Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History reviews
14Absolutely fantastic. Immersive, informative, engaging and accessible — how can they afford free admission? I learned so much about Jewish life and history in America. (Apparently there were Jewish cowboys!) The only problem was that there’s so much there that I only got to see one floor, but it’s my own fault for arriving too late. Going to be back next weekend.
4 floor museum with many different time periods and themes. I enjoyed with my 9 and 6 year olds, and would recommend for any ages. Parking at Bourse was easy and required a validation while checking into museum.
Absolutely must tour this museum. One of best designed museum infrastructures around. There is so much to learn and experience. It is easily navigable for all.
Really extensive and informative. Covers history of Jews in the US since the colonial days. Would recommend doing the guided tour at 2 — it covers most floors and is 1.5-2 hours
Incredible experience. Our tour guide, Charlotte Schwartz, was personable, hilarious, and well-informed. Upon entering the museum, she approached me and my girlfriend, and we are thankful she did. The proceeding hour and a half were delightful. Charlotte allowed me to provide family stories dealing with the tour's content. She enhanced my understanding of Jewish history and my family history. I cannot recommend visiting enough.
Best museum concept and impressive presentations on important historical and cultural issues!
A jingoist, overly simplified history of Jews in America that chooses to glance over much of their oppression
Beautiful place! I encourage anyone, everyone to step outside of your culture and visit! This museum is filled with information, extremely informative, clean, welcoming and approachable staff, some exhibits are interactive as well. My entire family enjoyed it! FYI, it's FREE entry (we made a donation and that is your choice to do so, you do not have to).
My Bubbie came to town and we took her here. It was incredible. Watching her revisit her life in this museum was a priceless experience. And the interactive parts were memories we will cherish. I can't recommend it enough. It's so beautifully done.
A beautiful place to go with history of the Jewish people as I'm levitic one of the 12 tribes of Israel support them.
Left here feeling that war and fighting doesn't SOLVE ANYTHING. May ALL Stay Blessed & At Peace
I had a wonderful experience. When you go make sure to get one of the tours, it was wonderful!
As a local, I thought the museum was excellent. However, my lady is from Manhatten who kept saying how superior the New York Museum of American Jewish History is compared to the Philly museum while we were touring the exhibits.
This free, culturally and historically rich museum is a must-visit in Philadelphia. The five story space is packed with accessible and engaging exhibits. I learned so much and am grateful this museum exists. The gift shop is the best in the city!
