This place is temporarily closed. The highest point of land on Cape Cod, the view from this stone observation tower sweeps across Cape Cod Bay to Provincetown.

Nice and clean, well maintained and kid friendly! Bring a good camera and a bunch of lenses. The ponds and oceans are just breathtaking.

THE PORTLAND OBSERVATORY IS CLOSED FOR THE 2019 SEASON. SEE YOU IN SPRING 2020! Breathtaking views and fascinating history at America’s last standing maritime signal tower. In the 1800s, Captain Moody used this observatory to monitor the routes of ships as far as 30 miles away. Today visitors can tour a museum focusing on the history of the watch tower and get a stunning bird's-eye view of Portland and the harbor.

We arrived at the Observatory after a long day of touring Portland. As it turned out, we saved the best for last! The structure sits atop Munjoy Hill, with a commanding view of the city and its harbor. It has an interesting history and interesting architectural features, all of which we learned about as we slowly wound our way to the top of the tower, led by Sue, our exceptional and engaging guide. Sue brought the details of the observatory to life with her wonderful gift of storytelling. Without Sue it would have been a pleasant but not exciting visit. With her, it was delightful and memorable!

The Tallest Bridge Observatory in the World (open to the public)! The Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory is located in the heart of mid-coast Maine. The bridge spans the Penobscot River, linking the town of Prospect with Verona Island, just off Route 1 across from the town of Bucksport. Visitors can take the elevator 420 feet for breathtaking panoramic views of the nearby Maine coast and Fort Knox Historic Site.

We went to the top of the Observatory at the Penobscot Narrows Observatory after visiting Fort Knox and it was beautiful. From the top you can almost see forever. The elevator is very quick and they have good signs on the different things you can see in all directions. If you are afraid or uncomfortable in high places, this is not the thing for you to do. At the top of the Observatory, all 4 sides are glass.

What a perfect place to go hiking! If you'd like to drive up, the views are incredible and there's plenty of parking closely to the castle. The views are beautiful. When we visited, there was an Italian ice vendor, so there are definitely treats to be had. Definitely climb to the top of the castle (it's not that many steps). Dogs are allowed to climb the castle too! I've lived in CT forever and only visited for the first time this year. It's definitely a sweet spot and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, outdoor activity.

This striking I.M. Pei edifice, famous for its beauty and infamous for falling glass panes, is Boston's tallest building. After terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the popular 60th-floor observatory was permanently closed due to security concerns.
