Bring your family and friends for a day of fun at this year’s Penn Family Day on Saturday, October 26. Thousands of Penn faculty, staff and families gather for this annual celebration on campus. It’s a chance to show off Penn’s unique environment, where you can watch a football game, visit a world-class museum, go ice skating and more—all in the same day!
This event is open to Penn faculty, staff and postdocs. Keep in mind that you need tickets to attend some of the events. You can get up to four tickets for free, and additional tickets are just $8 each. The ticket order deadline is Wednesday, October 16, so be sure to order yours before time runs out.
The fun centers around the tailgate party (11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.) at the north side of Franklin Field, where you can find free food, face painting, a moon bounce and games for all ages. Then head inside Franklin Field at 1 p.m. to cheer on Penn’s football team as they battle Yale. Don’t forget to order your tickets for both of these events.
And there’s plenty more excitement throughout the day. Explore the Penn Museum from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., enjoying special activities and exhibits like the 100th anniversary celebration of the museum’s ancient Egyptian Sphinx. Watch Penn’s soccer and field hockey teams take on Yale and head to the Penn Ice Rink from 5:30-7 p.m. for discounted skating and skate rentals. All of these activities are free to PennCard holders along with their family and friends.
Free parking will be available with your PennCard at two University lots: the Penn Museum lot at South Street and Convention Boulevard, and the Chestnut 34 lot at 34th and Chestnut Streets.
