Collins Center for the Arts in Orono, Maine is a moderately-sized performing arts center situated within the University of Maine campus. The center is the premier venue for plays, concerts & film showing. One of its features is a 1,435-seater concert hall that serves as a multi-use space while a lounge located on the third floor is a perfect location for smaller events. A museum that showcases the cultures of the world is also inside the center, and so is a cafe.

Only a 6-minute walk from the University of Maine is the University Inn Academic Suites, a casual family-run hotel with classic rooms and suites while the Black Bear Inn and Conference Center is 1.5 miles from Umaine, set amidst a tree-lined area. Off Interstate 95 is the modern Hampton Inn Bangor ensconced in the business district. Orono’s close proximity to Bangor means that visitors can easily access the many attractions in that city like the Bangor Museum and Center for History, which offers guided and walking tours designed to encourage visitors to learn more about the Bangor Region and its people. The Cole Land Transportation Museum is another wealthy depository of history with its exhibits containing land transportation vehicles used in Maine as well as U.S. military memorabilia. Outdoor activities are plentiful too, like day and night skiing, snowboarding, snow, and mountain sledding at Hermon Mountain located just outside of Bangor. Neighboring places such as Milford and Veazie are also popular getaways among visitors.
