The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is a MUST see. The information is provided in a logical order that helps you understand the context of historical events. There is an overwhelming amount of information provided... and a person could easily spend two days there (providing they read everything). Also, there are several neat films/experiences that put you in the action.... more

I was expecting much more. Not a bad place for a school trip or something like that, but not a good place for a family vacation destination. I can't believe they used that location for a museum when it would have been perfect for bars / restaurants / live entertainment after the ballgames. more

The museum was excellent and very informative. I will definitely take my family back to see it. Make sure you have time if you want to see everything and not rush. It took me about 4 hours to watch all the films and see all the exhibits. It was interactive and would be fun for the kids. It has a... more

We loved the architecture of this building, especially in the setting. Too bad they don't have any good postcard views; we didn't have our camera. I love museums, and this is a subject that is very dear to me, but it seemed like there was just tons of text everywhere. I did appreciate what clearly was a lot of work... more
