What travelers are saying
- Peter F27 contributionsGreat place to go and spend an hour learning about the liberty bell.
Its history, its significance, its multiple reuses are well explained.
The bell itself with its crack are a must see.Written January 25, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There's also now a Rocky-themed tourist & souvenir stand next to the main statue, so you can get more information about all this. Interesting to see this fictional character's statue next to other statues of actual American heroes along Benjamin Franklin Parkway, such as General Washington.Written March 6, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- A Midlife AdventureDursley, UK2,916 contributionsWe visited this statue en route from the East State Penitentiary to the Rocky Strps.
It’s worth reading the narrative to understand why the statue is actually here in Philadelphia.
It’s certainly impressiveWritten September 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s a large circle in the middle of several major roads yet safe and easy to enter
It offers a nice view snd several good photo opportunities of Philly

- Allen HLittle Rock, AR293 contributionsLocated in Independence Square (behind Independence Hall), I must admit I had no idea who this was. The fact that it only had "BARRY" on it intrigued me so I took a pic. I later found out that he was the first commodore of the U.S. Army. Glad I took a pic.

- Louis FAltus, OK1,312 contributionsIt is a really touching memorial and the artist put a lot of detail into it. It tells a story and is worth taking it in as a whole and up close.Written September 24, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PrincessWashington DC, DC335 contributionsPretty sign, great for snapping some photos~

Nice spot to sit down and relax.
Contemplate what happened around here.
Nice spot to sit down and reflect.
A quiet spot indeed.
Right next to the Hall, but away from the crowds.
Bring a meal and have a picnic.Written November 3, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is pretty standard as memorials like this go, but it does a good job of explaining the war and the sacrifices it is honoring.Written October 23, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Victoria PCarefree, AZ1,819 contributionsQuite an impressive building close to the Masonic Temple. The building takes an entire street block. You will enjoy the architecture of this one. William Penn stands on top of the building in all his glory.Written May 5, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrew LLeigh, UK4,987 contributionsI need to buy a book about this conflict. I didn't know that the battle lines moved so much over the peninsula. Nor that the US lost so many troops. Moving tribute to those who served. Good explainers available. Well worth a visit.Written September 14, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Eddie SBronx, NY1,383 contributionsI gave a higher rating because a statue keeps the past alive.

- TeamWardNottingham, UK5,691 contributionsIf your near City hall then take a look at the worlds largest clothes pin, it seems completely out of place where it is situated but its art, so who knows, worth a look.Written October 25, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
