Great views of Portland, and if you're lucky you'll see as far as Mount Washington, NH. Take a guided tour up the observatory's 7 stories. We thoroughly enjoyed our guide, Brian, who told us the history of the observatory and the town and pointed out many landmarks once at the top.

The tower is beautiful and well maintained, the views are probably great and the staff is knowledgeable. Yet the prices are too high, even with the offer of $30 per family, that's not reasonable for a short visit of 10-15 minutes. There's only one person working there, no movie and no elevator. I think they should let visitors walk up freely, and donate as much as they want and can. That way parents wouldn't have to wait downstairs and only let their kids go up and enjoy the view. Such places of civic importance and educational value should be open to the public and affordable.

A must do, eapecially if the weather is nice and the sky is clear. Let them know if you got a AAA membership, you will get a discount.

Went here to view the scenic scenery of Oregon. I turns out I was on the other side of the country.
