It was nice to see but that whole strip of Philly where the Liberty Bell is and where Independence Hall is - is a complete dump. There are homeless people walking up and down the strip begging for money. Is this what the city of Philadelphia wants tourists to see when they come to their city? At night, we ate... more

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Liberty Bell Center on October 29th. I had never seen the Liberty Bell, and I thought the exhibit was self-explanatory, although there were several National Park rangers there if anyone had questions. The short video gave additional background, and the Liberty Bell was displayed at the end of the exhibit hall, proudly bearing... more

This little mini-museum is definitely worth seeing -- it's free, there are some interesting educational displays, and then you can stand within a mere foot or two of the actual Liberty Bell, an enduring symbol of freedom for our country. more

Very Cool

I hadn't ever been to Philadelphia so when I finally made it I was so pleased to see how well the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall were preserved. If you love history you have to go to Philadelphia. more

The liberty bell is located close to the mint factory and several kinds of city tours (horse cart, trolley, duck). It closes at 5, so make sure you go there before that. The gift shop opposite to the bell is expensive, but if you head west down market st, you should be able to find cheaper alternatives for souvenirs! :) more

Its a piece of US history, and so we felt we must see it, and we'lre glad we did. The facility is nice, with some history of the bell and different movements that used it as a symbol (suffrage, anti-slavery). We almost didn't think there was time because there was a line outside, but that was just for security checking... more

On our recent visit to Philadelphia, we included the Liberty Bell Center in our itinerary. Admission is free and no ticket is required. The waiting line was immense, but it moved very quickly. Our bags were searched by security before we could go inside. The Liberty Bell Center is a one-story building composed of see-through panels, and has a sleek... more

Perfect!

Wow, talk about different points of view! My family LOVED the overarching messages of liberty and freedom and how OUR bell represented that to people all around the globe. The exhibit was free, easy to access and a pure joy. We started our trip with a walk-over to see it and were not disappointed. more

Did you think that the Liberty Bell was one of a handful of powerful symbols of American Freedom? Then you are so 2002! By the time the National Park Service got done moving the bell into its new home in 2003, it had somehow been transformed almost exclusively into an "international icon of Freedom." This squishy one-worldism permeates the whole... more

The lines were reasonable, the security was quick and personable, and the sight was worth seeing. I wouldn't go back to see it all over again, but it was still a great experience. more
