Insider Pages Reviews for Independence Seaport Museum

Very interesting and hands-on

by H K. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 3,582

The Independence Seaport Museum is located at Penns Landing and explains the seatports and the history of this in relation to Philadelphia. If you are looking for an educational, entertaining and historical attraction to visit than the Seaport Museum is for you. There are a number of great resteraunts in walking distance and the view over the waterfront is just absolutely spectacular. I have taken friends here that have been interested in seeing the ships and the role of the seaport with regards to the history of Philadelphia. A quick ride by cab and my experience is that it has rarely been crowded.

PROS: Fabulous historical site, great for visitors
CONS:
