Penn State All-Sports Museum — Attraction in College Township

You might think it campy to visit a schools all sports museum in their massive stadium, but this is well worth the visit. No charge, includes a view of the stadium, and a walk through of indoor and outdoor sports history, championships, olympians, and more. Penn State has amazing sports history. But most important are the amazing, friendly, helpful wonderful staff and volunteers who have a passion for the school and area, and are happy to share it. They went above and beyond for us, once they learned they were the first stop on an intended self guided tour of campus for our son.

Bob took it beyond my expectations though, and was the most gracious host. My son hasn't stopped talking about his visit to Beaver Stadium and the football tour. He is an even bigger PSU fan now, and I didn't think that was possible!

Thank you to Bob and the remarkable staff at the museum. This meant so much to me to bring my son to my alma mater and show him all of the history behind the great athletic side of the university. You truly made the trip for my son and myself one that we will not...

What a great, friendly visit! Liz met us and went over and above in the super useful information on State College area! Bill, a volunteer is so generous with his time and knowledgeable, bringing the history and stories to life. The museum is really well designed, a clear and accessible overview of the birth and growth of Penn State varsity sports including stories of individual sportsmen and women. Really interesting display with inspiring stories of Penn Staters in WW2. Thanks so much for a...
