Independence National Historical Park

There are several historically significant buildings and attractions in this area, including the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and the Courthouse. The area where Benjamin Franklin lived is also close by. All the Park Service staff were very friendly and helpful. As my wife and I walked in the footsteps of the Founding Fathers, we were humbled and overwhelmed, it was quite an experience.

We had a great day walking around and seeing the history of America! It's really nice that there is SO much to see in just a few block radius. We did a walking tour and that really helped to highlight everything that there is here.

I definitely recommend visiting this place. It helps you understand the USA history & its Declaration of Independence. The guides are very knowledgeable and explain very clearly and detailed. The infrastructure is antique but very well maintained. It's very important to get the tickets in advance!

Truly beautiful and amazing that this is where our country began! You can very much appreciate what was done by that small group of individuals and has me wanting our current federal representatives to have a field trip and remind themselves of what the founders had envisioned for us!

Independence National Historical Park in Philly is honestly a must-see if you’re all about that American history vibe. It’s like walking through the OG moments of the U.S. — think George Washington, the Constitution, and the birth of democracy. If you’re even a little bit into learning about how America came to be, this place is low-key iconic. First off, you can’t miss Independence Hall. This is where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed, so yeah, it’s a BIG deal. The building is super cool, and if you take the tour, you’ll feel the history just hit different. Right next to it, you’ll find the Liberty Bell, which is kinda like America’s flex — a symbol of freedom and independence that still rings through the ages. Another cool stop is Congress Hall, where the U.S. Congress used to meet back in the day, and it’s still got that old-school charm. Also, the Betsy Ross House is where she sewed the first American flag (legendary). You can explore the whole area, and it feels like you’re stepping into a history book, but, like, in real life. There’s more than just the big landmarks. The park itself is pretty chill, with nice spots to walk around and take it all in. The whole vibe is super educational, but it doesn’t feel too formal or boring. There’s also a bunch of museums and smaller exhibits around, so it’s easy to spend a good few hours here and still not see everything. Overall, Independence National Historical Park is the perfect blend of fun and learning. It’s got that historical glow-up, and you’re not just reading about it — you’re living it. Highly recommend hitting this spot if you’re in Philly!
