The Six, Close Up
In short: the Liberty Bell has no ticket. The Liberty Bell Center is free and first come, first served, so none of the six GetYourGuide products below is needed to see the bell. Two are guided walks by day, one is an evening walk, one is a hop-on hop-off bus, one is a day trip from New York and one is museum admission a few blocks from the bell. Each listing states free cancellation up to 24 hours before for a full refund.
Two guided walks by day
The Revolution and Founders history tour lasts 2 hours on foot in English and meets outside the Market Street doors of the Independence Visitor Center, at 6th and Market. Its listing names the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, and it is the one product of the six whose listing includes Independence Hall timed tickets. It is listed as wheelchair accessible.
The History, Highlights & Revolution walking tour lasts 2.5 hours on foot in English and meets at the Signer statue in Signer’s Garden. Its listed route includes a stop at the Liberty Bell and enters the Museum of the American Revolution for a live demonstration. It is listed as wheelchair accessible.
A bus, a day trip and a museum
The hop-on hop-off bus sells a ticket valid 1, 2 or 3 days and starts at the Philadelphia Bourse, 111 S Independence Mall E. The Liberty Bell is one of its 26 listed stops; going inside is up to the rider. The listing states that it is not suitable for wheelchair users.
The day trip from New York lasts 15 hours and begins at 5:00 a.m. in the Times Square area. Its itinerary gives 20 minutes to the Liberty Bell; the rest of the day is mostly Washington, D.C. The listing states that it is not suitable for wheelchair users.
Museum of the American Revolution entry is admission valid for 2 consecutive days at 101 South 3rd Street, a few blocks east of the bell. The listing advises planning 3 or more hours and marks it as wheelchair accessible.
One walk after dark
The ghost tour by candlelight lasts about 90 minutes on foot in the evening and meets at Signers Garden, 5th & Chestnut Streets. It passes through Independence National Historical Park, but its listing does not mention the Liberty Bell. It is listed as wheelchair accessible and appropriate for all ages.
