A complete visitor center
First things first, the visitor center has public toilets (essential information!). But generally it has everything you might need to learn more about Philadelphia: brochures on museums and other attractions, maps, and also the odd souvenir for sale. This is also where you have to get a ticket to gain entry to the building of independence / constitution (admission is free but seating is limited, thus you need a ticket - go early in the morning to avoid missing out!). The center also has a lounge where you can watch a short film on about independence (in English, unfortunately for those who do not speak that language!).
Located in Independence National Park, the visitor center is adjacent to a cute outdoor cafe open during the summer, and wide spaces of grass.
