Franklin Court

This is a fun free activity for tourists staffed by the National Parks Service. The staff puts on a great demonstration, in fun costumes, with an old-fashioned printing press. Overall, I highly recommend it for any tourists in Philadelphia.

This was a bit anticlimactic. Not really much to see and no explanations of some things. I really wouldn't go out of my way to see this like we did in the heat walking there. Waste of time to be honest.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entryFree

I’ve always liked Franklin Court. I grew up going often. I hadn’t been there since their renovations a few years back. I must say I was disappointed. While I realize that the place was in need of updating, I was disappointed that the place in my opinion, has lost its family friendliness. It used to be such a fun, exciting, colorful, and hugely interactive place to visit. I miss the movie, the “show” with the little figures, the large kid-friendly exhibit, the music and sounds. Now, even with the $5.00 entrance fee, it seems like it’s a very quiet place for old folks. I don’t think it seems fun for kids anymore. Throughout the years I used to love taking young kids there as I was also taken there as a young child but I believe I’ve seen my last visit.

“all information about city at one place” - stop by... get refreshed... they have reception where you can all information about city/tours/guides/hotels. you can buy the tickets, book hotels, rent a bike. They have a gift shop and they keep some really fascinating item and yes, they have rocky balboa. ;

Very inspiring, there are many interesting facts and expositions, I loved to see Glass Armonika, printing devices at that time, quotes and little stories. engravings in Franklin Court

Love Old City charm. World Heritage City notable. Happy to see historic preservation of Franklin post office.

Amazing museum and interpretive signs in the exact location of Ben Franklin’s home.

Historical landmark I highly recommend you do this on your trip to Philly

Really cool place to see a variety of sites pertaining to Benjamin Franklin. Be sure to plan on spending some time here, there’s a lot to do!

It's a shame that the original house isn't still there. But this is the nicest way to show what was there. Very pretty. One of my favorite spots in Philly.
