    I’ve visited Bangor several times before but didn’t know about this museum until I saw it on Trip Advisor. It has so many interesting things from the past. I especially enjoyed the train and watched the movie on how they built the museum around the train. Very cool. Be sure to give yourself at least 2 hours on your visit. There is so much to see.

    Easy trail with a variety of plants as you travel from the forest into the bog area. Nice information signs and benches to rest. Very interesting. We would return again when in Maine.

    This was a stop that l surprised my daughter with. We were headed to the Stephen and Tabatha King house in Bangor before we drove down to Bar Harbor so l looked for other things to see in Bangor. The cemetery was beautiful and had a lot of history. There was even a tie in to Stephen King with a Carrie gravestone. As the cemetery was large we were able to get quite a nice walk in.

    There were a lot of very cool exhibits for the kids. They had some exhibits on the natural ecosystem in Maine, as well as anatomy, doctor, vet and dinosaur exhibits. Definitely kept the kids busy for the day.

    I have been to Bangor many times before, but had never been here until this year. Through a quick google search on upcoming events around town, I learned about this place. They were showing 9 to 5 the Musical. I love musical theatre and was super excited to see this performance. The theatre was very nice and comfortable. The sound was good and the actors were great. There was a small bar set up with things for sale if desired. I didn't buy anything. They had programs for guests and the bathroom downstairs was nice. There was a couch in it and they had another bathroom upstairs. Anyone could use either washroom which was nice to help keep the lines shorter. The price was reasonable and I look forward to attending another performance on the next visit!

    This walk was added to our day when we found it on Tripadvisor. It was not crowded. The river views were great. It was clean. We walked the full length and back and enjoyed it. Would also be great for kids. Several people were walking dogs, but all were well-behaved.

    Always enjoy staying at Hollywood Casino in Bangor. A touch of Las Vegas for those who love gaming without the frustration and high expense of travelling West. Beautifully laid out with the latest in high end slots along with the older all time favourites. Lots of lower denomination penny machines. Plenty of high end table games. Very clean no smoking gaming room with plenty of space. Hotel is first rate with courteous and friendly staff that areal ways happy to greet you on your check in. Hotel is very handy to concert venues, which occur frequently throughout the year.
