No tickets needed. IMO it's fun to visit any time of the year. Layer for cold wet weather, but it can get warmer if the sun comes out. Depending on which trail you take it can get muddy, so wear appropriate shoes. You can take the Blue Line light rail from Hillsboro to the Zoo Station, then walk up the hill from the parking lot and get on The Wildwood Trail that will take you into the Arboretum, you can branch out from there. Having a trail map would be a good idea. TripAdivsor won't let me post a link so you'll need to the to the arboretum web site and download one. You should be decent physical condition as you'll be climbing some steep hills.
