Due to an unforeseen repair needed aboard Cruiser Olympia, the ship will be closed on Friday, December 9.

We’re all about water! Dive into River Alive!, a new exhibit that brings the wildlife, science, and wonder of the Delaware River up close.

Raise the sails on our pirate ship Diligence and submerge yourself in hands-on exhibits plus one of the largest maritime art and artifact collections in North America. Climb aboard National Historic Landmark ships Cruiser Olympia and Submarine Becuna. Paddle around in our seasonal small boat rentals.

Visit our Workshop on the Water and Makerspace to bring out your inner artisan. With so much to explore, Independence Seaport Museum is the premier, family-friendly destination on the Penn’s Landing waterfront.

Our expanded operating schedule will be:

Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays: 10:00am – 5:00pm
Sundays: 12:00pm – 5:00pm

Additionally, Independence Seaport Museum has moved to a time ticketing system, where a limited number of tickets will be sold every half hour.

We will make every attempt to accommodate guests in a timely fashion.
