Nope — you don’t need any tickets, reservations, or guided tours to see Phil’s Burrow. It’s totally free to visit and anyone can come by the viewing windows whenever the library’s open or from outside anytime. This makes it easy for folks just passing through Punxsutawney to swing by without planning ahead. If you want to explore more about Groundhog Day history or the Groundhog Club events, you can check the official Punxsutawney Groundhog Club website for more info and seasonal events. There’s no formal schedule for when Phil will be active, so just showing up and checking the window is all you need to do. Many people just drop in for a few minutes before heading to lunch or other local sights. It’s also a fun stop if you’re doing a road trip around Pennsylvania and want a unique story to take home.
