Many groups like to visit additional areas or points of interest after their Penn State University Park group visit. Groups that are looking to maximize their time on campus and in State College will find these resources helpful in planning to explore the local area.
Penn State has a large campus, and although your walking tour will cover most of the main points, many groups like to visit additional areas or points of interest after their tour. Your parking is good throughout the day of your visit, so feel free to explore campus after your scheduled visit. If you have additional parking questions, such as where to park off-campus, please contact our office prior to your visit, or ask upon arrival at the Shields Building. If there is something your group wishes to visit, please be sure to ask your tour guide for directions at the conclusion of the tour and they will be able to provide directions for you.
