Item Description
Take the whole family to the Pen!
All of our daytime programming (The Voices of Eastern State Audio Tour, Hands-On History, artist installations, and history exhibits) is included in admission. When you arrive, you'll get an mp3 player and headset that will guide you through the penitentiary complex and explain the prison's history. This audio guide, narrated by actor Steve Buscemi, contains a main audio route (for a general overview), plus additional stops for subjects like escapes, riots, sports, sexuality, and more.
You are free to tour at your own pace and to listen to (or skip) stops based on your interests. The audio guide is a great way to learn about and to see Eastern State Penitentiary.While you're taking the audio tour, you'll see artist installations throughout the property. Most of them are accompanied by audio tour stops that you can listen to for more information about the work.Throughout the day, all over the penitentiary complex, we offer quick, interactive tours led by our tour staff. This program is what we call Hands-On History. The stops include Open the Front Gate,Unlock a Cell,Learn to Play Bocce Ball, Explore the Underground Punishment Cells, and more. They're a great way to explore otherwise-off-limits areas of the prison and to get a new perspective on prison life. Some visitors join these tours as they come across them on-site, while others plan time for Hands-On History after they're finished with the audio tour.
