PHL Invites Passengers to Compete in Wii Olympics

Aug. 10, 2016

Passengers visiting Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) can share in the excitement of the 2016 Rio Olympics by testing their athletic skills in the PHL 2016 Wii Olympics.

A special area has been set up post-Security in the Terminal D-E corridor for adults and children to play Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on a 60-inch HD LED monitor. The Nintendo video game will be available on weekdays from Aug. 5 – 19, noon until 2 p.m.

After competing in tennis, swimming and other sports, gold, silver and bronze winners can step on the nearby medal platform that doubles as a selfie spot.

The PHL Wii Olympics are presented as part of the Airport’s “Just Plane Fun” customer appreciation program. Through Labor Day, travelers can enjoy an entertaining mix of live musical performances, fun activities for people of all ages, beauty care demonstrations and makeovers, a book signing, food and beverage samplings and more.

The weekly schedule of events is available at all Airport Information Counters. Follow the activities and events on the Airport’s official Facebook, Flickr, Instagram (phl_airport), and Twitter @PHLAirport accounts.
