Incredibly architecturally beautiful! If you like architecture and art this is an incredible site to take in. Each room having a central theme and pulling from different pieces of religion and culture. Pictures will never do justice to actually being at this site.

Coming from a different faith who has ties with the Masons, I have a great appreciation for what they represent. The temple is beautiful. The detail throughout the temple did not go unnoticed.

Beautiful building rich in US history. Located just around the corner from the convention center, the masonic temple in Philadelphia was an easy place to visit. The building itself was beautiful but the inside was just amazing!

Building is very pretty and you can visit about 7 rooms during the visit. You can tell they dedicate a lot of time on maintainance. The lady giving the tour was nice but a few jokes too forced. Only tour times tickets

One of my favorite buildings in the entire city. The building is large and very beautiful. Amazing and beautiful old architecture with tons of details. Even if you don't go inside for a tour, it's definitely worth photographing the exterior of the building.
