Rocky Statue and Steps

The Rocky Statue and Steps: A Philadelphia Landmark

Created for a scene in "Rocky III," the Rocky Statue resides at the base of "The Rocky Steps" at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, eternally capturing the spirit of the iconic fictional boxer as he trained in the original movie.

Experiencing the Steps and Statue

For a complete "Rocky" experience, challenge yourself to run up the 72 steps of the museum. Don’t be concerned if you need to take breaks along the way. At the summit, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, often likened to the Champs-Élysées in Paris, just as Sylvester Stallone's character did in the film. Many visitors suggest that the photo opportunity with the "Rocky" statue before or after your climb is a highlight worth any wait you may encounter.

Other Ways to Enjoy

Additional ways to immerse yourself in this iconic attraction include participating in The Yo Philly! Rocky Film Tour or joining the annual Rocky Run. In this event, participants can choose from a 5K, a 10-mile, or even a half-marathon known as the Italian Stallion Challenge.
