Think about bringing your own snacks and water. There's food around, but it can get pricey, and sitting in the park to eat your own stuff feels way nicer.

I suggest getting to the park right at 9 AM when it opens. The crowds are way lighter, and you can snag some great photos in front of Independence Hall without all the other tourists bumping into you.

My advice is to grab the audio guide when touring Independence Hall. It adds so much context to what you're seeing. Just make sure to return it on time; I almost forgot and faced a penalty!

Here's a pro tip: check out the free ranger-led tours. They’re super informative and you really get a lot from them without having to pay extra. Don't miss out!

for a nice view, climb the steps to the surrounding benches. it's a chill spot to relax and people-watch, especially later in the day around 5 pm.

I suggest wearing comfy shoes. There are some nice spots to walk around, and you might end up exploring more than just the park!

If you're planning to take photos, try to visit around 8 am. The morning light is perfect, and the park is way less crowded then!

Bring a blanket to chill on the grass! There are plenty of spots to lay down and relax. I wish I had done that since benches were always occupied.

Check out the free events they host in the park, like yoga or movie nights. I stumbled onto a movie night that was a huge plus for my experience!

The fountains are super fun, especially in summer, but they can get crowded. My advice is to visit on a weekday to dodge the rush and really enjoy the vibe.

Check the schedule for food vendors before you go, as some days have better options than others. I found some great snacks, but they had different offerings on another visit!

Don’t forget a blanket if you plan to relax on the lawn! I saw a lot of people lounging around, and it’s got a nice vibe to just chill out in the sun.

If you want to save on parking, look for spots a little further away and walk. I found some free street parking just a few blocks away and it was a nice stroll along the river.

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes – the trails can get pretty rugged, and trust me, your feet will thank you after a long hike.

I recommend bringing your own snacks and water because the park doesn’t have many food options, and you’ll want to refuel for all that exploring!

I suggest getting there as early as 8 AM to enjoy the quiet peacefulness before the crowds show up. It’s totally worth it for those stunning morning views!

I suggest checking out the Visitor Center first for any last-minute info or tips from the staff – they’re super helpful and can guide you to the best spots

I recommend checking out the park's event calendar before your visit; you might catch a free concert or outdoor movie screening!

My advice is to rent a bike if you can; it covers more ground and you can explore the hidden gems within the park much faster than walking.
