March - December

TICKETS ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL TOURS OF INDEPENDENCE HALL !

For entrance into Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were signed, you must have a tour ticket with a specific day and time.

 

These tickets eliminate the long wait for Independence Hall tours and give you more time to see the other historic sites in the area. You need a ticket from March 1 to December 31, except for July 4th and Thanksgiving. Independence National Historical Park will be closed on Christmas Day.

Independence Hall Tickets are available for free on the morning of your visit at the Independence Visitor Center at 6th and Market Street starting at 8:30 AM.

The first tour starts at 9:00AM. You may request tickets for any available time, on the day of the visit. You have the greatest choice of times if you arrive between 8:30 and 10:30 AM. During the busy season, tickets are often gone by 1:00 PM.

One person may request up to ten (10) tickets for a family or small group. The rest of the family or group does not need to be present when the tickets are picked up.

For larger families, one person for each ten (10) people must come to pick up tickets. Everyone in the group needs a ticket, even infants.

Organized tours or school groups  may obtain tickets for their entire group once the group is in the Independence Visitor Center. Up to 80 tickets  will be given to one teacher or guide.  However, you must have confirmation letter on school or organization letterhead for ticket pick up.  

This letter must list the name of the person who made the reservation and the name of the person picking up the tickets.  Teachers may use a current school ID in lieu of the confirmation letter.  Tickets must be picked up at least 45 minutes before  the tour. While one person is in line for the tickets, we recommend that the rest of the group view the exhibits, see the movies, use the restrooms or visit the store.

Advance Ticket Information - Online and by phone.
