Welcome to the Punxsutawney Weather Discovery Center
Come immerse yourself in the science of weather and the folklore surrounding it!
HOURS are 10-4 PM Daily, closed Sunday. We are closed on Labor Day.
The Weather Discovery Center has something for everyone...beautiful historic architecture, wildly interactive exhibits and more folklore and science than anywhere else in the world! It’s where kids and adults will both pass through the door of a 12-foot tall tree stump and into Phil’s famous burrow, completely immersing themselves in groundhog culture and science.
Once inside Phil’s burrow, visitors will find a fanciful landscape filled with weather lore stories, exhibits and demonstrations. Throughout the building, children are encouraged to look closely at nature to uncover weather clues and "hidden" interactives. (Why are those frogs peeping?)
In another part of the Gallery, visitors can play the role of TV meteorologists on the Green-Screen Forecast Station. Just like a local weatherman, visitors will be able to watch themselves on camera as they present a weather forecast.
The newest exhibit is the "Perfect Storm", and it’s positively electrifying! Also, don’t miss the Meteorologist Hall of Fame located in the Lobby!
The Punxsutawney Weather Discovery Center is unlike any place you have seen. All that has been described and more is waiting for you as growth in our Phase II exhibits continues. Come see our newly updated Center and have fun while you learn about the magical mystery of Punxsutawney Phil and the wonders of weather!
