Independence National Historical Park
143 South Third Street
Philadelphia, PA 19106
(215) 965-2305
map | website | comment

America’s most historic square mile — and smallest national park — Independence National Historical Park is home to such national landmarks as Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and the First Bank of the United States. Stop by the Independence Visitor Center at Sixth and Market Streets for free timed tickets to Independence Hall and ask about a Junior Ranger activity map. The grandchildren will have fun collecting stamps at various park sites (and learning along the way), as they earn an official Junior Ranger Badge.

Info: Free

Hours: Daily dawn to dusk

Age: Elementary (5-9), Tween (9-12), Teen (12+)
