4.0 of 5 stars. Although the admission into the Constitution Center is hefty ($12 I believe), it was a great tour. It starts with a live "show" in the Kimmel Theater. An actor does a great job giving a history...

5.0 of 5 stars. I feel like this is a place every American should visit, but most adult Philadelphians haven't, because they "did all that historical stuff when they were kids". I hope they reconsider. First of all...

5.0 of 5 stars. Any place that can remove my cynicism about our country and make me get all gushy inside about being an American deserves five stars. The video paired with the woman presenter in the introduction is...
