I REALLY wanted to love this museum. We love history, but from a value standpoint, we were not impressed. For the good points, yes, it is new and well maintained, and staff are very friendly and enthusiastic. I think it may be more exciting for younger children and those not as familiar with the American Revolution. Also, I largely give the museum credit for highlighting lesser known figures (including women and blacks) that are often ignored for this period. However, that too, seemed a little forced at times. Yet, I found so much of the information to be very basic. Also, on the videos, many of the same talking points were recycled. I thought more than once, hadn’t I already been told this once or twice before?? Finally, perhaps we were overexpecting the Washington tent exhibit, since this is repeatedly overhyped by the museum and the reviews. You sit through a video (not bad, but not new if you had been in some of the other theaters) and then at the end the video screen is lifted and you see “the tent” – kindof. The lighting is subdued (and I understand why because of the age) and you are pretty far away from it, but I think seeing the tent in a book would have been more informative.** We seem to be in the minority on this one, so maybe it will excite you** The real stickler for us was the price. If admission was about $10/$15, I think we would be less grumpy about the experience, but $20+ just seemed a little out of balance for what you got. However, with all things considered, I’m sure most folks waste the admission price on a lot worse things, so if you get a little early American history in the process..that is worth something. Especially, now! Unfortunately, I see more and more people not appreciating the great gifts of liberty and our republic or understanding those gifts could be taken away by stooges following an aspiring tyrant : - )

Warmly greeted when we arrived. Saw the special exhibit “Flags and Founding Documents” we never realized there were so many “versions” of the flag. But our hands down favorite exhibit was “Washington’s War Tent” that was amazing to see!! All the exhibits were informative and interesting to see. Definitely recommend a stop here if you’re coming to Philadelphia to get your history on!
