If you enjoy American history as much as I do you can easily spend the entire day reading through all the exhibits in this modern interactive museum. Best of all for me were the mini-biographies of various personalities in the story of America, some well-known and others previously unknown to me. Some exhibits are a bit over the top in... More

If you only see two historic sites in Philly, it would be Independence Hall and the Constitution Center. This should be mandatory for all of our elected officials! You don't have to be a constitutional scholar to find deep meaning in our great founding document, and this museum brings many of the concepts to life. I believe it is most... More

Always something interesting here, from the traveling shows such as the Nashville songwriters from Vanderbilt's First Amendment center to Springsteen memorabilia to fascinating guest lecturers.

This is one of the best attractions in Philadelphia. I have been there the last 3 years in April on a 7th grade field trip and every year I get goose bumps from the performance. My students are mesmerized when they watch it. The students really learn alot as they walk around the timeline of history and it is great... More

It all began with a 30 minute live show that takes you through the process leading up to the Constitution as well as how history has responded to the US Constitution since then. On then to a walk of history with the finale at an amazing must see room called Signers Hall. A room filled with life size bronze statues... More

We are local to the Philadelphia area and I never get tired of this educational and fun place! I know it can be rented out as many of my children's friends attended their proms here! Highlighting the start of our nation within walking distance of other attractions make this Stop #1 for A Day in Philly!

We enjoyed our visit to the National Constitution Center with a 3 and a 6 year old. We weren't initially sure how interesting they would find it, but it turned out great. The Freedom Rising show (included in admission fee) is actually really interesting and well done. It combines nice use of multimedia and live presentation. The rest of the... More

Our kids did not find this interesting. For the cost of entry it was not worth the visit. Again. Another location not to visit if there are field trips going on. Too many kids, not enough supervision by chaperons. I have been a teacher and when someone is a chaperon they should actually make their kids behave.

The Constitution Center in Philly is a fantastic historical museum. I loved the hall with the bronze presidents all to size where you can walk among them and look into their faces and get a sense of their personality. My favorite was the area of the Supreme Court where it is interactive. You are given an actual case and the... More
