The Eiffel Tower at Kings Dominion is decidedly less famous than the one you’ll find in Paris, but we’d argue that it’s even more thrilling. That’s because the one in Virginia is located in the heart of a theme park. Standing 315 feet, it’s approximately one-third the size of the real thing. And, should you venture to the top, you’ll be able to see 18 miles out! Here’s more on why a visit to the Eiffel Tower replica in Virginia belongs on your radar.

Tucked away in the very heart of Kings Dominion awaits the Eiffel Tower, a symbol of the park's beginnings.

The Kings Dominion Eiffel Tower was constructed in 1975, the same year that the park opened. It's also the second one of its kind to be built; the first replica was constructed three years earlier at the Cedar Fair Parks property in Ohio known as Kings Island.
