The Ritz-CarltonMarch 11, 2015This site was established on July 4, 2003 and is devoted to the United States Constitution and its legacy. "Freedom Rising" is one its exhibitions; a 17-minute multimedia story about the Constitution.
HISTORYJune 19, 2012The museum, which opened in 2003, has hosted political debates and speeches, including then-presidential candidate Barack Obama’s historic address on race in March 2008.
Upvoted Sep 28- Emily M-ODecember 27, 2012The audio tour is more like a video tour--not worth the $5 because it's hard to even find someplace quiet enough to watch a bunch of 4min videos. Prohibition exhibit (through 6/13) is great!Upvoted Sep 19
Jéssica DutraAugust 13, 2015Best phrase in the whole museum: "yes, there may be problems with freedom, but the solution has never been to take freedom away". This museum is absolutely amazing, I wish to come back ASAP!Upvoted Sep 19
Pa McGillinOctober 15, 2012Check out "American Spirits: The Rise & Fall of Prohibition." During prohibition, Ma McGillin's shackled the front door of McGillin's. The bar survived by letting patrons in the side door for "tea."
Thomas GloyOctober 25, 2016Very interesting museum about the American constitutional history. Visit if you are ever close to Philadelphia.Upvoted Sep 19
Neill CaldwellAugust 26, 2013OMG, this is a great experience, from live actor kickoff to the Signers' Room, where you can walk among our Founding Fathers. Check out the temporary "1968" exhibit too.
Make sure you don't miss a visit with George Mason. Learn why he is so important and how his dissent led to the addition of the Bill of Rights.
James CApril 11, 2015It's a awesome interactive museum. Great for school trips. Teaches civics in a ton of great ways.- Keith HobinJune 20, 2021Try to get here at the top of the hour to watch the "Freedom Rising" performance to start your tour of the museum. The show is 💯
- Santi CaamañoJune 2, 2015Get to see the bill of rights, too bad no photos were allowed. I really loved the constitution signing statues, the scene is really well done.
Hoai V.January 18, 2014Make sure you start with the live show that's included with your ticket. It leads directly to the main exhibition. We did it backwards by mistake!
Richard RevillaJanuary 5, 2015The movie at the end is worth the whole visit alone. Great piece of history and appreciation of our liberties.
The PHLASH trolley runs Fri, Sat & Sun from 10-6 pm May-October 28, 2012. Just head to stops 2 or 18, buy a $2 ticket & you'll be on your way to seeing more of Philadelphia's attractions and museums. Read more
Rickina CSeptember 15, 2014I don't know why the admission price is so high but it's a nice place to see once.
Clementine MottolaJanuary 24, 2013Two squish penny machines. 8 designs total. You see them right outside of the gift shop as soon as you walk in!
Great museum with awesome exhibits. Check out Signer's Hall for the life size statue of the delegates. Just stay away from the café's cheesesteaks! Lol
NBC PoliticsJuly 19, 2012First Lady Michelle Obama held a Grassroots Event on June 6, 2012 where she spoke to local supporters and volunteers at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. http://NBCpolitics.com- Kate SavageMay 3, 2018The Constitution brought to life and into our lives. Amazing!! Hall of Signers fantastic.
WorldStridesApril 5, 2011The National Constitution Center has more than 100 interactive exhibits that engages students to think about the ways the Constitution has shaped American democracy.- Barack Obama delivered his memorable speech on race in March 2008 at the National Constitution Center, and Obama and Hillary Clinton debated here in April 2008 during the Democratic primary race.
A2SMAugust 8, 2011Fittingly based in the City of Brotherly Love and one of the birthplaces of our nation. This is a must see attraction
- Marie BNovember 5, 2011Okay, so it's not much for the money but seeing statues of the Constitution signers is pretty cool. Plus they do run special events that are worth it.
ToryBurchJune 25, 2013This center makes learning history interactive (and more interesting) for kids.
Make sure to log into the computer in the signers' room, you can get a certificate of you signing the Constitution! Not bad at all!
Michael CarrabineJanuary 5, 2013Admission is only $3 (yes, three dollars) if you have a Bank of America card!!!
Kim Taylor KnightAugust 22, 2011One of the most stirring presentations I have seen. And don't miss the quilts.
