Eiffel Tower's Visit To Philly Extended!



It towers 81-feet into the air,  reaching for the sky as trains and planes zoom overhead.
And it has dazzled visitors twice nightly through the month of April.
This unique attraction with 6,000 light bulbs is truly a light and sound spectacular.
Its thousands of lights shimmer, sparkle, and dance to programmed music.
Yes, it's a faithful replica of the world famous Eiffel Tower right in the middle of  Philadelphia's huge Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts.
The tower was brought to Philadelphia for the city's Internation Festival of Performing Arts. Now, the Festival is over and the light show was scheduled to be over as well.
But, here's the good news: Though the festival may be gone, the Eiffel Tower light show will remain at the Kimmel Center through the summer. It's been held over by popular demand.
So, if you haven't seen it, you've still got plenty of time. The show is free and it goes on at 7 PM and 10 PM nightly.
Kids love it, so bring the family. And don;t forget to show it off to out-of-town visitors this summer!
We saw it Sunday evening and we will be returning to see it again.
