For my daughters birthday we booked 2 rooms, king tut and escape, my wife called and they handled the booking on their end which made everything go really well. Our group did King Tut and I must say I have done a lot of escape rooms and this was my favorite. It had a feeling of an actual expedition and tomb exploration.. 90 minutes of fun and would definitely recommend it.

See the renovations a few years ago, this is always a great place to watch a game. There is plenty or room in the concourse, plenty of new restrooms, several family restrooms, good food selection, and a nice beer selection. It’s always a nice place to spend a cold winter day/night.

Yes, the Art Museum of WVU is small, but Morgantown is fortunate to have this little gem and it is worthy of a visit. And it's free! Local family members tell us that exhibits rotate regularly so repeat visits will always present something different for the art lover. We enjoyed our visit here and would visit again while in the area. Recommended!
6. Morgantown History Museum

The museum is just off the downtown main street going toward the river. It is not large, but it has a lot of memorabilia and is free. It was a quiet afternoon when we stopped by and the person managing the museum at the time talked to us about some of the displays. Of course, there was a lot about Don Knotts, but the part about the Pietro family and their part in the early infrastructure of the town was quite interesting. Many of the old brick streets he built are still there today. His legacy seems to be only in the history books at this point, but the museum does a great job of telling his story.
