Considered Philadelphia’s premier destination for groups, the National Constitution Center combines exhibitions, live performances, rare artifacts and hands-on activities to help visitors appreciate the Constitution as not just a document, but as the guiding principles of a nation.
Those educational components include the 17-minute multimedia theatrical performance, “Freedom Rising,” and the center’s dynamic, interactive main exhibit, “The Story of We the People.” However, your favorite activity may well be visiting Signers’ Hall, where you can place your name on the U.S. Constitution while standing alongside 42 life-size bronze statues of the Founding Fathers.
Insiders Tip: A special tour—Lurid Lives of the Founders—is offered exclusively to adult groups. Learn what Ben Franklin was up to when he wasn’t flying kites … and discover George Washington’s activities when he was away from Mount Vernon.
Groups of 15 or more receive discounted admission to the museum’s must-see exhibits and exclusive access to themed tours, packages and programs, as well as private evening tours reserved exclusively for them.
“A visit to the ‘Story of We the People’ provides groups a window into the nation’s past and what it means to be an American today, allowing visitors to be inspired and excited by our founding documents,” says Annie Stone, director of marketing and communications.
