The LOVE Shop is the first of its kind in the City of Brotherly Love, dedicated to souvenirs representing artist Robert Indiana''s famous LOVE statue-the central resident of LOVE Park. Since November 2007, Fairmount Park has offered a boutique inventory of the LOVE-themed gifts for sale in response to tourist demands. Examples of the souvenirs include replicas of the LOVE sculpture made of cast aluminum, glass coasters, tiles, key chains, magnets, light-up pens, coffee mugs, holiday ornaments and pins.

For a virtual tour of the Love Shop, go to and click the LOVE button. The Welcome Center was established to promote Fairmount Park programs and facilities throughout the 9,200-acre park system. Artist Robert Indiana''s pop art statue is one of Philadelphia''s cherished landmarks and gives rise to the "LOVE Park" name. A steady stream of tourists and visitors come to the famed LOVE statue for photos on their way to other Philly favorites like the Rocky steps/statue to the west and the Liberty Bell to the east!

LOVE Souvenir Shop hours are 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Call (215) 683-0246 for more information. LOVE Park is at JFK Plaza, 1599 John F. Kennedy Boulevard, Philadelphia, PA.
