Observatory Lantern Tours

Join Greater Portland Landmarks and Portland Observatory for a one of a kind experience! Step back in time for a lantern-lit guided tour to the top of the Portland Observatory. Along the way, you and your group will stop on two floors to enjoy a brief holiday story. At the top, you’ll have time to view the best of Portland’s neighborhood and city lights, a rare view few get to experience in the evening!
