Eastern State Penitentiary Package
Tour Pennsylvania’s Historic Eastern State Penitentiary
Experience a unique aspect of Philadelphia’s colorful history! Take a fascinating tour of Pennsylvania’s historic Eastern State Penitentiary and experience how the once controversial concept of solitary confinement was used to change the behavior of inmates.
Opened in 1829, this famous solitary confinement prison once held the world’s most notorious criminals, including Al Capone and bank robber Willie Sutton.
The Historic Tour, narrated by actor Steve Buscemi, includes the Surveillance Hub, restored cells, the solitary confinement yards, the baseball diamond, Death Row and Al Capone's cell.
