Consider Pullman if you’re looking for a sunny destination in Washington state.
Pullman is in the Palouse – 4000 square miles of rolling hills, a geological formation created by volcanic activity back in the day. It’s surrounded by farmland – wheat, barley, peas, and lentils as far as the eye can see.
Its location gives Pullman proper a small-town feel. Yet, because it’s the home of a major university, you’ll find ample cultural, recreational, and sightseeing opportunities.

Why visit Pullman?
Many people land in Pullman when they visit the college, begin college, or drop their kids off at college!
There are also the WSU parent/family weekends each year.
Eastern Washington may not be on top destination lists, but it has appeal. The dry, sunny climate, gorgeous landscape, and long list of things to do attract plenty of visitors. Pullman will make a great home base for your explorations around Eastern Washington.
When is the best time to visit Pullman?
Spring
In spring, Eastern Washington is green.
The spring season brings photographers from far and wide to make images of the flowering fields of crops.
WSU students start summer vacation in mid-May – so the campus (and town) empties.
If you’re a fan of gardens, now is the time to come. Lawson Gardens, for one, will be in full spring glory.
Average highs – 64
Summer
Summer is the season for warm weather lovers. Although the average temperature is 82, it’s often much warmer.
Most students have gone home for the summer, leaving the town and surrounding area for the locals. Keep in mind that WSU is a semester school; the “Fall” semester begins in mid-August.
Average highs – 82
Fall
Harvest is in full swing by August, continuing into fall. All over the countryside, combines cut the wheat.
WSU is back in session in mid-August, filling up the town with students and faculty. This also means WSU’s Cougar PAC-12 sports are underway.
Besides sports, wheat, and a bursting college campus – fall in Pullman is the perfect time to watch nature turn colors and pick some fruit at the area’s orchards.
Average highs – 64
Winter
Snow usually falls between late November and February, making local hiking trails into cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails.
Birders come in winter to see the hawks, osprey, owls, and other raptors, which become easier to spot after the leaves fall.
College is in full swing, so entertainment, cultural events, and sports abound.
Average highs – 41
First stop
Brelsford Visitors Center
Make a b-line for the visitor’s center. The staff will be up-to-date on all campus museums, entertainment, and sports. And if they don’t know, they’ll help you find out.
Brelsford VC focuses on WSU happenings, but they know the area and can point you in the right direction regarding off-campus attractions, restaurants, and outdoor recreation. In my experience, the staff is friendly and will go out of their way to help you.
A few interesting exhibits in the space highlight WSU’s history, research, and teaching. I loved the display of local wines.
8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday – Friday (hours will vary depending on the season and school calendar)
Pullman Chamber of Commerce
For general information about the area, stop by the Chamber. You’ll also find local products and books on sale.
Open 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday – Friday
What is there to do in Pullman?
Washington State University
Pullman is home to the Washington State University campus.
Open hours at all campus attractions depend on the season and school calendar. If you want to see something, check ahead of time to confirm it will be open to the public.
Walk the campus
The Pullman campus is beautiful. Over 1700 acres will give you plenty of room to stretch your legs after the long drive to Eastern Washington.
It’s worth a stroll to discover the public art, green spaces, and historic buildings around campus.
If you feel comfortable, take a campus walk after dark – especially around the central square. The campus is well-lit, giving a night walk another dimension.
Complete information on parking, accessibility, and campus maps.
WSU Welcome Center for Future Students
Catch a campus tour – you don’t have to be a prospective student. Usually, tours are run by student docents. Not only are they informative, entertaining, and forthcoming about campus life, they’re true masters of backward walking – and proud of it!
Tours are available Monday – Friday.
Cougar Pride Statue
One popular photo stop on campus is the bronze cougar statue.
At 15.5 feet long, the statue represents school pride – but it makes an excellent place for a snapshot no matter your alma mater.
The statue is located on Stadium Way, at the Martin Stadium Plaza. Before each home game, fans gather at the statue with the team and walk to the field.
Here’s the cougar’s backstory.
WSU Bear Center
Yes, real bears. The Bear Center is WSU’s research project on grizzly bear hibernation.
A fenced enclosure with a small parking area allows visitors to get up close and personal to the bears anytime they’re awake and active.
The bears will probably be out in their enclosure from April to October, playing and lounging.
The day we stopped by, 4 bears took advantage of the beautiful spring evening. I think early evening close to sunset is a great time to see them in action.
The bears live at Grimes Way and Terre View Dr., and you can have all the looks (and photos) you want for free.
Compton Union Building (CUB) and The Bookie
WSU student center is home to the university bookstore – a good place to find Crimson merch.
You can also buy a cup of coffee, pick up lunch at the food court, play a game, and possibly hear live music or catch a movie at the SEB.
When our kids were young – about middle school age – we tried to stop at college campuses on our travels. No pressure, just to build awareness and create a mental image of what college is all about. Visiting a student union for lunch is a great way to do this. I think our son’s primary life goal from age 12-16 was getting his hands on a dining hall food card.
Student Recreation Center
Get a day pass, use the weight room, play basketball, volleyball, badminton, or run around the indoor track.
You might want to go for a swim in the lap pool or use the climbing wall.
Museums
There are many museum-like attractions on campus. They have limited hours depending on building access. So plan ahead.
Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art
Prime on the list is the art museum.
The building is gorgeous – like a mirrored, crimson cube (get it?)
The primary collection revolves around contemporary art, Pacific Northwest artists, and WSU faculty and student art.
You can find it on Wilson Road across from Martin Stadium in the Fine Arts Center – since it’s big, red, and reflective, it’ll be hard to miss.
Open Tuesday through Friday from 1:00–4:00 p.m. and Saturday from 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
Cost: Free
Charles R. Conner Museum of Natural History
The Conner is a massive collection of taxidermy mammals and birds – around 700.
Maybe this sounds like a sleeper (pun intended), but it’s pretty interesting. The Conner has large game animals on display – deer, antelope, mountain sheep and goat, moose, caribou, and cougar.
The Conner Museum is located on the first floor of Abelson Hall.
Open 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Closed Major Holidays and the week between Christmas Eve and New Year.
Cost: Free
Ownbey Herbarium
The Ownbey houses 100’s of thousands of plant and lichen specimens.
Again, the Conner and Ownbey are more interesting than they sound – even for children.
And they’re free to the public – definitely worth popping in.
Located in Heald Hall, Room G9
Open 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Closed Major Holidays and the week between Christmas Eve and New Year.
Museum of Anthropology
The museum houses an extensive collection of archaeological and ethnographic collections.
Located at College Hall, on the Terrell Mall.
The Museum is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Robert P. Worthman Veterinary Anatomy Teaching Museum
Anatomical specimens preserved in unique ways – hmmm??
The museum is located on the first floor of College Hall.
Cost
Open Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Ferdinand’s Ice Cream Shoppe and WSU Creamery
Ferdinand’s is the delicious outcome when your university researches dairy cows.
Stop by for an ice cream cone, soda fountain drink, or to purchase Cougar Gold Cheese.
You can also check the observation room and watch informative ice cream and cheese-making videos.
The ice cream shop is located at 2035 NE Ferdinand’s Lane.
Open: Monday – Friday from 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
The observation room is open during the same hours, but the best viewing times are reported to be Mon – Thurs from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Warning: Ferdinand’s hours sometimes feel non-sensical. It’s primarily a university program, not a business, so it will be closed just when you feel most like eating ice cream. Just don’t promise your kids ice cream before verifying they’re open.

The local indoor pool offers a day rate – for individual lap swimming and family groups.
The Aquatic Center is adjacent to Military Park. This is a lovely park with picnic tables, a playground, and a view. But…the pool mechanical system is right next to the park.
