The Science History Institute is thrilled to announce that we have been named a finalist in the inaugural Visit Philadelphia Liberty Bell Awards for Philly’s Best-Kept Secret. Finalists were selected from more than 1,200 nominations across 10 categories that also include Best Historic Attraction and Most Swoon-Worthy Dish in Your Insta Feed.

You can help us win by voting for us once a day now through Thursday, March 14, 2024. Cast your vote for the Science History Institute by scrolling to the Philly’s Best-Kept Secret category at visitphilly.com/libertybells.

And since it’s likely Old City is a finalist for Neighborhood with the Biggest Personality because that’s where the Institute is located, we encourage you to also vote in that category.

Launched in honor of awards season, the Visit Philadelphia Liberty Bells celebrate the things, people, and places that Philly loves the most. Winners will be announced on Monday, March 18, 2024.
