I have visited Independence Hall twice...pre-9/11 and post-9/11. Pre-9/11 gave tourists a lot more freedom to come and go as they pleased (for instance...you didn't HAVE to take a tour OR have tickets if you wanted to mill around inside). Post-9/11 you are only allowed to enter through one building, where you are searched. Then you have ...

Walking around the grounds and into Indepedence Hall, listening to the narrations from the knowledgeable park rangers, was truly a time-warp experience for me, back into the 18th century when the USA was "borned". A definite must-see for all who appreciates history, especially on the events leading up to the birth of the nation. ...

Independence Hall is one of the most awesome sights in Philly. If you have any sense of imagination you can "see" the key players in the founding of our country discussing the ideals on which America would be formed. Who knows you may be standing where George Washington and Thomas Jefferson stood? It is simply amazing!

The Park rangers do a fantastic job in leading the the tour thru Independence Hall. They offer many interesting and fun stories & facts about the creation of the Declaration of Independence. All the rights & liberties we enjoys as Americans today were created here!

One of the major tourist attractions of the city, with huge historical significance. This is the place where our nation began. It is definitely worth seeing for yourself the place described in every history textbook you've read since kindergarten. Check it out.

Just being in the building where the founding fathers were drafting the rules our nation would later argue about, fight for, and ultimately thrive under...wow! Great guide also.

Anyone interested in our nation's history, old buildings, and seeing the cradle of liberty must see this place.

I liked the feeling I had when inside. Imagine, step into the chamber where the system of government under which we live was born.
Close your eyes and see the great men of government arguing for a new way of life.
Then realize that this way of life is here, and it works, and is sometimes screwed-up, but it is a model for many others since, and hopefuly for the future.

I love walking through Independence Hall thinking of those men who put their lives and fortunes on the line for American liberty. I also like to stroll around the grounds which are so well kept. The park rangers in charge of the location are friendly and knowledgeable.

loved the atmosphere, the friendly people the ambiunce everything about philli is great will def go there again and again. I can't wait to go again
