Portland Observatory Lantern Tours

Portland Observatory Lantern Tours

Step back in time this holiday season with Portland Observatory's enchanting Lantern Tours, a beloved tradition returning for another magical year. Experience the Observatory as few ever do—illuminated by lantern light in the quiet of evening. Your guided journey to the top includes stops on two floors where holiday stories bring warmth and wonder to this historic maritime landmark. At the summit, you'll discover Portland transformed: neighborhood lights twinkling below, the city aglow against the winter sky, a rare and breathtaking perspective reserved for this special season.

Each intimate 25-minute tour offers plenty of time to savor the view and the moment. Greater Portland Landmarks invites you to discover what makes these evening ascents truly one of a kind—where history, storytelling, and the spirit of the holidays converge in an unforgettable experience atop Portland's iconic Observatory.

Each tour time is capped at 10 people and pre-booking is required. Get your ticket before they sell out!
