Activities

Peruse Main Street where you’ll see 10 hand-painted murals alongside buildings created by a group of Walldogs (international mural artists) that define the people, places and products that helped shape Butler’s rich history.

Create your own masterpiece at Brushes & Barstools. Make reservations for one of their painting events and feel free to bring your own food and drinks, because it’s BYOB for everyone.

Challenge yourself and teammates to a one-of-a-kind physical adventure game at Butler’s Great Escape. You only have 60 minutes to solve the mystery, so you’ll have to think outside of the box; or in this case, room.

Tour Butler’s Maridon Museum, the only museum in the Western Pennsylvania region to focus specifically on Chinese and Japanese art and culture. Containing over 800 objects, the museum holds jade and ivory sculptures, tapestries, landscape paintings and artifacts from Neolithic to 20th century. The porcelain collection features Meissen (German pottery) pieces from the 18th and 19th centuries.
