About Gobbler's Knob

Gobbler's Knob is the wooded hilltop about 2 miles southeast of downtown Punxsutawney where Punxsutawney Phil delivers his weather prediction every February 2. The rest of the year you can walk the grounds for free and climb onto the stage for a photo beside Phil's burrow. The Groundhog Visitor Center on site holds a souvenir shop, murals, and interactive and historical displays about a tradition that dates to 1887 here.
