the Garden’s Volunteer & Group Tour Manager at 503.228.8131 ext. 1001 or .
