Get in line around 8:45 am. No ticket required. When in the building, get ur pic first when there is no crowd and then backtrack and look at the museum info. Great cheese steak stand right by the exit. Best cheese steak i had on the trip.

The line to get inside is ridiculous! It's better to stand outside the window next to the bell and take a photo through the glass (unless you are absolutely dying to get inside). Otherwise, it was close to an hour wait to go through the line and get into the building.

The entrance to Liberty Bell is located at Market St just across from Independence Hall. It's free and the center is open between 9 AM and 5 PM. Go early to beat the lines from the school buses. After you go through security you can go quickly through the displays to end up at the Liberty Bell. Worth a brief... More

You kind of have to stop by and view this piece of history. I went early in the morning, so only had to wait about 10 minutes. Lines are much longer in the afternoon. You walk through a room with information about the bell, then get to view it at the end and take some photos. I felt I had... More

It's an icon, a historic treasure, a beloved part of our heritage. Sure, there are crowds but you gotta see it. The rest of the museum is so-so.

I hadn't even heard of the Liberty Bell until a few days before visiting Philadelphia but a few people kept telling me it was a must-see in the city. We arrived to the center during the day and the line was literally 1 hour long so we didn't bother going in. Later on in the day we just happened to... More

I can't believe that they have this area almost right smack in the middle of the lawn, with tons of nonsense, posters, and so on that does nothing but contribute to the pedestrian gridlock in front of the place. They have a similar thing in DC, so I am guessing this is commonplace at important historical attractions. However, we can... More

We could see the line at The Liberty Bell Center from our hotel window. We were there Memorial Day Weekend so the line just seemed to never end. After the weekend the line seemed to be a little shorter so we decided to give it a try. The line moved faster than we thought. The hold-up was that security was... More

Arrived early in the day and stood in line for it to open... Getting here early is your best bet to see things and not get tangled with large groups and long lines to get in to see it. We did this while we waited for our independence hall tour time to come around. The museum sits right across the... More
