Between 10:40 am and 4:20 pm, admission to Independence Hall is by guided tour only. Timed entry tickets are required. These tickets eliminate the long wait for Independence Hall tours and give you more time to see the other historic sites in the area.

*From 9 am–10:30 am, Open house (no tickets required)

  • During this time, the Independence Hall experience is self-guided. Park rangers will be available to answer questions.
  • All non-ticketed visitors must exit the building at 10:30 am.
  • Plan to arrive early—due to building capacity limitations, not all visitors are guaranteed entry.

No tickets are required from December 24 thru January 31 (except the expanded tour at 3:15 pm).

The security screening area closes 15 minutes prior to the building closure time, or earlier if all tours are full.
