Hi, Nancy. There is convenient, onsite parking available at the AutoPark at Independence Mall, a 24-hour fully enclosed and secure parking garage operated by the Philadelphia Parking Authority, and located underneath the Independence Visitor Center.

Can I deposit my luggages at the station?

5 yrs ago, I was so shocked to meet a very racist female staff with short hair at the counter helping tourists. We were decent, neat,well employed n affluent middle aged ethnic Chinese visitors. She's very racist, rude n impolite; is she still there?

Hi, Joanne. We are very sorry to hear about your experience. We are dedicated to providing a friendly welcome to every person who starts their visit with us, and employ Visitor Services staff who are fluent in eleven languages in an effort to be inclusive and speak with as many visitors as possible in their own language. If you were able to provide a more specific description, date, or name, we could investigate this concern further. However, there is no one fitting your description who currently works here.

For visiting in June, how early should we get to Independence Visitor Center for tickets for Independence Hall tours if we want to be near the front of the queue when the visitor center opens? Thanks.

Chad Yoneda | Sep 28, 2019

It depends on when exactly you plan to visit in June. Around the Memorial Day weekend at the beginning of the month, we are very busy. This is also true toward the end of the month, when July 4th week festivities begin to ramp up. In mid-month, when children are still in school, weekdays are not too busy. At the busiest periods, it is best to make an advance reservation online for a $1 fee to guarantee you will be able to tour on your selected day. During other times, arriving just prior to when our doors open at 8:30 a.m. should be good.

Not sure what you're referring to but Old City is very safe, especially if you act appropriately (don't leave valuables in sight, lock car, pay attention to surroundings and traffic) as with any other area. It's a well trafficked area with a lot of people, police, lighting etc
