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:

Q:
When are the least busy dates to visit Eastern State Penitentiary?

My guess would be in the winter. Some of the tour is outside and some is inside but none of it is heated. I know I would not choose this time of year.
