The Office Fan Tours, Scranton
Saturday, August 7th, 2010 | 101 comments
The Office Fan Tours take place in Scranton, PA, and showcase landmarks made famous in ‘The Office,’ such as The Mall at Steamtown, Cooper’s, Poor Richard’s, and Lake Scranton! (I’ve been on the tour myself, and it’s a blast.)
Includes: four-hour tour, lunch at Cooper’s, drinks at Poor Richard’s, and gift bag.
Price: $45 adults, $35 children | Buy tickets
UPDATE: I recently was forwarded this letter from fan tour organizers:
Dear Tim,
I just wanted to drop a note and let you know that Tricia and I had a terrific time during the tour. It was exactly what we expected, and we couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide. Please pass our regards on to the group (Andrea especially) — you all made it a terrific experience for us.
As a side note — I proposed to Tricia at a gas station just outside of Scranton on Sunday morning (ala Jim and Pam). She had no idea it was coming, and I think we might make an annual trek back to Scranton to celebrate. Feel free to pass this on to whomever and thanks again.
Regards,
Troy and Tricia
Awwwww. Thanks for sharing your story, Troy and Tricia! Perhaps you’ll consider a Lake Scranton venue or maybe an Office-themed wedding? :)
Only five more tours left this year — Aug 21, Sept 18, Oct 16, Nov 13, and Dec 11!
Highly recommended. Buy tickets

If my boyfriend and I were the winners of “The Office Fan Tour Giveaway” the landmark that we would most enjoy seeing would be Lake Scranton as shown in the “Beach Games” episode. This is one of our favorites as it is where Pam was finally able to prove something to herself and stand up to the others.
If I was the winner of the “The Office Fan Tour Giveaway”, I would be most excited to visit Lake Wallenpaupack because Booze Cruise is one of my all time favorite episodes!!
If I am the winner of the Office Fan Tour Giveaway, I would be the most excited to visit Poor Richard’s pub because that is a place that the office workers in the show like to hang out at a lot after work and I think it would be interesting to see the place that inspired that.
If I win “The Office Fan Tour Giveaway”, I would be most excited about seeing Lake Scranton because I love mother nature and its now a tourist location made possible by…my favorite actor B.J. Novak!
ohmigod. i am so pumped about this! i know im just a teen, but if i won the ‘Office Fan Tour Giveaway’, it would be the highlight of my life! you have no idea :) id love to visit everywhere the tour goes and more!
If my fiance and I were to win “The Office Fan Tour Giveaway” it would be a great early honeymoon for us (we get married in July). The sight we’re most excited to see is COOPERS Restaurant which is ironic because my fiance is allergic to shellfish. Please pick us, we’re the LATINO version of Jim & Pam :)
For The Office Fan Tour Giveaway, I’d want to visit Lake Scranton to see if I could find Andy floating in it.

If I won The Office Fan Tour Giveaway, I would find the Chili’s restaurant closest to Scranton, then proceed to ask them all about the Dundie awards ceremonies, including a certain crazy receptionist. I would also bring my Dundie with me so my sister and I could act out part of the awards episode – and sing the baby back ribs song. (Is it bad that it would be a dream come true if we were banned for life?) And for those wondering about more “official” Scranton landmarks, I’d make my own drive-by opening credit video sequence for good measure.
I would like to have a beer at Poor Richard’s if I won the Office Fan Tour Giveaway!
If I won The Office Fan Tour Giveaway I would like to see Lake Wallenpaupack because my favorite episode was the Booze Cruise!
I would love to visit Poor Richard’s, and then have my best friend’s bachelorette party there, the attendants are all office fans!
If I win The Office Fan Tour Giveaway, the landmark I most want to see is the “Electric City” sign, WHAT? The “Electric City” sign! WHAT? The “Electric City” sign!!
The landmark I’d most like to see is Poor Richards…because the duck in the vending machine is so cute. I wonder if they have another.
If I won the tickets from The Office Fan Tour Giveaway I’d like to go to Steamtown Mall.
…because I do have some things to return in the trunk of my car.
The landmark I’d most be excited for is Poor Richard’s, because it seems to be the most referenced. Who wouldn’t want to hang out where “The Office” gang do? I probably won’t win The Office Fan Tour Giveaway but a girl’s gotta dream.
I’d consider myself lucky to win “The Office Fan Tour Giveaway” because it would mean…a day or two out of my OWN office! :) I’d most like to see the Steamtown Mall, because what girl wouldn’t love to shop in the fashion capital of the USA – Scranton, PA!
If I won the “Office Fan Tour Giveaway” I would be most excited to visit Poor Richards. It seems like it would actually be a fun place I would frequent if I lived in Scranton. I mean, I’m no Meredith, but I’m just saying.
Winning “The Office Fan Tour Giveaway” would be a dream come true! I’m most excited about visiting Cooper’s. The beet salad sounds a little scary, but I would love to try it just to say I have.
If I won the Office Fan Tour Giveaway, I would want to visit Poor Richards because of all the great episodes tied to that place, and most especially, because that’s where we got to see Possessive Jim come out when the bartender tried to put the moves on Pam in Season 4 Local Ad.
If I won “The Office Fan Tour Giveaway” and I got to visit Scranton, I would love to go to Lake Wallenpaupack. I don’t know if there are booze cruises on it, but if there are it would be pretty awesome to go on one.
