You should take them to the Penn State Creamery.

Counter offer, Meyer's dairy is much closer to the boalsburg military museum and is (in many local's opinions) even better than the creamery.

I'll second this. I lived in State College for a while and Meyer's has good ice cream as well.

If you're staying for dinner you and the family could walk around downtown State College. It's two streets, Beaver and College and there are good local restaurants.

I don't know how up your family is on Penn State but it could be fun for the kids to take their picture with the Nittany Lion.

I'm not up on science on campus but I bet if you called a science department (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.) early enough ahead you could get a tour of some stuff. Check each department's website and see if there are any cool projects going on. Grad students would love to have someone to show off their research to.

Does Meyers make teaberry?

Good question...I think so?

While your on campus for the creamery, check out the frost entomological museum.

Creamery + arboretum visit makes the perfect campus day out.
