American Village Field Trip

EFA leaders and friends will spend the day at American Village reliving our exciting American History!  We will start the day with the Independence Hall Experience. This state-of-the-art, interactive experience uses cutting-edge technology and special effects to fully immerse visitors in the fight for independence. This docent-led experience begins in the West Wing of Independence Hall, where the tension of colonial unrest builds, and an original short film brings the chaos of revolution to life. Then, step into a one-of-a-kind encounter where voices from all walks of life passionately share their views on independence—in a way you’ve never seen before, but we won’t spoil the surprise. Finally, take your seat with the 2nd Continental Congress and find yourself right in the middle of the heated debate that would shape a new nation.

After that main event you can experience all of the other programs offered that day as well as visiting the 3 museums on site. American Village closes at 4:00PM.

You are invited to bring a sack lunch and eat picnic-style on the grounds any time after the Independence Hall Experience which end around 11:30.

NOTE: Due to the length and format of the Independence Hall Experience, we ask that children be at least 10 years old to attend.
