Eastern State Penitentiary
Once a high-security prison, Eastern State Penitentiary is picturesque with its stone walls and turrets. Visitors can expect to see amazing things from Al Capone’s furnished cellblock to history exhibits and art installations, and when there, definitely opt-in for the included audio tour narrated by Steve Buscemi. With so many it’s easy to spend a whole afternoon there. In July, visitors can take part in Bastille Day, and during the Halloween season, it turns into a horror house at night. Tickets for regular tours are $14 for adults and $10 for students or kids.
