More information on YMCA Tower

YMCA Tower was designed by Arthur Lewis Harman, the same architect who planned the Empire State Building, this high tower is a city landmark. In addition to the view, the structure contains a 35-bell carillon and three chapels for prayer and meditation. The view from the top is fantastic because there is a separate viewing point on each side of the tower. Peer over the Old City, German Colony, Liberty Bell Park, City Centre and many landmarks. Only four people at a time, accompanied by a YMCA employee, may make the elevator ascent to the top. It is well worth the trip.
