The National Constitution Center

My favorite museum in Philadelphia is the Constitution Center. Not only is this museum informative, but it is also TONS OF FUN! Their exhibits are very interactive and hands on, you can try on robes that the Supreme Court justices wear, take the presidential oath of office and push buttons to watch videos of historic moments in history. They also have a very heartfelt performance piece that they show in the theater called “Freedom Rising” and you can not leave this museum without stopping to view a showing… the first time I saw it, it brought a tear to my eye.

Additionally, they have really cool traveling exhibits that they host for limited amounts of time. Most recently, they had an exhibit that they brought in entitled “Baseball in America” with items from the Baseball Hall of Fame and another one called “The Road to the White House” with different historical items from past presidential elections. Unfortunately, this museum is a little bit expensive, but it is definitely well worth it!
