This is a must see when visiting Philadelphia!!! - This is definitely not one of your old, tired, worn out museum! This is a fresh, new & modern museum with a great design. The displays are amazing with many interactive components that make the tour even more benefits & thought provoking. We did the early access tour first & this provides you with a great introduction to what the Museum has to offer. You then have the opportunity for a deeper dive into your favorite exhibits.

Great way to experience the museum - I booked this tour because we have younger kids (2, 7, 10), and I thought they would find a tour to be more interesting than going through the museum on our own. I was right! We lucked out and we were the only people on the tour. Our tour guide did an amazing job showing us the highlights of the museum and explaining concepts in a way our kids could understand. All of us really enjoyed the tour and saw almost the entire museum within the hour. It was a great use of time, and all of us learned so much.

Great Place to Visit - Very well organized museum with plenty of interesting exhibits and artifacts! I signed up for the tour, which was a little over an hour and was excellent. The multimedia presentations, including the presentation of Washington’s tent, was very well done. They even had an actor portraying a soldier who really did an excellent job of putting it all in perspective. Overall a wonderful experience!

Best museum in Philly! - This was the best museum of our trip in Philly. Very well put together and it had a great way of drawing you into the various exhibits.
We took the gallery highlights tour. Andy was excellent. He was very welcoming and extremely informative. He explained the history in a very fun and engaging way.
I'd highly recommend that you take this tour. We'd have missed a lot if we didn't do this. Also pretty cool to see George Washington's real tent!

Museum Must - Excellent guide. Moved us through at a nice pace with wonderful information. We didn't feel like we were being bombarded with too many dates and facts and figures. Clean facility.

Terrific! - Was so nice to go in before the crowds- and it did get crowded. The museum is very well done. Of course seeing George Washington’s tent was thrilling! What a treat.

Bravo! Must See Museum - Spectacular! Relatively new museum. Treats American History as a worthy subject. Makes clear that progress was not complete with the Revolution, but doesn’t apologize about our Founders. Turns out Washington is still a hero, not someone to be rejected.

Great Visit - Having time in the museum before the crowds was great. Also our guide did a fantastic job of engaging the children. Do not miss the George Washington presentation.

Very disappointed - To be honest, I was under-whelmed. I'm lifelong resident of Southern New Jersey and a historian.
I could find no (zero) reference to the battles of Red Bank, Fort Mercer and Fort Mifflin. These were very important battles that seem to have been missed by this "museum." There was also no reference to the battle of Turtle Gut Inlet which was the largest sea battle during the Revolution. The museum paints John Paul Jones as a pirate and downplays the role played by George Washington; after all he was nothing but a wealthy slave owner. I understand the focus on diversity, but seriously, this museum completely misses the mark. Nice building though and very nice bathroom. I like the lockers.

Guide never showed - Was confirmed on the Viator app. Waited 20 mins and still no one showed. Couldn’t even get into museum yet since this time is “early” and before it officially opens. Hope I get a refund. Haven’t heard from the guide.
