Free Museum Day At Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site

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. Experience Eastern State’s historic cell blocks as the sun goes down with a special free evening of Night Tours: Summer Twilight. Admission Includes “The Voices of Eastern State” Audio Tour, history exhibits like Al Capone’s Cell, exhibits about prisons today, and over a dozen artist installations. Plus, grab a drink, relax, and connect in the Fair Chance Beer Garden where you can participate in hands-on activities like letter-writing, trivia, and collaborative art. Programming subject to availability. Not recommended for children under seven.

There will be a standby line outside for those without tickets. Standby guests will be admitted on a first come, first served basis depending on availability.
