Things to See and Do While Visiting State College

Penn State Mascot

One of our favorite places to visit in northern Pennsylvania happens to be State College. Even though it is a college town, it has a lot of fun things to see and do while visiting.

Here is our list of some of our favorites:

* Mount Nittany Vineyard & Winery - is located right outside of downtown State College in Centre Hall. This winery offers wine tasting, shopping and seasonal wine events.

* Penn State All-Sports Museum - is located at Beaver Stadium and is a museum that honors the legends from all Penn State Sports.

Penn's Cave

* Penn's Cave and Wildlife Park - is located right outside of downtown State College in Centre Hall. Take a guided tour by boat of the cave and then tour the wildlife park.

* Bryce Jordan Center - is located in the downtown district and offers various sporting events and musical concerts.

Pennyslvania Military Museum in Boalsburg

* Center for Performing Arts at Penn State - offers great musical shoes, plays and dance performances year round.

* Pennyslvania Military Museum - is located right outside of State College in Boalsburg. You can learn about men and women who served our country including all branches of service.

Pegula Ice Arena

* Pegula Ice Arena - is home to the Penn State hockey team and figure skating club. The arena hosts a variety of ice events and does hold open-to-the-public skating events.

* Happy Valley Mini Golf - take in a round of miniature golf at this 18-hole mini golf course that is beautifully landscaped and near the shopping district.

* Millbrook Marsh Nature Center - if you love being outdoors and in nature, this nature center is a must-see! The boardwalk and grounds are open daily from dawn to dusk.

* Penn State Football Game - If you enjoy college football (like we do!) you can take in a Penn State game when they're playing at home in Beaver Stadium. "We Are Penn State". Home games are typically sold-out, so you'll need to plan ahead if you want to attend a game.

* Shaver's Creek Environmental Center - is Penn State's official environmental nature center that offers bird walks and various other nature programs throughout the year.
