Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

If you go to Portland, this should be on your list. This was my favorite thing we did in the city - so interesting, run well, free parking, and great views. Very knowledgeable and nice docents. Peg was THE BEST!

Don't be daunted by the idea of climbing stairs: the guided tour takes 30 minutes to reach the top. You stop on multiple floors for approximately 5 minutes each to look at exhibits--maps, artifacts--and hear what your guide has to say. On each floor, you can sit on a chair if you want. Every floor has windows. Then up one more flight. Great view from the top. You come down on your own. It's an interesting, worthwhile tour. You find out a lot about the history of Portland.

I’m so glad we stopped here! Volunteers take you up to the top and provide a fun tour with lots of information about the observatory. Lots of steps, but you can rest on each level if you need to. Restrooms right next door at the fire department. This is a place to learn something you probably didn’t know before! Go see it!

This place is a lot neater than expected. The history of the tower and its uses, as well as the person who started it is very interesting. On a hot day, it was still cool inside with a breeze blowing through the windows. We missed the guided tour and went in the 5 PM hour self-guided. I’m sure the guided is interesting, but we found the self-guided to be perfectly fine.

Be sure that you stop here for a tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and this place had such an interesting history. The views at the top are phenomenal and it is a nice spot to sit for a few minutes. Great afternoon.

We really enjoyed getting to go up into the observatory and look out over Portland, Maine. The volunteers that man the tower are all exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful (they even gave us great advice for other attractions and the best restaurants). There were 4 senior citizens in our group and they were all able to climb the 100 steps up into the tower. What really helps is that on each level (about 30 stairs) there is a rest station and historical posters.

We did the guided tour. Knowledgeable docent. The view from the top was very nice. I am not sure what it would be like if the weather had not been so clear ... so I would consider the weather before heading up there.
Walking around the neighborhood was also interesting as this is a little bit further away from the main Portland attractions.

This is a different and historic way to get a 360 degree view of Portland.
Make sure to take the guided visit so you get all the history.

Absolutely the best lighthouse tour we took in Maine!! Too bad someone stole the Fresnel lens. The views are spectacular but Barbara, our guide, said she loved giving tours on foggy days the best. Barbara is an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. However she tried to tell us the stairs to the ballast had been removed but Peg let us go down to see the ballast. We laughed more on this stop than any other stop in Portland!
Full disclosure- we know this isn’t a lighthouse! It’s a navigational aid. It never had a light. There are no stairs to the see the ballast. We wrote this review just for Barbara and Peg who are wonderful.

Great view when you finally get to the top. Plenty of historical information if you're into that. A little pricey for what it is. A "family" is two adults and three children. If you bring grandpa, he's not family, and will be charged the senior rate.

Does the street parking near the observatory have a time limit?
Skrevet 26. juli 2017
Yes, the street parking does have a time limit. I can't remember if it was a 2 or 3 hour time limit, but you can probably do the entire Portland Observatory tour (even the one with the tour guide) in about an hour.

Where fo you suggest we park when visiting the observatory? Thank you
Skrevet 24. mai 2017
If I recall correctly, there is quite good street parking near the Observatory. Note: the Observatory is in a residential area, not downtown. You should find a good spot after a short hunt.
Skrevet 24. mai 2017
Can you still view the Observatory outside during November?
Skrevet 26. oktober 2016
Yes, you can see it from outside for sure, there are just no tours. You might even be able to go inside alone, w/out a tour. See if you can call someone associated w/the restoration of the building perhaps? But it's nice to just walk over to it and look at it, then visit the nearby graveyard (don't miss the two sea captains' graves - they died fighting each other) and have a lunch or snack at 3 Buoys just down the street!

Two friends and I plan a Sept 23rd visit. What times will there be guided tours?
Skrevet 20. august 2016
It seems to be pretty random. If enough people collect and there's a volunteer around to give the tour, the tour will take place. It's well worth it.
