Great docent-led tour of the hall. Also nice exhibit of founding documents with helpful docent there as well. The building is impressive but the thrilling story of the founding well-told by a skilled…Full review by Julie M
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:
We stayed at the Kimpton Hotel that is literally across the street from Independence Hall. We used valet.
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 the Liberty Bell isn't inside Independence Hall; it's in a separate building across the street that doesn't cost or require tickets. The tour is of Independence Hall only.
