Eastern State Penitentiary
Some of America's most notorious criminals were held in the Penitentiary's vaulted, sky-lit cells, including bank robber Willie Sutton and Al Capone. After 142 years of consecutive use, Eastern State Penitentiary was completely abandoned in 1971, and now stands, a lost world of crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers.

Tour includes the central rotunda, restored cells, the solitary confinement yards, the baseball diamond, death row and Al Capone's Cell.

Bring a camera and extra film. Eastern State may be the most photogenic place you see in years!

Children 7 & under not permitted.

Many visitors in wheelchairs visit Eastern State Penitentiary every year. That said, the Penitentiary complex is not fully ADA compliant. The building is 173 years old, and is a National Historic Landmark. Sections of it may never be fully accessible. There is a small museum and gift shop which is only accessible by a set of 3 steps. This section of the Penitentiary can easily be bypassed. The rest of the tour route is equipped with ADA compliant ramps and meets most ADA guidelines.

Eastern State Penitentiary remains in a state of semi-ruin. Visitors should exercise caution, and stay within the clearly marked public areas.
