Get a Cultural Pass from the Library! I linked the Beaverton library, but all libraries around here have cultural passes. I believe the amount of people admitted for free depends on the specific pass. Reserve your pass in advance for best luck, then check out your pass the morning of your adventure and return at the circulation desk or the drop off box when you are done with it. Must be returned the same day. Passes are available from the Beaverton Library for : A.C. Gilbert’s Discovery Village, Chinese Classical Garden, Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum, The Japanese Garden, The Oregon Garden, Pittock Mansion, Rice NW Museum of Rocks & Minerals, Washington County Museum
