Weekend ideas for Philly Family Fun
Take a close look around in Philly this weekend and you will be shocked to find Vikings and Flying Dragons have landed here!
“How To Train A Dragon Spectacular”’
Fire-breathing, 50-foot flying dragons come to the Wells Fargo Center this weekend as Cressida Cowell’s exciting tale and movie comes to life in Dreamworks’ “How to Train a Dragon Spectacular.” Featuring Hiccup, a Viking whose family wants to him to learn how to kill dragons but instead he befriends one, the show is like none other and includes 23 animatronic dragons, a 3280 square foot stage and four-story projections screen as its backdrop. Combine all this with a story of love and friendship and you have nothing short of a spectacular! Tickets are available on the web, by phone at 1-800-298-4200, or in person at the Wells Fargo Center Box Office.
