A:
We stayed at the Kimpton Hotel that is literally across the street from Independence Hall. We used valet.

The answer is right there on the Independence National Historical Park website: Parking may be available (fee applies) at the Philadelphia Parking Authority's AutoPark at Independence Mall, an underground garage located directly below the Independence Visitor Center. Entrances to the garage are available on both 5th and 6th Streets, between Market and Arch Streets. The GPS address for the AutoPark at Independence Mall is 41 N. 6th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106. There is also an AutoPark at Olde City garage (fee applies) on 2nd Street between Chestnut and Walnut Streets.
Can you go into Independence Hall to see the Liberty Bell without participating in the tour? A couple of us just want to see the bell without doing the tour because our son has autism and it's too hard for him to go on a tour. Thanks!
A:
Yes. You can go to the Liberty Bell at no cost, no tickets required. It’s separate so you can see it solo.
