Would have been cool to see inside but you literally have to pay money to see EVERY. SINGLE. Historic thing/place in this town. Was very frustrating. Looked neat though and took a couple photos from the outside. Shoutout to Betsy herself for making our Flag.

Great, quick visit! Student discount and military were nice gestures. Very informative. Wish there would be an audio tour alternative like a phone call or app during COVID. The gift shop has some great stuff.

It is mostly self guided but there is some one at the start that tells you a breif history of the house. But then you are on your own seeing the house after you see the house you come out to another person that tells you the story of one of the paintings on the wall. Really cool place keep up the good work.

It is a great place to visit!! Anyone who loves American history will be fascinated with this beautiful museum inside and outside, it’s very educational. The house looks amazing decorated with the original American flags. It is located in a beautiful area with a lot great things to see, do and a variety places to eat. Definitely try going early when is less crowded and be able to see everything.

This was so fun to see. It was only $5 to get in and the gift shop was very reasonable. A great place to tale your kids.

Interesting. The house has been kept like it was and has interesting information. They have a nice gift shop as well.

Great location and tour. Awesomely restored and wasnt rushed on the tour which was nice. We were all over this building and even down in the basement. Interesting to see Betsys grave in the courtyard as well. We have a full review on our blog site and YouTube channel for this location.

Amazing to see how the place has been preserved for so long and you can definitely see a glimpse of the past. Will definitely visit next time I come to PA

Simply awesome. Such a wonderful step back into history with abundant info provided inside the house whether it be the audio tour or just reading the signs provided. Be sure to check out Betsys grave site located out in the main courtyard as well.

Very tiny museum but a very interesting look into life during colonial times.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit this week. We attended the Betsy Ross birthday bash. The museum was very well done. I love the lady who portrays Betsy Ross. I have seen her portray several people at other venues and she does an amazing job. The staff at the museum were friendly and helpful. The gentleman working in the museum store was so friendly and even helped me map out the rest of my sightseeing in Philly.The Betsy Ross house is a must visit!

The first time I visited this landmark (along with the Liberty Bell) was when I was a child. I wanted to visit again to revisit the history of this woman and the house. I always seemed to remember the spiral staircase leading to the upstairs. As an adult, it seems even smaller now. Going through the house is pretty fast since it is very small, so the fee of $5.00 to tour is fair price. It is not really great for large groups. They have an area outside for eating and drinking and they have a cute gift shop in the back. They have several people dressed in character from that time period, which is quite entertaining. This landmark is definitely a must see for tourist.

This was a neat, affordable museum. Very much enjoyed the audio tour. Good info beyond what was posted. Betsy Ross was in residence and we so very much enjoyed talking with her. She did a fantastic job staying in character the whole time even with some of our crazy questions and answers. She definitely knew Betsy Ross life well and was quick thinking on the spot. The woman working desk where we bought tickets was also so very pleasant. She said audio tour normally takes 30mins. We were there for 55 minutes but this included talking with Betsy as well as my girls playing in the kids play kitchen area. In general I would not recommend this museum for young kids. My girls are 9 and 12 and were very interested in Betsy Ross before we came. My 2 younger did not come in and I think would have been a little bored plus the stairs are steep and winding. Great little gem we never would have found without the bus tour!

Closed right now....fun to see the outside and hear the story from the tour guide

I really had a fun time visiting the home of Betsy Ross. The lady that was portraying Betsy Ross was very informative and really was in character. I love seeing her bedroom and learning the history of the place. I only wish we had more access to all the rooms. The tour was quick and not expensive. I must see on your historical tour of Philly

We had a great time taking our oldest granddaughter (8 yrs old) and she loved everything. She even picked out a few souvenirs at the gift shop. And Elfreths Alley is very close to the B.Ross House, which she also enjoyed.

An amazing piece of history that is worth paying to see (very cheap). The home of Betsy Ross still in its near original form (built in 1750). The story behind the first flag is shared by an actress playing as Ms. Ross. Very enjoyable for all ages. They also have a wonderful gift shop and courtyard next to the original home.

So much history in this little house! There is charge but you do get to walk around and view three stories of history in this little house. Takes about half hour. There is also a little gift shop with all sorts of neat gifts.

Lovely site attended by kind staff and actors. It was amazing how well they kept character and were into it! The house is well preserved and presented. Each room is staged and many objects are interactive. I loved walking through here and thinking about how much life has changed in the last 250 years.

Campos cheesesteaks loves The Betsy Ross House

Betsy Ross is credited with having created the first star and stripe flag. As an upholster Ross was hired by George Washington to make linens for his home at Mount Vernon. She did provide flags to both the Continental Army and later the United States government.It is slightly ironic, the story with Colin Kaepernick being upset over the Betsy Ross flag broke the day before we were visiting Philadelphia. We had already planned to visit the Betsy Ross house, as we arrived there was a film crew outside. Trying to get patrons reactions, no one was talking to them.We found the tour to be short, but really how much can you say about Betsy Ross. Two facts stood out to me; one that she was a Quaker. This means that she probably had strong feelings against slavery. After all Quakers were one of the first groups to condemn slavery in the British Colonies. Second she did not own the house, but was a tenant.If you are in the area, which if you visiting Independence National Park you will be, it is a short walk. You can stop along the way at Christ Church Graveyard and see Ben Franklin’s grave. There is also a nice little restaurant just down the street, called Old City Pizza.

A piece of history, Betsy Ross sewed the first stars and stripes, but her house is also a little bit of 18th century history in its own right.Well worth a visit for the social history, and a better understanding of life for women in those days.Entry is pretty inexpensive too, which might be a relief given all the museums you will be visiting in Philly

Interesting little Museum where Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag. This is actually the house where she lived. The Museum has admission of $5/ and with guided tours and souvenir shop, not bad.

It was amazing to go see this beautiful yet antique house and to learn the story behind it. It was a great experience!

It was interesting to learn about Betsy Ross and life during the colonial era. Even if you dont get the audio guide the displays and guides are informative and interesting.

Great historic place to visit and know more of Bettsy Ross living .There alot to see here inside her small house.

Awesome experience!! Great tour!!

Gives you a taste of the living space in colonial times. Interesting!

Great atmosphere! Totally recommended visiting the gift shop :)

Its a small unassuming place, but tour is definitely worth taking. Its interesting and educational. I wasnt expecting it to be this good, but I was pleasantly surprised. There are a couple of actors inside who explain their lives in that period.

So interesting. If you like American History you will love this tour

Interesting historical landmark - fun to learn about Betsy and her legacy. Recommend checking out for those visiting from out of town, like myself!

The Betsy Ross house is pretty cool. Awesome that the original house is still there and it was preserved and turned into a museum to her and her works.The tour isnt expensive at all, about $6 or so, $2 extra for a hand held audio tour. You hold the audio tour piece to your ear like a cell phone and listen to the history of the room youre in. The house is very small but has been set up to resemble how her house or houses of the time looked like. A small bed room, tiny stairs going upstairs, another small bedroom where Betsy Ross made the first United States of America flag. Theres an example of the flag in the room. Another tiny set of stairs leads to the basement which only has about 55 tall ceiling. The pantry is down there, the laundry set up is down there, the kitchen is down there and a kids play area.Once youve been through the house you exit outside in the courtyard where you walked in. The courtyard has the grave of Betsy Ross and a fountain with the original 13 states on it. You walk back inside to return the audio tour device and theres a small but good little gift shop. There are restrooms downstairs.

Docent did a great job. Stairs very narrow, steep and curvy. Not easy for disabled individuals. Very cute home and affordable site.

Such a great place to visit while in Philly! Great job done on preserving the area and making it interactive and educational. The gift shop was fabulous, too.

Suggestion. Just stop out front take some pics. Great thing to see on your swing through town.

The experience was better as an adult. I hadnt been here since I was in the 3rd grade and Ill be 56 on 1/31. I really enjoyed it!

Amazing place to visit and the actors here were really great! They stayed in character and really knew their stuff. Very entertaining.

A historic place near Franklin Square Park . we actually went for New year Eve celebration at franklin park..we reached there 30 min before so thought about to explore near by area.. And came to know about Besty Ross house. It was cute little cozy place to be covered. Haa its own historic significance. Great Audio Tour with such professional staff.

Such a quaint house on a lovely street. Inside was authentic and actually had some of the original furniture. Friendly staff inside to answer your questions and a nice gift shop and courtyard area.

Well kept historic house way down in the old district. There is a very informative audio tour as well as additional information posted around the rooms. Easy to navigate and a couple of spots for the kids to stop and play around as well - and even an opportunity to meet Betsy herself and hear how she made the stars for the flag. Well stocked souvenir shop attached as well.

The tour is $5-$7... I invested into the audio guide & paid $7. What an experience. They even had a live person acting as Betsy Ross talking in the old tongue. You can ask as many questions as you like. I would love to visit again with kids.

Small house full of artifacts and replicas. Worth the price of admissions. This place is not really handicap accessible due to keeping it true to how it was during the revolution time when Betsy occupied rhe house.

Such an interesting place to visit. The history here is remarkable. The house is small to tour, but you can just get a sense of how they lived back then. Great customer service and a nice gift shop.

Betsy did a great job of telling the story and making it come alive.

A great place for American History. The Betsy Ross House is in the Old City Neighborhood of Center City, (The Downtown). Excellent tour, staff is great. Youll always get to see someone dressed up as Betsy Ross walking around. If need any shop, food, drink, hotels, all the the area.

Its a nice place to learn about the woman who created the American flag. Youll learn how people used to live in her lifetime and you can see how the flag was made.it only take about 30 to 45 mins to get through the whole museum/house.

A very pleasant tour through one of historys most famous seamstress!The reenactor that portrays Betsy Ross was fantastic in poise, dress, and demeanor. A lovely visit and worth taking the time to visit.

So glad we took this tour! The staff was really friendly and well-informed. So much we did not know about this early American Patriot. If youre going to take a historical tour of Philadelphia, the Betsy Ross House is not to be missed!

It is a historic place in Philadelphia. The tour is short but entertaining. I recommend it for sure. ️️️

Great place to tour & get information from Betsey herself at the end of the tour.

Okay first time and first trip to to Boston. This place is very family friendly. They had a storyteller right outside doing storytime for the children. LOVED IT! This is a tough place to find street so I’d advise parking away from the main road because you’ll save yourself time and hassle

Great little museum. Short walk through history with several interactive exhibits. Basement is particularly kid friendly with hands on pantry, kitchen and store house. Steep stairs however to get upstairs. Highly recommend audio tour. Well worth the money.

Nice experience!

Betsy Ross house is a small house located in philadelphia where she stayed at and created the American Flag with the 13 stars. The house is very old and small. Upstairs is betsy rosss room where she knit the flag. Very beautiful place to visit and you get to see some old items. In the basement they also have some in display. A must see place if you come philadelphia.

$5 admission for adults $3 for audio tour. It takes about 10 minutes for self guided tour. Air conditioned but not handicapped accessible. Worth the time if youre interested in history.

Went through in just a few minutes. nothing too special to make me want to recommend it. especially because it cost money

Yet another spot of great historical significance. Small but its pretty cool to have a little piece of history preserved.On a side note, its just a 5-7 minute walk from Independence Hall.... (and right across the street from Starbucks)

The Betsy Ross House was a fun yet simple activity to do while in Philly. There wasnt a line and the entrance was only $5. So we walked through the house and got to see the place. The best part was at the end in the laundry area there was someone there who was explaining how long people would go without washing their clothes or showering. It was quite entertaining. Simple and easy activity. You are in and out in less than 15 minutes.

A preserved reminder of Colonial times in our country. A great commemorative to Betsy Ross too. Overall it’s not to large, but worth the visit if in the area.

One of the highlights of my trip to Philadelphia! A must see! Sweet little gift shop too! Highly Recommend! Huge American flag across the street too! Awesome

Nice to visit where the first American flag was made, but I think its too exaggerated make pay the kids 5 or 6 years old. Bastille a beautiful place to visit its part of American history once in a lifetime you have to see it for me two times is better than one

Its a swell place to take the family. Always something of interest going on here. Go when the weather is nice. Outdoor demonstrations on chocolate. It doesnt get more historical or Philadelphian than this except for Ben Franklin.

Very neat to see where she lived. I did not tour the home unfortunately as it chooses at 5, and I was there later than this.

Our 5 year old could not WAIT to visit the Betsy Ross House after learning about her in school! A great view into history!

Nice small museum taking you through the history behind the flag.

You can have a great conversation with Betsy Ross.

Tours were nice and sweet. Im glad her name will live down in history

There is a courtyard that you can enjoy before visiting Betsys House. There is a stand to buy water or snacks. If you want to buy souvenirs, there is a store as well. I thought the admission fee was appropriate for visiting the house ($5 for adults/$4 for students with IDs). There are lots of stairs so you need to be very mobile to visit this house. Very tight quarters. I enjoyed it and glad that we visited.

Historical site, but not open on Mondays.

Awesome. Standing in the middle of history.

The Betsy Ross House is an interesting place. It is still disputed by historians whether or not Betsy Ross actually created the first American flag, but this place will try to say she irrevocably did. Betsy Ross grave is outside. Unlike other historical places in Philadelphia, this one is not run by the National Park Service and requires a $4 fee to get in for a short self-guided tour. Personally, I would definitely skip this location if youre limited on time and have to choose between this or Independence Hall/Liberty Bell Center. If you do decide to go, though, dont miss Elfreths Alley right around the corner.

We walked through as fast as possible which was difficult because there was a large boy scout troop there on the day we went. Nice history but it was quite small. The women in period dress were great in character. I just wish it wasnt so crowded I would have enjoyed it much more. I loved the grounds which were well maintained and scenic. I recommend going when there isnt a school or boy/girl scout trip.

I mean, its THE Liberty Bell!! Amazing for history buffs like me! Again, we went an hour before anything opened. So we could walk around and be first to get tickets ( which are free).

Walking through Betsy Ross House puts you back in time where Mrs. Ross was sewing our nations flag to help align the 13 colonies into the United States of America. I suggest taking the tour and walking back in time to the dawn of our country.

Nice if you’re a big history buff, but it costs to get in and the house is TINY. Mainly stopped by to look at it briefly and so I could say I’d seen it.

Me and my boyfriend both enjoyed this tour .. we paid for the audio tour .. I love the actor Ms. Jones ( Natasha ) was very informative and interactive with the people !

Great historical landmark!! Beautifully preserved museum and the main attraction is ask Bettsy Ross whatever questions you might have about her life.

They stayed open later than normal for the tourist season, which was super helpful! Because of work, I wouldnt normally get to visit. Therea some debate about whether Betsy Ross really sewed the first flag because it was only her grandson (?) that mentioned it years later. They read that as she was so humble that she didnt even tell anyone and we only learned from her relative years after her death. Still a great museum about the revolution and life during that time.

Interesting tour.

Really enjoyed the drinking chocolate demo.

Fun! So tiny! People in colonial times had to be a lot smaller than we are today!

America The Beautiful (Now)

The employee that played Betsy Ross was excellent and informative!

Fun place to spend some time.. 5$ per person

One of the most memorable places me and my 10 year old daughter visited in Philadelphia. Audio tour is amazing, the house has a lot of history,very kid-friendly and cant beat the entrance fee!A must see!

This historic place is lovely outside and gift shop. I didnt get the inside tour because of the limited time for touring downtown.It would be great if the kiosk outside sells more traditional quick bite food with cozier atmosphere equal to the outside.

Had never been there. I enjoyed seeing this historic place. Betsy was a pretty guts lady. Go visit her house.

This is a fun historic monument. It was fun to see the location of wonderful history.

Supposedly the place where American flag was born. If you really into American history, must see place, otherwise it is not as entertaining as other places

Inside of the house is a must see informative plaques throughout.

Great tour. We really enjoyed our time touring the house. Staff was professional and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Very nice little museum. Nice 1800s furniture and actors on site

First thing, this is not officially part of the NPS, so you have to buy your own admission and such for it outside of the other historical items in the area. It is neat. Definitely trying their best to keep it going. They have a lot of good information and there is a lot of history in the house. Not a must see, but a worthy look.

Nice place to sight see. I learned some interesting facts. And got to speak with Betsy.

One of the landmark/attractions in Philadelphia. Seeing the first USA flag hanging on the wall.... just like seeing a piece of history! There is a gift shop next to the small museum. Love the courtyard under the tree shade. Perfect place to take a break while walking around the city. They also have to the story-time area, it is interesting to learn some history. Very informative!!

Textile lovers, sewers and quilters - this is a must-see. The courage of Mrs. Ross is to be admired as well as her needlework as an upholsterer cum flagmaker. Costumed, knowledgeable impersonators described life at the time as Mrs. Ross herself and her washerwoman, in period speech, no less. As a quilter and fabric lover, I found this engrossing; an hour went by quickly. A bonus was live storytelling in the courtyard. Children - sans screens, no less - appeared captivated by the engaging storyteller as she recounted historical tales.Note the felled seams on the flag (reproduction)

Nice short visit but worth the few dollars on admission.

Great educational trip for my daughter. The actress that played Betsy was fantastic.

Great place but under construction right now.
