See Life Through the Bifocals



There are plenty of great tourist spots throughout the city. However, only one can put you in the middle of America's fight for independence. Lights of Liberty's Liberty 360 is a 3D spectacle that is led by Philadelphia's own Benjamin Franklin. The 15 minute show will take you through 18th century Philadelphia. The state of the art 360-degree theater is at the Historic Philadelphia Center in the PECO theater on a 50 foot long, 8 foot high screen. Liberty 360 runs year round with shows starting every 20 minutes.



Coming this spring/summer is another must see experience. A new addition to Lights of Liberty will take place at night outside of Independence Hall. Audience's will wear headsets as images up to 5 stories high are projected on to some of the city's most historic buildings to the tunes of the Philadelphia Orchestra and narrators. 

Over two centuries have passed since America's independence. It is great to see that with the rapid development of technology that Philadelphia is using it to bring us closer to the history which helped build the city and the country.
