A short drive from down, a quick hike up Mt. Nittany will yield amazing view of Happy Valley.
A beautiful place no matter what the time of year. The Penn State Arboretum is a great place to stroll through and check out some nature. Also ideally located a short walk from the iconic Penn State Creamery.
A delicious local craft brewery with just as delicious bites. Voted Best Beer in State College for 12 years running! Try our personal fav local brews, The Mount Nittany Pale Ale and the Apricot Wheat.
Downtown State College is home to many historic gems. Lots of local shopping, places to have a meal, get a drink, or have a cup of coffee. A completely walkable area very close to campus gives you plenty of options of things to do.
Explore more nature in State College at the Millbrook Marsh Nature Center. Great for adults and children, all can wander around the observation decks and enjoy a large array of wildlife.
Our absolute FAVORITE place in town for ice cream. (Better than the Penn State Creamery!!) Delicious flavors of ice cream, great sundaes, and even better milk shakes.
