10 Reasons Why Your Family Needs to Visit the National Constitution Center

I recently had the chance to visit the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia with my family. What a great place you need to check out with your family this summer. Here's why:

10 Reasons Why Your Family Needs to Visit the National Constitution Center

• Learning comes alive for children when they can see it, hear it, and feel it. Before they return to the classroom, get them into the National Constitution Center where they can learn about George Washington and the Constitution through interactive exhibits.

• Add your John Hancock to the Constitution. Wouldn't you like to sign in too?

• What would Ben Franklin be like as a grandpa? Have your children sit on his lap to find out.

• Want to be president someday? You can practice by taking the oath of office.

• Pretend to be a spy with decoders, invisible ink and other spy tools. Uncover stories of espionage, treason, and deception in the Spies, Traitors & Saboteurs exhibit.

• Were George Washington's teeth really made out of wood? Could you pass a quiz on George Washington trivia?  Find out in the Discover the Real George Washington exhibit.

• How would you rule on the important Supreme Court cases of today? Put on Justice O' Connor's robe, take a seat at the bench, and decide for yourself.

• It will engage your senses. With 2.5 floors of exhibits, there is plenty for you to see, hear, and touch at the National Constitution Center.

• Want to shoot a canon? Not only did my son get to shoot off a canon, he got to keep the cannon ball too. (It's now his favorite t-shirt.)

• It's FREE. Kids are FREE all summer long at the National Constitution Center. Adults are $12 - $16.50 each depending on how many exhibits you want to see. Up to 4 FREE children can be admitted with one paying adult.

Oops, I've got one more for you. :) As the owner of Jersey Family Fun, I also have a special coupon for you.  Print out the picture coupon and each adult can save $3 off their admission.

So go check it out and then come back here and tell us your reason for visiting.
