I spent about 6 hours at the center and saw nearly everything. I spoke with 2 highly educated museum staff members, Matthew and Bill, and they were of incredible assistance. They knew their history. The one man live show was the first I have ever seen of its kind. My favorite part was signers hall. To look at these men as they would appear in 1776, their physical characteristics and their demeanor, is great. It really helps give you a sense of who they are. There are several interactive displays. The museum layout is practical. Staff is great. Special exhibit of Chief Justice John Marshall was excellent as well. Matthew and Bill both helped me learn a lot about Marshall and the several other questions I had. Overall it was a great experience.
They have a great live performance, which walks viewers through the history of the Constitution and what led to its creation. After this, you get to wander as long as you like through interactive screens detailing the life of people through US history. It's very informative, very interesting, and great for children. There are also a lot of opportunities for photos. My personal favorite was seeing who could vote and who couldn't throughout history, which could be done through touchscreens mounted on the walls.
I work in Center City and park here when I don't take the train It is safe, secure, well lit, clean garage with entrance on Race street which is rear of facility. contrary to other posts I find this to be a LEFT leaning place based upon the election and the topics, events hosted, invited speakers, and it is in one of the farthest LEFT cities in the country. politics aside this is convenient and interesting place that is easier and more affordable than most all others in Center City. ENJOY, and be sure to tour the US Mint for FREE across the street. weekdays only 9-4 with Saturdays available between Memorial and Labor Day
Very knowledgeable staff and a very educational location to check out. Unfortunately with our forefathers can see what our nations turned into be rolling over in their graves
They have an expansive selection of different exhibits that give a depiction of the days of the United States of America's infancy all the way to present day . I highly recommend the John F. Kennedy exhibit and the ones about the Civil War .
