Independence Hall

Every time my school had a field trip to Independence Hall, it was closed. Cool to check back and see it is still around, would be great to visit when it’s actually open for a change!

If you like history, make the time to stop here while you are in the area.
The replica of the Liberty Bell itself is worth the stop in. The rest of the replicas they have are supposed to be similar to the ones in the real Independence Hall in PA.
Very interesting to see and learn a little bit more about history during the late 1700’s.
It does close early (By 4 I believe) so plan to stop in early or maybe take a break from the park and head over.

I have LOVED this place since I was a kid, a beautiful replica, I love the staff, always very friendly and very knowledgeable. There is a beautiful picnic areas and nice spots to sit and watch the ducks. Recommend for all ages!

I’m sure not much people will review this as well as what Charlissa said not getting much foot traffic (cause most people are either shopping across the street or at the amusement park itself) but a review is a review.
The replica of Independence Hall. This place is neat, but I’m sure the inside doesn’t really look like that. I was on the outside here a few days ago but checked out the inside a few years back.
Gotta love to see the replicas of different things like the Liberty Bell. Let Freedom Ring!!!
I don’t know what else to say about a replica history building.
On the outside though there is a pretty pond and a little park that you can stroll around. There are also chickens that roam. They could be tomorrow’s fried chicken special that they serve across the street!!!
This is a good spot for the SVT Mustang Cobras that the Fabulous Fords Forever organizers usually park the Mustang Cobra owners at. 2014 not so much as that parked the Cobras at the front of the show.
This place is open on Sundays.

Independence Hall in Philadelphia is considered the birthplace of America. Built between 1732 and 1756. The Declaration of Independence (1776) and the U.S. Constitution (1787) were signed here and the design of the American flag was agreed upon (1777) in this building.
Independence Hall is important to American history, significant documents were drafted and debated here that formed the democracy of the United States.
Today, the national historic landmark is open to the public for free tours by reservation. Tour tickets can be reserved in advance at 1−877−444−6777.
If you’re unable to travel to Philadelphia, there’s an Independence Hall in Buena Park, CA. Walter Knott, founder of Knott’s Berry Farm, built an exact brick-​by-​brick replica of the original. Opened July 4 1966, complete with a 2,075 pound Liberty bell weighing only 5 lbs less than the original.
An avid supporter of American history and values, Walter Knott constructed the building for the millions of west coast families unable to travel to Philadelphia to see the original. Consistent with his wishes, Knott’s Independence Hall will always be free admission. Open 10 am to 5 pm everyday.
It’s a California treasure worthy of a visit. You might even see George Washington the duck.

They are starting to let it run down but still a nice place to hang out for a few minutes. I wish they would spend money here instead of roller coasters that can not function properly!

This is an excellent place to go to learn about the early history of the United States if you live on the West coast. This is an exact replica of Independence Hall in Philadelphia.
I first visited Independence Hall back in high school for community service credit and immediately fell in love.
This place doesn’t have too much foot traffic but it’s always a nice place to visit especially if you have some extra time before or after your visit to Knott’s Berry Farm which happens to be located right across the street.
Once they’re open they have their large doors spread wide for anyone to come through. Upon coming in the entrance you’re greeted by a replica of the liberty bell and can hear about it if you press a button. On the right is a large and dark room with bench seating that plays an audio recording of what it may have sounded like when the U.S. was deciding on declaring it’s independence from England. Once out of the room you can check out the gift shop, the assortment of flags that have been used at various times during our history as well as other historical artifacts found in glass cases surrounding the gift shop.
As a cute bonus you may also find a stray chicken or two in the building that wonder in from outside, but one of the little historically dressed women always manage to sweep them back outside.

Free to visit* Free parking for three hours if you park by the market place (Next to TGIF’s)*
Independence Hall replica with a Liberty bell replica too. I came here when I was little on a field trip, they have a store inside that doesn’t have very much to buy but has artifacts of the era.
Love coming here to unwind and look at antiques. There’s also a pond just outside of it with ducks, roosters and chickens with a few benches where you can sit and relax. There’s free parking if you park over by the marketplace area next to the TGIF’s but only for three hours. Still, enough time to go check it out, do the shops and maybe have dinner after.
Its hours are 10am-​4pm M-​F and weekends** Excellent to take kids on a learning field trip. If you ask the lady at the counter, she can turn on a recording in the room that’s the replica of the same room they signed the Declaration of Independence.
