Scranton, Pennsylvania is more than just the setting of Dunder Mifflin…it’s packed with real places from the show that fans can actually visit.
From iconic landmarks to spots where legendary scenes went down, this small city is full of fun surprises for true Office fans.
Grab your Dundie, cue the theme song, and get ready to explore the real-world Scranton.
1. Pennsylvania Paper & Supply Co. (215 Vine St)
The Pennsylvania Paper & Supply Co. building in Scranton is the one with the big tower you can’t miss.
This spot is super famous because it’s shown right at the beginning of every episode of The Office during the opening credits.
Fans love to stop by and snap a photo out front since it’s one of the only real Scranton buildings used in the show (the rest was mostly filmed in California).
Fun fact: John Krasinski, who played Jim, actually filmed the footage of the building himself while driving around Scranton before the show started!
2. The Marketplace at Steamtown (300 Lackawanna Ave)
Just a few blocks away, The Marketplace at Steamtown is where you’ll find one of the coolest photo ops in town.
Head inside and you’ll see the famous “Scranton Welcomes You” sign from The Office opening credits—it’s the exact one from the show.
This sign used to be at the entrance to the city, but now it lives indoors where fans can snap pics without worrying about traffic.
The Marketplace at Steamtown is mentioned all the time in the show as ‘Steamtown Mall’ but they actually changed their name in 2016 to The Marketplace at Steamtown.
3. Cooper’s Seafood House (701 N Washington Ave)
Next stop: Cooper’s Seafood House, a giant pirate ship–looking restaurant that’s pretty famous in Scranton.
It got name-dropped a bunch of times in the show as Michael, Dwight, and the gang were always talking about it like it was the place to be.
Inside, you’ll find a nautical theme throughout, along with a gift shop packed with Office souvenirs.
If you’re hungry, grab some lobster roll and pretend you’re gossiping with Pam and Jim on their lunch break.
4. Alfredo’s Pizza Café (1040 S Washington Ave)
After that, head over to Alfredo’s Pizza Café—yes, the real one, not Pizza by Alfredo which the gang famously hated.
This spot is mentioned in several episodes and the crew actually dine there in the “Heavy Competition” episode.
The pizza here is actually amazing, with a crispy crust and gooey cheese that totally lives up to the hype.
You can even sit down for a slice and imagine Kevin drooling over it because honestly, same.
5. Poor Richard’s Pub (125 Beech St)
Ready for a drink?
Poor Richard’s Pub is the dive bar where the Office gang let loose after work and yes, it’s 100% real and still open.
It’s tucked behind a bowling alley, which makes finding it feel like you’ve just unlocked a Scranton secret.
Inside, the vibe is chill, the beer is cold, and you can totally picture Meredith doing karaoke in the corner while Stanley sips a Scotch.
6. Electric City Sign (507 Linden St)
Once you’re feeling buzzed like Michael after two beers, head downtown to see the legendary Electric City sign light up the sky.
This is the sign that appears in the “Lazy Scranton” video in “The Merger” episode and yes, it’s just as iconic in real life.
It’s perched on top of a building right in the middle of the city, glowing red letters and all, and looks especially cool at night.
Snap a photo, yell “Electric City!” for good measure, and get ready for your next stop on this Office-obsessed adventure.
7. The Office: The Story of Us Mural (503 Lackawanna Ave)
Right around the corner, you’ll find The Office: The Story of Us mural, and trust me, this one’s a total heart-stealer.
It’s a huge, colorful tribute painted on the side of a building, featuring realistic black-and-white portraits of 17 main characters from the show.
Fans helped bring it to life, and you can spend forever spotting all your favorite moments hidden in the artwork.
It’s like a giant love letter to Scranton and The Office, and honestly, it’s selfie gold.
8. Dwight Schrute Mural (1138 Capouse Ave)
Next up is a must-see for any true Assistant to the Regional Manager—yep, it’s the Dwight Schrute mural.
You’ll find it on the side of On&On Vintage at 1138 Capouse Ave, and it’s basically Dwight in all his beet-farming, stapler-in-jello glory.
The mural is huge, bold, and absolutely perfect for channeling your inner Schrute with a power pose.
Don’t forget to check out the vintage shop while you’re there as it’s packed with unique finds that even Dwight might approve of (but probably wouldn’t smile at).
9. World’s Largest Dundie Award (Scranton City Hall, 340 N Washington Ave)
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any more Office-y, there’s the World’s Largest Dundie Award right outside Scranton City Hall.
This giant golden trophy was set up in 2021 to celebrate the show’s legacy, and it’s basically a dream come true for any fan.
It stands tall with “Best Hometown of The Office” engraved on it.
Michael Scott would 100% demand a selfie here, and honestly, so should you.
10. Lake Scranton Walking Trail (off Route 307)
When you’re ready to step into nature, hit up the Lake Scranton Walking Trail.
This is the peaceful spot mentioned in the show where the episode “Beach Games” took place.
The paved loop goes around the lake for about 3.5 miles, with chill views and zero raccoons (we hope).
It’s the perfect place to recreate that awkward jog scene or just enjoy a quiet stroll while humming the Office theme song.
11. Chili’s “Scranton Branch” (3905 Commerce Blvd, Dickson City)
And of course, no Office tour is complete without a stop at the famous Chili’s—the site of the Dundies episode.
While it’s technically in Dickson City, this Chili’s became legendary after Pam got banned (and a little too tipsy) during one unforgettable night.
The real-life location at 3905 Commerce Blvd totally leans into the fame, and yep, they’ve got a plaque marking the spot.
Order some baby back ribs, toast to “Whitest Sneakers” or “Hottest in the Office,” and end your road trip on a high.
