Independence Visitor Center (Philadelphia)

This by all means should be your first stop as you explore the old city of Philadelphia. It's also the place you'll need to pick up your tickets if you planned ahead and booked your tour of Independence Hall.  If you are like a lot of folks who just do things on the fly, you can also purchase tickets here for not only the tour of Independence Hall but for a variety of other cool stuff to see within a few blocks of this very historic part of town.

Feel free to ask the rangers any questions you have and get a copy of their map so you can plan your route to check out all the things you want to see. Make sure you check out the awesome displays and the fabulous gift shop. We missed it in our excitement to see everything else and I'm still kicking myself.
