Philadelphia, get ready to relive your favorite movie moments, because the Rocky Philadelphia Bus Tour 2025 is back with even more action-packed experiences for fans! Running every Saturday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. through the summer, this immersive tour lets you step right into the iconic scenes and legendary locations that made Rocky a global phenomenon.
After debuting to rave reviews during RockyFest 2024, this year’s tour now comes with a major addition: the 1 p.m. afternoon slot includes an all-new stop at Pat’s King of Steaks. Guests have a chance to purchase a classic Philly cheesesteak right where a slice of South Philly history was made, making this tour a must for both film buffs and foodies.
As you roll through the city, the Rocky Philadelphia Bus Tour hits every legendary spot:
- Laurel Hill Cemetery—Visit the fictional gravesites of Adrian and Paulie, a touching nod to pivotal scenes in the film series.
- Mighty Mick’s Gym and the surrounding neighborhood—a look at where Rocky trained and the spirit of South Philly thrives.
- Pat’s King of Steaks—Exclusive to the 1 p.m. tour, this stop blends Philly flavor with cinematic magic.
Each journey launches and wraps up at the Rocky Shop near the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Of course, you’ll have a chance to charge up the legendary “Rocky Steps” and capture your own victorious pose at the top—a rite of passage for any Rocky fan.
Maita Soukup, Vice President of Experience and Engagement at the Visitor Center, said, “Nearly every day of the year we greet passionate Rocky fans from around the world, excited to experience the real Philadelphia locations featured in the Rocky films. Thanks to our partnership with Pat’s King of Steaks, The Philly PLASH, WeVenture, and Laurel Hill Cemetery, this tour delivers an authentic taste of Rocky’s Philadelphia—where the city’s real stories and sporting legends inspired, and were inspired by, this legendary film franchise.”
Since the Parkway Visitor Center and Rocky Shop opened at the base of the “Rocky Steps” in October 2023, over 5,000 visitors per week have discovered Philly’s museums, attractions, and exclusive Rocky merchandise through the Visitor Center’s four locations citywide.
