From the Museum of the American Revolution to the Art Museum and the wonderfully odd Museum of Illusions, this is how to get in without the ticket-window shuffle. Best first below: the passes and timed tickets worth buying, what each one covers, how many attractions it takes to pay off a city pass, and where to skip the line.
Timed entry to Philadelphia’s Museum of Illusions with 60+ sensory exhibits, photo ops, and a Smart Playroom—fun for families.
“It was great. It was smaller than what I expected however I don’t feel like that’s a bad thing. Some of the activities do make you feel really dizzy. There are signs that specifically tell you that and to take a minute if you have to.”
Two days at the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia with skip-the-line entry and optional audio wand for $25.

Skip-line 2-day ticket to the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia, with Revolution film and Washington’s War Tent feature.
“Very informative and educational. I liked that we had the option of visiting two separate days. Unfortunately, we only had one day to spend there. Splitting it up into two days would have been nice.”

“The guides were great and informative. It was pretty disappointing that they didn't stop by the ferry. So we didn't get To Do the ferry or the battleship.. I can't remember the reason they gave but it was disappointing..”

Tour Philadelphia’s Independence Seaport Museum to see Cruiser Olympia and Submarine Becuna, plus hands-on exhibits and a working boat shop.
“It was so so awesome!!! My son and I came to visit the ‘boat’.... Submarines are never called ships. They are boats...... USS Bacuna. My Dad was ‘Cookie’ on the boat during WWII. The Host and his volunteer partner were very very kind to us. They made the boat come alive. What a wonderful experience. Thank you Independence seaport Museum.”

“Was not worth it. Hardly used it. Wouldn't recommend.”
A 2.5-hour Independence Mall walk through Philly’s founding stories, with included visits to Christ Church and its Burial Ground.
“Please let me clarify that our guide was lovely - it was the tour itself that was poor. We started at the Betsy Ross house as the meeting point. We looked at the outside, were told it wasn't included and so we walked to Christ Church. When we arrived we were told they weren't open yet but we could come back later if we wanted. Same thing with the Benjamin Franklin cemetary. We eventually made our way to Independence Hall to find out that we needed a reservation through the National Parks office. It was 12:30pm and all time slots were sold out for the day. I essentially paid $90…”
Get into Philadelphia’s Museum of the American Revolution early with a small-group guided tour and skip-the-line entry, capped at 14.
“It was so nice having access to the Museum before it opened to the public. My guide was very knowledgeable and it was like getting a refresher course on the history of the Revolutionary War. I was fortunate to have a private tour. The entire staff at the Museum was so friendly. Highly recommend this tour for any age.”
