Guest Drop-Off Zones

Curbside drop-off zones are available in front of each building for easy access. Halls A and E also feature drop-off zones outside the Expo Center parking lot. 
 

Service Animals 

We welcome guests with disabilities and their service animals, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Oregon’s disability laws. Pets are not allowed at the Expo Center. 

Definition of a Service Animal:

As defined by the ADA, service animals are dogs or miniature horses trained to perform tasks for people with disabilities. Tasks may include guiding the blind, alerting the deaf, pulling wheelchairs, alerting to seizures, reminding about medication or calming anxiety attacks. Service animals are not pets. 

Emotional support, therapy or comfort animals are not considered service animals and will not be admitted. 

Admission Procedure:

If it is not obvious that the animal is a trained service animal, staff will ask if the animal is trained for a disability. The service animal must be leashed, harnessed or tethered and under control. Uncontrolled, aggressive, or unhousebroken animals will not be admitted or may be asked to leave. 

Thank you for helping us ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone at the Portland Expo Center. If you have further questions, please reach out to us. 
 

Disability Discrimination Complaints: If you believe you have been discriminated against due to a disability, you have the right to file a complaint with Metro
