Q:
Can you go into Independence Hall to see the Liberty Bell without participating in the tour? A couple of us just want to see the bell without doing the tour because our son has autism and it's too hard for him to go on a tour. Thanks!
A:
Yes. You can go to the Liberty Bell at no cost, no tickets required. It’s separate so you can see it solo.
Q:
