Went here about 1:30 on a Thursday in October and walked right in. No tickets are required for the Liberty Bell but they only allow so many people in at a time and you have to go through a security check to enter. If you get behind a big tour group or come here during the weekend, you could be in for a wait. The museum and building surrounding the Liberty bell are great and you can get extremely close to the Liberty Bell and take pictures with Independence Hall in the background. The bell is big but if you are just here to see a physical bell, then you are going to be disappointed. Take time to go through the exhibits and find out what the bell symbolizes and the history of the bell. Once you understand the background of the bell, then you will be much more impressed by it.

The line for the Liberty Bell Center starts outside, so we just watched the line until it went WAY down, then hopped in. The center is FREE to enter, and walks through the history of the Bell, but we mostly skipped through that. The area around the Bell is not very big, and there are A LOT of people taking pictures. There was a line for "front row" pictures, but most people just crowd around and get what they can get. It was neat to see, but it wasn't anything special.

An important part of a visit to Philadelphia, viewing the Liberty Bell is a moving experience for anyone that loves America and American history. Free to see, worth a wait in line if you have time, easy to take a picture of from the outside if the lines are too long. Occupancy is very limited due to COVID and social distancing requirements. We walked by the center several times during our 4 day visit to the city; always long lines on the weekend, no line on a Tuesday afternoon. All visitors must pass through a standing metal detector, and all bags are x-rayed just inside the entrance. Along with more major no-no's, pocket knives of any size are not allowed inside, so draw straws to leave one person of your party outside with anything that would trip an alarm. Lots of interesting pictures and historical information on display boards inside; about 10-15 minute experience to adsorb everything. Don't miss this!

I understand why they protect the Liberty Bell but..... It’s to protective of the Bell. And the line that me and my family stood in was unbelievable it took at least 30-40 minutes to see the Liberty Bell. And we only stayed in there for like 10-20 minutes because we were just wanting to see the bell not the posters or whatever. And it was a great visit to the Liberty Bell.

When visiting Philadelphia you simply have to go and see the Liberty Bell, an iconic symbol of American independence. The bell that used to be hung in Independence Hall (across the street) it can be seen in the "Liberty Bell Center" where is has been kept since 2003. The bell was commissioned in 1752 by the Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly from the London firm of Lester and Pack (known subsequently as the Whitechapel Bell Foundry). The bell first cracked when rung after its arrival in Philadelphia, and was twice recast by local workmen John Pass and John Stow, whose last names appear on the bell. The Visitor Center is full of educational information and artifacts relating to American Independence and the history of this famous bell. It is free of charge to enter the Bell Center and on entry you do go through security scanners. There is a guide who stands at the bell who gives a short talk about the Bell. Well worth a visit to see this famous cracked bell.

We missed a flight due to poor weather and used the time we had in Philadelphia to take in some great American history. The museum was well done with enough information that you could fully understand the importance of what the Liberty Bell represents to America. Absolute great and you need to go to get to understand the Liberty Bells significance.

i have to admit we did not read any of the exhibit along the hall way to THE BELL. we know the story; we should all know the story. but seeing the bell from the entry door just made my eyes tear up. i had been told it was much smaller than others imagined, but i thought the size was just perfect. the presentation of it is very well done - back lit by a bank of windows and nothing around it. we were very fortunate to go on a Monday in mid-January so there were very few people. JUST GO! it is a symbol we should all want to see and admire. and let your eyes water just looking at it.

Admission is free. We only had to wait about 20 minutes to enter the building. Only one family unit is allowed at a time. They are keeping the occupancy level at 20 visitors at a time inside in order to properly distance. Go early in the day so the wait isn’t too long. You will be standing outside in what ever the weather is doing. Wear a hat! Hot if sunny. The Bell's history is well displayed and explained. If you read everything , you’ll be in there for about 45 minutes. The bell was smaller than I imagined. It is very respectfully exhibited, you cannot touch it!

There is nearby parking in a garage with easy access to see the Liberty Bell. The line to get in the building was quite long but moved rather quickly. There is security upon entering the building. You must empty pockets and go through a detector but the process doesn't take long. Once inside, there is so much history to read, if you like. It was very interesting to read how much the Liberty Bell meant to the people of that era. The Bell itself is well kept. Bring your camera and your reading glasses. If you are a reader, you will spend some time here. It could be a couple of hours if you read the information in and outside of the building.

We visited the Liberty Bell on a Sunday morning around opening time (9:00 a.m.) We had about a 30 minute wait to get inside. Unlike Independence Hall, there is only one line to wait for the Liberty Bell. Once you go inside and pass security, you can visit the displays. This is a self-guided attraction.
