The Rocky Statue

After the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, the Rocky Statue is the next Philadelphia stop for tourists. The statue is free to visit. There is always a line, but it goes fast. People spend about 30 seconds with the statue. You can ask the person behind you to take a picture for you. Sometimes there's an entrepreneur who will offer to take pictures for you. I paid one enterprising young man a dollar. Some people didn't pay him anything. I'm happy I did because he helped the line go much faster and he was an expert with camera phones. He took 10 photos of me in different poses and in both portrait and landscape modes, all in 15 seconds.

If you are in Philadelphia, of course you also have to come here Impressive next to the "Rocky" guide in front of the statue is the view from the stairs. Funny to watch at the same time how many "storm" the stairs, regardless of age, gender and physical condition, to celebrate themselves upstairs in Rocky Pose. The view of the Museum of Art at the top and down the stairs towards the skyline are impressive. It is worth strolling along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway towards the city.

I went to the Rocky Statue yesterday, March 13, 2022. It was a special moment for me because Rocky has been a childhood hero of mine since I was 5 years old. Growing up, watching Rocky was inspirational and he was a true fighter against life. I love you Sylvester Stallone for creating such a beloved character that is a true hero to many of us around the world.

Must seen statue if you like Rocky or movies in general. Beware of people asking you to take a picture, they are just trying to get your money. If they take your pic even with your own phone and you don’t tip them, they will get a bit aggressive. After the pic with the statue, walk around the museum, it’s a beautiful path pic N2

It's not in top of the stairs like in the movie. Only reason we saw it was because of the line. We pushed across the street and hopped it for pictures. It's free and people will definitely wait the few minutes for a pic. We even took pictures for each other. CAUTION: there are two guys offering to take pics with your camera however they expect a few dollars. I was used to it being a NYer but my friend was a little overwhelmed.... until I introduced her to Mr Softee

Had a great day riding in Philly last month. It was great to see cycling is a big deal in the city and young people enjoying it. City should consider closing the city center for bikes and pedestrian only once twice a month. You Like my bike? Follow on Instagram #muratibicycles

Cool spot for Rocky fans. There’s a short line to take a photo, and there are a few people who offer to take your picture for a tip. They give you cool and fun ideas and take many photos of you, however you can easily take a regular selfie.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree

The infamous Rocky Statue of Rocky Balboa in Philadelphia! Quite a queue before my turn to take a picture. Do you know that it was previously in front of the museum at the top of the stairs now replaced with just his footprints in metal templates? Due to its irrelevancy to arts, it was moved elsewhere but returned to the bottom right of the stairways due to the powerful demands of fans.

Absolut musst for Cineasts and Movielovers. And of course a pilgrim sanctuary for Sylvester Stallone Fans! Also Rocky is decorated with the Ukrain coulours, which means that Rocky is fighting again Russia once more!
