The bourse is not only a historical building , but it also has a beautiful lobby. It is surrounded by tourism , and historical viewpoints, such as independence hall & the constitution center.

Destination Philly and Making History have the best priced and most original souvenirs in the area!

Cool place to stop for quick meal and a drink. Distillery and craft beer locations inside

MyFixitUpLife

Lots of souvenir shops and quick bites lining this breath-taking building. Architecture lovers... the interior is a must-see.

Dan

It's basically a mall food court . Stop in to grab a drink while walking around Independence Hall . There are far better places to eat in Old City !

James Gerber

Upscale food court

Philadelphia cafe is great! Fresh fruit and veggies and you can still get a Philly cheese stake.

Really cool new food hall

Mike Littler

Food great with lots of choice. Rest rooms a disgrace. Cubicles tiny.

Courtney Johnson

Everything is way to overpriced!!! Try to find good deals if you come here.

Dale Rogers

Bathrooms are nasty but if you gotta go, there are a pair downstairs.

Robert Evans

Get out of the heat here!

Leonard Hanson

Very touristy . Better places nearby if you're prepared to walk. But convenient if you're not.

Matthew Mcnamew

Visit Making History for your keepsakes! Ben Franklin qoutes!

LoriPA

There's always a line , but the cheesesteaks here are not that great. Try the Mexican or salad stands instead.

Alex Murphy

Bathrooms are inconveniently located on the lower level.

Barbara

Almost empty now. Big disappointment.
