The planetarium is on the University of Southern Maine, Portland Campus in the Science Building, about 0.5 miles from Exit 6 of I-295. Enter at 70 Falmouth Street between Forest Ave and Deering Ave. Upon entering veer right around the column that says Planetarium and down the staircase with the large pink space cloud (the Orion Nebula!) and purple lights.
Parking for the planetarium is street parking. On the south side of the street, parking is metered by the city. Visitors can use cash or cards at a nearby kiosk, or the Passport App on the phone to pay. On the north side of the street is neighborhood parking that is unmetered. We encourage visitors to attend to all signs when choosing a place to park.
