Independence Hall - Historical landmark in Philadelphia - 520 Chestnut St, USA

Pleasant way to learn about the history of the nation and how this country was formed. The tour was very informative. The staff was top notch, knowledgeable and polite. Could not ask for a better visit to this historic site. A trip that every citizen has to visit at least once. And if you live nearby, every 10 years or so to appreciate the greatness of this nation and the wisdom of its founders.

The Liberty Bell is across the street so it was an opportunity to see both of these historic sights.No wait but we did have to take off our coats and go through a scan.We were not charged for either place (but I did see a sign about buying tickets?) My son went in the summer and said the lines were very long,we went the week before Christmas and there wasn't a line at all. I was humbled to take both of these important and fascinating tours,highly recommend!

Absolute must see to learn about the history of the country and appreciate what the early Americans went through. You have to make a reservation online and it does fill up so try to do it in advance. The tour lasts about 25 minutes but depends on who you get for a tour guide. Our tour guide was amazing and his voice carried and demonstrated his true passion about the place. It's truly amazing to think about what discussions occurred here and we are lucky to be able to see the building.

A must see while visiting Philadelphia as Independence Hall is the birthplace of America! Both the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were debated and signed inside. I booked tickets online a few days before, as this isn’t the busy season, but book as soon as you know you’re visiting! The tour guide was wonderful and the whole experience was very inspiring.

Awesome to see the history! For the tours you are supposed to book tickets online for $1. When we showed up, they were pretty lax about everything and didn’t really check our tickets but I think it’s because we went on a Thursday afternoon. Tour guides were great! Also, there aren’t any bathrooms around Independence Hall only at the visitor Center.

Independence Hall was a insightful exploration into America's past. The iconic Assembly Room, where the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted, was a powerful sight. The original furniture and layout transported me back to the pivotal moments that shaped our nation. The hushed reverence in the room was palpable. Seeing the inkstand used to sign the Declaration of Independence and the chair George Washington occupied added a tangible connection to the founding fathers. The exterior of Independence Hall is equally impressive, and the Liberty Bell Center nearby is a must-visit. While I missed a guided tour, the freedom to explore independently allowed me to absorb the atmosphere and reflect on the weight of the history contained within this iconic landmark. Must visit for history buffs and those visiting Philadelphia.

Within under a six (6) block radius you’ll be treated to arguably the most historic sites in American History. Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, The Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross’ House, Ben Franklin’s Printing Office- home of the first newspaper and the first gossip column in the US, Benjamin Franklin’s Grave, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange- the first stock exchange in the United States, United States Mint- the first monetary site in the US, and the United States Postal Museum- the first postal agency in the US

Excellent American History to explore for FREE (for the months of Jan and Feb) The rangers were very helpful! They are full of knowledge and took their time to address all of your queries. It was a great in person history lesson, really enjoyed the experience. Definitely a must stop if you are in Philly. Within walking distance, you can visit the Congress, Liberty 🔔 and George Washington’s old home.
