Explore the historic cellblocks of Eastern State Penitentiary as the sun goes down. Eastern State Penitentiary was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, but stands today in ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers. Eastern State‘s vaulted, sky-lit cells held approximately 80,000 men and women during its 142 years of operation, including bank robber "Slick Willie" Sutton and “Scarface” Al Capone.

Admission includes “The Voices of Eastern State" Audio Tour, narrated by actor Steve Buscemi; award-winning exhibits; and a critically acclaimed series of artist installations. Plus, exclusive to Night Tours: Summer Twilight, grab a Triple Bottom Brewing Company beer, soft drink, or snack and relax outdoors in The Fair Chance Beer Garden. Reflect on Eastern State’s history and the legacy of criminal justice reform through a rotating selection of hands-on activities like trivia, letter-writing, poetry, and art.
