7. Eiffel Tower Ice Rink (Paris) The Eiffel Tower ice rink is a good example of an impractical and awesome modification. The first-level rink is located about 60 meters above the Champs de Mars and is included in tower admission price. It opened in 1969, was renovated and reopened in 2004. The rink is closed this year due to refurbishment on the tower's first floor, but next year it'll be open again.
