The fall season is beautiful in the Hudson Valley. Parents Clubs sponsor Football Saturday Coffee Hours. There is a cadet review, and the game usually begins around 1 p.m. The games are exciting and tailgating at West Point is a unique experience. Visiting West Point when no special events are scheduled has the advantage of more free time with your cadets and fewer crowds.
Receptionists are available to provide information about West Point and the surrounding area.
Murals, videos, movies and static displays, including a model of a cadet room, inform visitors of the mission, history and operation of the U.S. Military Academy. A commercial tour company operates from this facility, providing regularly scheduled bus tours that include points of interest like the Cadet Chapel and Trophy Point. Maps are available for self-guided tours. Parents Club members are a good source of information. Clubs often reserve blocks of rooms for special cadet events.
