The National Constitution Center

If you are into politics or would like to learn more about the election process, head to the National Constitution Center before March 31st for reduced admission. P.S. There’s a seat waiting for you in the Oval Office. It’s the perfect presidential photo opp!
Liberty Bell Center
If you live in Philadelphia, you must visit the one attraction that people travel from around the world to see. The Liberty Bell is a symbol of American freedom and can be found on the corner of 6th and Chestnut Streets in Old City. The Bell can be seen from both inside and outside of the Independence National Historical Park, lending you the chance to skip the line and see the symbol from the outside. The center is open 9am until 5pm, year round.
