A solid US style Mexican offering. Always busy - but great service makes it a good experience anyway. Spinach and Chicken enchiladas are my fave - and there are a lot of vegetarian offerings.

Bars

One of my favorite places to chill. Outdoor seating in the shade of the hillside, excellent choice of their own ciders, indoor vibe is laid back and friendly. No menu - but they have cheese, crackers and some charcuterie for sale onsite.

Lời khuyên du lịch trong thành phố

Cách đi lại

You'll need a car.

From our house you can walk to downtown State College, main campus, and the stadium/BJC. Chances are you'll need a car to get around beyond that.
Đặt trước khi bạn thoát

Restaurants on high traffic weekends

If you're coming to town for graduation, a holiday, or a home game - I recommend making restaurant reservations before you get here. On those occasions, there are more people who want a meal than there are fine dining opportunities in the area!
Đừng bỏ lỡ

Arboretum

A one mile walk from our house, the Arboretum is a lovely, low key activity for adults and children alike.

Kid friendly town

There are a lot of options for families here - from the Arboretum to The Discovery Space, to a plethora of parks with play structures and biking paths and trails. Not to mention the Berkey Creamery on campus!
