The Portland Japanese Garden is the latest Oregon attraction to offer free admission to federal employees on furlough during the partial government shutdown.

The Oregon Zoo announced last week that it admit furloughed federal workers free as well.

The Japanese Garden’s offer extends to up to four people in a household and will continue through the shutdown, a news release from the garden said. Federal contractors who are affected by the shutdown may also jump on the offer.

“We hope a visit to Portland Japanese Garden will ease stress and offer a little serenity in nature for families during this hardship,” said Cynthia Johnson Haruyama, Deputy Director for Portland Japanese Garden.

Furloughed employees must show their badge or federal identification.

On Monday, the High Desert Museum in Bend announced that it would also give free admission to furloughed employees (with ID) and their families during the shutdown.
