We brought our 5,3, and 1.5 year old here and had a great time. A lot of the experience went over their head but the oldest walked away with little nuggets of knowledge. The best part for them was the signers statues. There is a deep feeling of kinship and appreciation towards these men who risked e...

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 gr...

The show was pretty clever and informative. The exhibits were also very educational without being overwhelming. Definitely worth stopping in to get a little history lesson/ brush up on the history of this nation. Some interactive exhibits to help those that need something to touch!

The walls are blue for good reason. There's certainly a bias as far as the telling of history - including the emphasis on certain points.

One volunteer, George, engaged visitors and asked them their opinion of the sitting president. When one guest said that she felt he was doing a good job, Geo...

This is one of the best museums I've ever been to! It's very engaging and really gives you insight into how our constitution was not only formed but how it has evolved as a living document with its people.

I guess the other reviewers who found it boring or only spent 30 minutes there didn't go th...

Especially loved the room with the signers of the Constitution. Can walk right up to Ben Franklin and look him in the eyes. Touch the hands of the signers. Look at the lines in their hands. Stand right next to George Washington's statue and marvel at his height. It is a very powerful place that...

I was very please during my visit to the National Constitution Center in early 2011. The staff was very courteous and enthusiastic of all the areas of the museum. This is an emotional place and I was moved by all the great history of our country and all the sacrifice of people. I loved the display o...

We took the kids to the National Constitution Center on election day. Great way to teach them about the history of the United States through the ages. There were additional activities for the children, including face painting. Highly recommended for families with older children, as little ones will...

The National Constitution Center is an absolute must-see for anyone visiting Philadelphia. The live show, "Freedom Rising", was outstanding, as was the recounting of America's history through billboards, pictures, and interactive games on the upper level. I will definitely go back next time I'm in P...

Great. Recommend. I still have my mini folding constitution. Be sure to get more than one so you don't have to pay $2.95 to have one shipped to you. I know, it is stupid how you have to pay to get to document that America is based on.
