Ever wondered about the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France? Check out this article with photographs and lots of information about this landmark!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, has serious celeb status. Completed in March 1889, it's one of the most recognizable monuments in the world. And the site, which is also known as the Iron Lady, receives nearly seven millions tourists a year. But despite its fame, the tower has some monumental secrets.

Learn about 8 insane skyscrapers from around the world in this super cool article from National Geographic Kids!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
These spectacular skyscrapers are so much more than simply tall buildings. Meet some of the funkiest, roundest, cutest, and yes, tallest structures in the world.

Sheraton Huzhou Hot Spring Resort

How high: 335 feet / 27 stories
Nicknamed the "horseshoe hotel," this luxury resort includes two floors underground that complete its oval shape. The inside is spectacular too-the lobby ceiling is covered in 20,000 crystal lamps meant to look like a rolling wave.

Burj Khalifa

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

How high: 2,722 feet / 163 stories
Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world-it's nearly three times as tall as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France! But that's not all-here visitors can take in the view from the world's highest outdoor observation deck, nearly 148 stories up.

Lippo Centre

How high: 610 feet / 46 stories
Nicknamed the " koala buildings," these towers are covered in a geometric pattern that some people think looks like a whole bunch of the Australian marsupials clinging to two tree trunks.

Elephant Building

How high: 335 feet / 32 stories
You may come across an Asian elephant in Thailand, a country in Southeast Asia, but this elephant is unlike any you've seen before. It'd take 33 of the real Asian elephants standing on top of each other to reach the top of the building.

According to National Geographic Kids, a Roman arch "is an engineering marvel." Learn how to make one yourself here!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When you have four ice pieces on each side, you're ready to set the keystone, or center stone, in place. This will be the last piece of the arch and will hold the structure together. Before setting the keystone in place, visually inspect the arch you've assembled thus far. Does it look like the keystone can comfortably fit into the open space at the top of the arch? If the space appears to be too small, you may need to rebuild your arch with the base pieces starting a bit farther apart. If the space seems a little too big, see if you can slide the arch together once the keystone is in place. If the angle isn't quite right and you think you can do better, start all over! It's okay! It's fun trying to race against the clock to build the arch before your ice melts.
