- SueLovesDukeSouthern Pines, NC303 contributionsLocated right across the cobblestone street from Independence Hall. Very interesting.

- Warren HFleming Island, FL295 contributionsWe visited the old location for this museum and this was the first exposure to the new location within the city proper.

- Thomas CTaylor, PA186 contributionsWe were lucky enough to see this in all of its beauty last October. I heard they tore down some of it since the . It’s very sad. The place is a true one of a kind. So much craftsmanship and skill. Spend some time here it’s amazing.Written 12 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- molivosSalinas, CA24 contributionsI went on three consecutive days and did not see everything! I learned so much. The highlight is George Washington's tent.
I read online about the women's vote exhibit from a few years back and was disappointed that I learned about it had ended. I was so happy to see that there is a display on it, so I was able to see a part of it.
I have been to Philadelphia before and passed by the suseum but have never had the time to go inside. It is worthwhile, has plenty of places to sit, take breaks, and rest. There is also an on site restaurant.Written 15 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We parked in the covered lot across the street and just walked over. We got to the ticket gate (you are allowed a small bag to bring in), and they checked if we had an appropriate size bag and let us walk through security. No hassle, showed our tickets and got right in. We went in an hour prior to game time, which made it easier to get food, drinks, and get to our seats with the crowds. An usher did ask to see our tickets before we could go to our seats. You could see the field well and one screen to see replays. We were also lucky to get a couple of balls come our way.
There are no stairs to get into the stadium and plenty of room to maneuver a wheelchair or walker. There are ADA seating areas. The bathroom was clean, there were a lot of people so it wasn't the best.Written 5 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The Lego exhibit, we thought was very clever and interesting -- way more than playing with legos. The other exhibits which ranges from mazes to brains etc were also interesting and they had several demonstrations/shows -- one on liquid nitrogen and one on electricity -- as well as a planetarium show.
