I highly recommend the National Constitution Center!! The first thing you do when you get there is go to the Kimmel Theater and listen to a presentation. Bea was a WONERFUL presenter. Her presentation style made for a GREAT beginning to my time here. I also highly suggest spending the extra $4.00 to rent the iPod and headphones for Signer's... more

Excellent hands on Museum. Incorporates history in a friendly hands on atmosphere. Excellent for families. Have your picture taken while taking your oath of office, sign the constitution, stand with the life size bronze statues of our forefathers. Great movie presentation! Make sure you don't miss this!! more

My wife and I went on Mother's Day 2008. Contrasted to the raves of friends of ours, we found the Center somewhat disappointing. The live 12 minute presentation seemed artificial and too short to give substantive information. The captions behind the exhibit's glass enclosures are easy to read but those on the black pedestals are too dark. Also, we feel... more

We visited here with a multi-generational group...the youngest being 4 and 2. It was entirely over their heads but we explained some of it to our 4 year-old. They also had some employees handing out hot cocoa and making projects with the younger kids while we waited for the show to start. I enjoyed the 15-minute pre-show though other reviews... more

My wife and I went here while on a long weekend in Philly as somewhere to get out of the cold (it was mid January). We (foolishly) paid $12 each for admission before realizing that it was only for the show and that we could have just walked up to the exhibits for free (as there was no gate or... more

This museum is an okay museum. It's interactive, and kindof fun. I'd recommend it to people I know, but overall it's an okay museum. Went there a couple of times and it's pretty fun. Gift shop isn't so great. Prices are kindof reasonable. If it weren't intereactive, it be a dead museum so to speak. Lots to do interactivewise. Good... more

I visited the center June 10th and just wanted visitors to know that the air conditioning in the building is set to arctic !! Without a sweater or jacket in tow - the day was 82 degrees - I couldn't fully enjoy the displays as it was so uncomfortably cold and I needed to go outside to defrost. It's well... more

Live in the 'burbs of Philly in Southern Jersey and went with some girlfriends for "Culture Day" and came here first. LOVED IT. We went on a Saturday so there weren't really school groups attending, but there were a fair amount of tourists. Still managable. I loved the 15 minute show, thought it was pretty inspiring. Be sure to pose... more

This is a worthwhile stop on any trip to Philadelphia. Having seen much of the city's attractions previously, this was a new one for me. They do require timed visits that coincide with a live-action (narrated by an actor) that last about 15-minutes. Previous reveiws seemed mixed, but I personally enjoyed it. The main reason are the many interactive exhibits... more
