Great experience for Halloween Nights! They decorated the cell into haunted houses which makes it more fun!
Eastern State Penitentiary was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, but now only shabby, mottled corridors and cells, as well as empty sentry towers, remain. You can come here to experience the living environment of prisoners who are restricted in their freedom and explore the mysterious structure of the prison. Sometimes there are some special theme exhibitions here, so you can read the official website introduction before visiting.
