The Tallest Bridge Observatory in the World!
We’ll enjoy lunch on your own at Angler’s Restaurant in Searsport before heading to the park. Taller than the Statue of Liberty, the Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory is the crown jewel of coastal Maine. Offering spectacular 360-degree views of the Penobscot River and Bay, the Maine countryside and the distant western mountains. Tourists and travel writers alike have been attracted to the unique character of this structure, its historical significance and the stunning vistas. Engineering and transportation geeks are fascinated by the award-winning and innovative design. Visitors will enjoy this unique campus that includes the observatory, Historic Fort Knox and a diversity of interpretive panels explaining history of the region. This trip requires an elevator ride to the top of the Observatory as well as independent walking through the park at your own pace. Benches and picnic tables are also available for less walking. This trip is co-sponsored with local recreation departments. (Max of 8 per community).
