Maynard F Jordan Planetarium and Observatory

The Jordan Planetarium opens a window on planets, stars and the universe, bringing the cosmos to life in the twenty foot dome theater. The Jordan Observatory is Maine's only public observatory, and is open for sky watchers of all ages to explore the wonders of the Maine sky.

Public shows vary regularly and cover a huge array of related topics from Hubble presentations to tours of the solar system, via a few curveballs like Mayan prophecies.

Kids' specials include things like The Little Star That Could and Our Sky Family, suitable for 5 and 4 to 8 years respectively.
