Star Wars Exhibit Entrance

Do you get excited every time you hear the phrase, “Luke, I am your father” in a deep, breathy tone? Do you know the events that caused a young boy to turn into the beast that is Darth Vader? If so, you’re undoubtedly going to enjoy the new Star Wars exhibit coming to the Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia. This traveling exhibit will be in the City of Brotherly Love until May 4, so you have plenty of time to visit it as many times as you’ve seen the six installments of the Star Wars series.

The official name of the exhibit is Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination. And just like its name, the exhibit features a combination of displays that test the limits of science and imagination. Think of how exciting it would be to see Luke Skywalker’s landspeeder from the first Star Wars movie (which is actually the fourth episode in the series). Other than that, there are more than 100 other exhibits you’ll enjoy.

But wait! There’s more!

In addition to numerous displays, there are more than 20 exhibits that offer visitors the opportunity to interact. You can play the role of one of your favorite characters, whether it’s Hans Solo, C-3PO, or even Princess Leia. Sit in the driver’s seat of the Millennium Falcon and tour the galaxies while dodging comets, planets, and stars. Or see what it’s like to be in the body of a gold-plated, wise-cracking robot partnered with a smaller robot that only speaks in squeaks and beeps.

The exhibit also focuses on the possibility of making the science in Star Wars a reality today (or at least in the near future). Can you imagine your children being able to ride a hovercraft to school each day? Or learning about space exploration in school by actually going into space? With the technology used in the Star Wars movies, it could be a real possibility in your child’s lifetime.

If you want to visit the Philadelphia area so you can take part in fighting storm troopers and experience a “galaxy far, far away,” there are ten hotels in the area that are offering exclusive packages for fans. The Star Wars VIP Hotel Package includes a VIP pass, tickets to the exhibition that you can use any day of the week, and other features that only true fans will enjoy.

While you’re in the neighborhood, you can visit one of our 3 Philadelphia-area Mercedes-Benz dealerships and see the future of technology and luxury in the autos market. Our Product Specialists are ready to take you for a test drive so you can experience the smooth ride, true elegance, and special features that only a Mercedes provides. These cars may not take you through galaxies to fight cosmic invaders, but they are close to the next best thing. See what you’ve been missing and get behind the wheel today!

North Bowl Philly

The Northern Liberties area of Philadelphia continues to provide fun and excitement for its nearby residents. A while ago, a new Foodery opened on the corner of Poplar and Second Streets. And even more recently in July 2006, the North Bowl facility opened just a few doors away.

Philadelphia residents will like the North Bowl because it includes more than 21,000 square feet of space with more than 15 bowling lanes. That means less waiting on those nights when everybody has the same idea to go bowling! But that’s not the only thing this renovated mechanic’s garage offers to avid bowlers and those just looking for a night of fun. The North Bowl facility also has two full bars where you can get your favorite adult drink.

Or you can choose to visit the upstairs lounge and enjoy the comfort of plush Italian sofas, an arcade, and even a couple of pool tables when you feel like taking a break from the noise of knocking the pins down. Visitors can even get a bit to eat or simply use the lounge as a place to enjoy the company of friends. And with the glassed-in area, you can even look over all the fun going on among the bowlers without the racket.

The bowling alley floor isn’t without its own charm, either. Bowlers enjoy the retro furnishings that take you back to the 1950s every time you throw the colored ball down the lane. Pictures from bowling movies like The Big Lebowski hang on the walls, while the bars are decorated with stained wood. You’ll also notice a friendly staff that is always willing to make your bowling experience as fun and exciting as it can be.

With all of its features and unique opportunities for fun, North Bowl is the ideal place for your next big event in the Philadelphia area. Whether you want to throw a party for all of your employees, a birthday celebration for a friend, or a graduation get-together for that special nephew, North Bowl can accommodate large groups of up to 300 people who have varied interests. The facility is open throughout the week from 5:00 PM until 2:00 AM, and on the weekends from 11:00 AM until 2:00 AM. If you visit once, you’ll want to make it a weekly tradition for sure.

On the way to the North Bowl alleys, make a stop at one of our 3 Philadelphia-area Mercedes-Benz retail centers in West Chester, PA; Wilmington, DE; or Fort Washington, PA and see the finest vehicles Philadelphia has to offer. With the exquisite technology and unmatched luxury, it’s impossible to get a “gutter ball” when you’re sitting behind the wheel of a new or certified Benz. In fact, you’ll feel like you’re bowling all strikes every time you get an admiring glance from the driver next to you at the red light. Give one a try today!
