Beautiful church in Old City that many famous graves are located. Actually found a few graves with people buried that had my last name! Funny, if you look on the bottom left hand side of Ben Franklins pew you’ll notice that carved into the wood it reads “GW was here”……..just kidding but that would’ve been pretty funny! Here are some pics taken with an iPhone 13 Pro and a DJI Mini 2 drone

Christ Church is a beautiful, historical location in the Old City section of Philadelphia. It’s a must see for tourists and native Philadelphians. The staff is knowledgeable of the history and will answer any questions you might have. The outside of the church and its grounds are spectacular. You can also attend services, if you are interested. Many of our founding fathers were here. What an experience.

This Episcopal church exudes history and maintains exemplary values including dignity and respect for all people. Founded in 1695, the main structure was erected between 1727 and 1744. The tower steeple was the tallest structure in the 13 colonies and continued to maintain that status when the nation was formed.

It's worth the 5 bucks! You get to see and witness history, catch a glimpse of Pres. Washington's pew and other dignitaries who were there including a few signers of the Declaration of Independence. Check it out!

Definitely worth a visit whether you are paying to visit their famous cemetery or taking a tour of the church. Both have minimal fees attached to it. Be aware of the fact that the cemetery is not always open in inclement weather due to walking hazards. It is best to contact the church before you pay admission to enter. If visiting the church you'll find famous notables who worshipped and are buried here. This was Franklin's church. However, you will find other important people such as John Forbes who helped established Fort Pitt is buried here. The gift shop has a nice array of books including the famous Ben and me. Yes Amos the mouse got his start in this church. The church has a small graveyard of its own. It is an actual working Episcopal church and open for Sunday services.

Beautiful historic church, dates to 1744. We enjoyed our time here, especially seeing the pew locations of Betsy Ross, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams. Wish we had time for the docent tour. We bought a map for $1 and it was full of helpful information. We also visited the Christ Church Burial Grounds- a few blocks away, and the burial location of Benjamin Franklin and his wife and young daughter. Both are worth a visit.

We chose to pay for a guided tour. Before paying I asked and was told the tour was approximately 20 minutes, and we ended up getting a tour that lasted 45 minutes because the docent was so knowledgeable and willing to answer my questions. I am really glad we took some time to stop here - you will get SO much more out of it if you join the tour - I think it was only about $8 per adult, but I ended up ripping because the guy was so great. They have a small selection of souvenirs - but they are unique and a good selection. I bought a locally illustrated desk of cards. Don't skip this church!

Christians of any flavor should enjoy the worship here. Those who appreciate American history will have an added blessing to kneel where George Washington and John Adams knelt. Look for the large pew-box near the front, left of the center aisle.

Beauty church and must go visit.

Beautiful historic church that still has a congregation today. Had a great "tour" with many interesting stories about the colonial era.

Church person or not, this is a neat spot to swing through if you're touring historic buildings in the area. Being able to experience a convergence of some of the most influential early Americans. Seeing where Franklin, Washington, etc. had purchased family seats, as well as seeing the architecture of the space is worth the quick stop. The docents are eager to explain the history and engage you in conversation, so you will certainly learn something if you stop.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here! We purchased a map along with our admission and found the pews of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Betsy Ross, among others. Peaceful respit to a busy day of sightseeing. Make sure to walk around the gardens out back. Absolutely beautiful piece of history!

Absolutely no reason why they should be closed for tourism at this time. Website says opening spring 2021 and it is still not open. Worldwide most historic structures have started self guided tours with masks. Once again, no excuses.

Beautiful church, I could only visit the exterior, the church was closed at the time of my visit

Really neat expirience. George Washington's pew, Ben Franklin's pew, and Betsy Ross's pew are marked. This is a neat place to stop if you love history.

Pay the $5 to go in and get a short tour of this historic place. The history of the church is amazing. The pulpit was amazing and the history of the church wanting to get away from the Church of England. The people wanted to get away from that church. I loved this church.

It was an amazing experience to be sitting in this churches pew boxes, to think of the people who assembled and worshiped here looking for their inner peace and guidance in their lives, as they evolved to become some of the cornerstones of the USA. Lots of history here, be sure to enjoy if you come to Philadelphia for a visit.

This is a very old church that was so amazing to see in person. Well worth going and paying for a guided tour.

Tour guide at front desk on 11/24/23 was very helpful and informative. She was passionate about the history of the church. Will have to re-visit to learn more.

Beautiful church. There is so much history within the walls and grounds. Take time to speak with the historian that is often in the main sanctuary.

Historic site/landmark in Philadelphia. Not a super huge church but definitely full of history. The staffs there are friendly to answer any questions.

I've never been to a church with important people buried in the floor! Fascinating tradition that got lost in history. I wish it was a little better maintained and had more information.

A must see when visiting Historical Philadelphia. Checkout the pews where Washington and Franklin worshipped along with other signers of the Declaration. Checkout the steeple which was at one point the tallest structure in the city. Ben Franklin wanted to demonstrate that lightning can be diverted through “a pointed metal object placed at a high point on a building — connected to a conductor that would carry the electricity away from the building and into the ground.” The steeple was under construction so legend has it he flew a kite instead.

Beautiful, if you have the chance you should visit

A must in Philly. The staff takes time to give the history and answers questions. They are very knowledgeable. Beautiful structure adorned with priceless ornaments, architectural designs and one of a kind items.

So we'll preserved that you can almost see the men in their tricorn hats sitting in the family pews. We were there for a Tuesday noon organ recital that made our visit extra-magical.

I enjoyed the Sunday service and would go back. Except when I went to talk with the pastor she would not have any dialog with me. Not sure why, hopefully she's feeling better next time I go. They had a restroom available to use and we also found some daily devotionals which gave been a true blessing! Thank you all! God bless yall and thanks for carrying on history!

A once in a lifetime stop. Don't miss this. Donation only experience and a full history that brings the founding fathers to life.

This is a very amazingly simple yet beautiful Episcopal Church. It is a lovely outside garden for small receptions
