  I can't speak for its routine business, but the place hosts a Christmas event every year with night lights and local choirs singing in a beautifully-sounding church. As someone who got to sing there, it could be worth attending if you enjoy choral music in such a setting (religion and Christmas) although aside from music and lights there's not much for the teen crowd. There is an entrance fee and donations go to charity purposes.

  Free, beautiful, and peaceful. It was very easy to park as well. It was very serene to just sit there watching. Going here allows you to clear your mind, come to peace, and enjoy the beauty of the sanctuary. It's also free to enter, but donations are suggested. That is much preferred over forced entry. They keep it very clean and beautiful. Highly recommended to stop by if you're in town.

  This place was so Serene and beautiful. I like the naturistic walk through a forest with caves and religious statues. I'm not very religious, but walking through here definitely made me feel like I was walking on clouds. The upper level of The Grotto is a $6 fee or $35 for an annual pass. If I lived in the area I wouldn't mind coming here frequently just to get away from the hustle and bustle of life.

  What a beautiful and tranquil place! Came here during my trip to Portland and was totally taken back by the scenery. A good size of the ground is open to the public free of charge. However, to truly enjoy this place you have to pay $6 to visit the 26 acres garden, and it is definitely worth every penny! If you are stressed or just want to unwind after a long day or week, visit The Grotto, you won't regret it!

  The grotto is an interesting religious sanctuary for any religious or nonreligious folks who can go to for a peaceful walk to see the grounds beauty. There is a large parking lot offering free parking. Along the path walking to the decorated cave is lined with scripture and various religious statues. A favorite of mine was a small trickling waterfall which sounded very peaceful. To enter the grounds is free besides wanting to see vast views of the gorge and Colombia river is a small fee pay which you can ride the elevator to see this view. The decorated and candle lit cave is a beautiful view and very peaceful.
