My first trip to Philly in July. The Liberty Bell was fantastic!! The security line wasn't that bad and it's worth it to keep our bell safe. Beautiful new building for the bell and a beautiful, clean city!! I highly recommend a visit to this historical city!!!

The liberty bell is one of the city's most famous attractions, and it has huge historical significance. So if you're in the city, why not stop by and see the bell. It doesn't take much time, but it's worth seeing.

Liberty Bell

I enjoyes eeing the liberty bell after I have heard about all of my life. The atmosphere is not the because of its location but I can undertsand why its there. That would be because the liberty bell was in Philadelphia originally. I would pay money for just so my kids can go and see it.

Philadelphia is a spectacular city with lights, glamour, and action. Home ouf our Independence. Its is excessible by major airlines from all over the world.
I was first taken to Phila. as a child to see an aunt and uncle who knew I loved to ride the subway. My uncle took me to see this wonder of history and I will always remember it.
it was pretty boring for me and my family. we had to walk thru a building, get checked, metal detected, then we had to walk across a yard on a hot sunny day in philly, my family ended up walking by all the artifacts and stuff, they were so excited to see the bell, and there it was. you couldn't even read it. i was pretty dissapointed. not a place to bring the kids, really.
I had always learned and heard about the Liberty Bell in the social studies courses in grade school. When I went to Philly to see the Bell I wasn't as impressed. It wasn't all that it was hyped-up to be. Still it's something interesting to see and it's also something where if it ever comes up in conversation with someone, you can say that you've seen it.
This was so much differant than I expected. The Bell was in a building that was very roomy. I like the fact that I touche the Bell even though you are not supposed to.
