The Brelsford WSU Visitor Center serves as the gateway to Washington State University, functioning as an information center for the University and a resource for the campus community, featuring WSU’s teaching, research, athletics, student and faculty contributions in a unique visual setting.
The Museum of Anthropology at Washington State University rehabilitates and curates archaeological and ethnographic collections. The Museum is an official repository for archaeological collections generated by the work of Federal, State, and County agencies in Eastern Washington. The Museum also houses a collection of objects representative of the culture of Native American tribes in the Inland Northwest since contact with Europeans.
One common sight is the Grizzly Bear research facility on Airport road. The bears usually come out of hibernation around March, and you can see them in their outdoor facility.
Home of the Cougs basketball team and a convention center for other events.
The Conner Museum contains the largest collections of taxidermied birds and mammals in the Pacific Northwest. They have a large selection of animals on view, ranging from shrews to bison.

Bill Chipman Palouse Trail

Saturday includes contests, The Lentil Cook-Off, many art and business vendors, a grand parade, breakfast lentil pancake feed, the Tase T. Lentil 5K Fun Run/Walk, beer garden, food court featuring lentil dishes, a large kids area and many other family activities.
A great place to stop for a bite to eat in a university themed restaurant. Make an elaborate drawing on their blank placemats and you might just make it to their wall of fame!
The Old European Restaurant
Known for the best breakfast in the area. Family owned and operated and it shows! Can't get Danish Aebelskivers, Potato Pancakes or Dutch Babies anywhere else.
Home to Cougar Gold Cheese and some delicious ice cream that is made from beginning to end on campus. Check the hours in advance, they close early.
A local favorite and often-joke ("Let's meet at My Office"), it features cheap beer and food.
Live jazz on weekends, a slightly pricier bar with a real British pub style.
An excellent 1980s themed night on Saturdays, but always cramped and usually pretty stuffy (go there to dance only!)
Greek hangout, lots of interesting "quotes" scribbled all over the place. Good luck finding toilet paper or soap in the bathroom
The hotel also serves as a bus stop for Northwestern Trailways
Pool, breakfast, airport shuttle, and convenience store with WSU merchandise.
A place for the community to buy high quality grown food & products from local farmers during the middle of the week. The farmer's market is sponsored by the Pullman Chambers of Commerce.

Since there is not much to the downtown area, transportation is a must. Public transportation is available from Pullman Transit, though it is often geared towards the university.
