The Reading Pagoda will soon welcome visitors inside for a series of public tours as the landmark moves closer to resuming full operations.<\/p>\n
The Foundation for the Reading Pagoda announced four dates in September and October for a soft launch of the renovated building. Visitors will have an opportunity to walk through the Pagoda, learn about its history and hear about plans for full operations beginning in 2027.<\/p>\n
The soft-launch dates are Sunday, Sept. 6; Saturday, Sept. 19; Sunday, Oct. 4; and Saturday, Oct. 24. The Sept. 6 event is already sold out.<\/p>\n
Admission will be limited to ticketed time slots to comply with the building\u2019s capacity requirements.<\/p>\n
Tickets for each date will be released on a staggered schedule. Tickets for Sept. 19 will become available Sept. 7, followed by tickets for Oct. 4 on Sept. 20 and tickets for Oct. 24 on Oct. 5.<\/p>\n
Tickets and additional information are available at readingpagoda.com\/visit.<\/p>\n
The soft launch marks a significant step toward reopening the landmark following renovation work and an extended closure. The Foundation said the fall events will also give visitors a preview of its plans for the Pagoda\u2019s final operations beginning in 2027.<\/p>\n
Located atop Mount Penn overlooking the City of Reading, the Pagoda is one of Berks County\u2019s most recognizable landmarks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Reading Pagoda will soon welcome visitors inside for a series of public tours as the landmark moves…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":277047,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[128,130,129],"class_list":["post-277046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=277046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277046\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/277047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=277046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=277046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
