You might have to wait a few minutes, but even on nice days you should be able to grab a great pic with the statue . Gonna fly now...
Don't miss Rocky at the bottom of the stairs to the right. He can be easy to miss next to his stairs !

Bad ass statue to visit - climb the stairs and do the Rocky challenge and take in the amazing views of Philly
Take a photo with Rocky . Dont forget to climb stairs . You will see Rocky steps.
Jump in line , strike that iconic pose, get that photo, run up the Art Museum Steps, and then take a nap! Those steps are no joke.
Have a picnic on the front lawn, run up the 66 stairs , dip your feet in the fountain , and enjoy the beautiful city views !
The Rocky statue was first unveiled in RockyIII and was placed at the top of the Art Museum steps. It has since been moved to its current location at the foot and to the right of the Museum steps.
Get your picture taken with Rocky...although it is strange that we have a statue of a fictional character, it defines Philadelphia and no trip here is complete without a photo with Rocky !
Dont forget to take a look at rocky's foot prints on top of steps :)
Did you know that the Rocky statue was originally placed at the top of the steps of the Art Museum ? Run/walk to the top and see what is left of where he once stood.
Lovely city and of course you need take a picture front of Balboa statue :)
While you are checking out ROCKY make time to go to the PHILADELPHIA ART MUSEUM ! It's right behind Rocky (Rocky runs up the Art Museum steps) and home to priceless ART from around the world.
Homeless people will offer to take your picture in front of the statue for tips. They take really good pictures.
Watch out for the thief that wants to take fotos for you. He says he works there and will ask you for money after. Thief and hustler.
Be original, take a photo with Rocky 's back!
If you a fan of that movie go to get a photo.
It is Rocky! Better run up the steps to recreate the Rocky movie .
A little hidden away, but is situated to the right of the stairs to the Museum .
The line to take a photo with it can be incredibly long
It’s the Rocky statue. What else do you need?
Have to take a photo and run the steps to find his converse at the top!
How could you not take a picture here!... It’s a must!
Look out for guys who ask if you want them to take your picture on your phone or camera . After they help you they ask for money.
Pozolj a szoborral, fuss fel a lepcson!
Be ready to pay (I mean tip) the guys guarding (standing next too) the entry to the statue .
"Yo Adrian ". With one of my childhood heroes. :).. #Rocky
Here alone? Lots of other people in line will help take your photo.
I guess what I'm trying to say is: If I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!
This statue was the same one used in Rocky III, released in 1982. Since you're in a WiMAX hotspot, log into Netflix and stream the movie right here!
Be a tourist and take your picture with it.
Be prepared to wait in the line ???? Gonna fly now????
It's not up on the stairs like in the movies !
Iconic. But why did they move it from the top of the Art Museum steps? ;-(
Had so much fun with jason and my pops❤️❤️

Watch out for the guys who want to take a picture of you with your camera . NOT free.... ask another tourist instead.
You have to do the pose... a must.

"Your gonna eat lightning, and your gonna crap thunder!"
