    A most beautiful walk in nature in the city of Bangor. A trail in and around a bog on a board walk which board explenations on the pass. Take the walk in the late afternoon.

    If you are a transportation, this Museum is a Must see. Excellent variety, especially the train across the back of the building.

    A fantastic cemetery. A number of Stephen King connections, it was used in Pet cemetery, and the “Carrie” gravestone, meant to be the inspiration for the film. Al Brad, one of the FBI’s first Public enemy No 1’s is buried there, as is Hannibal Hamblin a former VP

    The Paul Bunyan Statue was the last of our Stephen King road trip. The statue was featured in "IT 2" where it came to life. I've seen a handful of Paul Bunyan statues around the country, including Oregon and Michigan and this one is as fun as the rest, but has the creep factor of being in a horror movie.

    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!

    The forest walk was perfect. Lots of trails with maps at every juncture. I passed moms with kids, solo runners, other walkers and hikers. Everyone in Maine is so friendly. BRING YOUR OWN WATER for sure.

    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.

    The casino didn’t let us play much, but we still had a good time. We ate at the restaurant. We had awesome salads. The staff was great.

    This is a lovely walk along the Mighty Penobscot River. If you have the time, you'll be amply rewarded with the richness of the river life.

    My wife and I enjoyed this park. We were disappointed by Bangor downtown (on a Sunday morning) so gave up and went to Cascade Park. We had a picnic lunch at one of the tables provided. The fountain was working and the grounds were in good shape. Clean and quiet. Too bad it is rather small. Trees were healthy and provided much appreciated shade in the heat.
