So glad we went. While it was only a 20 minute "tour", it was well worth it! The guide was very knowledgeable and professional. You do have to obtain a ticket with an assigned time for the tour on… Full review by SueLovesDuke

Twenty minute tour of the rooms where US history was made. Free but reservations needed. We got reservations 2 days in advance but that day all tours were sold out. Mildly interesting for kids 5 a… Full review by flo220
Is there an area of town that you'd recommend that has hotels and is near public transportation for easy access to Independence Hall? Or perhaps any parking garages or lots that have cheaper parking to catch a ride from...?
A:
Not really. It's pretty central. You can easily walk from a city centre hotel to it.
Hi, how long does it take to line up and pass through the security screening before entering the Independence Hall? can I bring food and plastic water bottle inside the backpack? (( won't eat them during the tour, but want to know if we can bring food and water ), thanks.

Robert gave you the straight stuff. There are several close. I personally used the Autopark at Olde City garage. Do not believe you will find any free parking close by. However there is a SEPTA station close if you park elsewhere and come in by public transportation. Also, city tour buses (double decker commercial), start and stop at Independence NHP, so if you want to see more of the city with a "hop on, hop off" tour, you can include your visit in that.
Can you go into Independence Hall to see the Liberty Bell without participating in the tour? A couple of us just want to see the bell without doing the tour because our son has autism and it's too hard for him to go on a tour. Thanks!
A:
Yes. You can go to the Liberty Bell at no cost, no tickets required. It’s separate so you can see it solo.
