1. 1Eastern State Penitentiary
2. 2Philadelphia Museum of Art

Know before you go

• Cellblock corridors converge on a central rotunda — the radial 'Panopticon' layout is the lesson.
• Al Capone's recreated 1929 cell (rugs, radio, antiques) contrasts with the bare cells around it.
• The ruins photograph best on gray days; ruin-stabilization keeps the decay authentic.

Tips for group trips

• Bus drop-off on Fairmount Ave at the gate; street coach parking is limited — plan a pickup loop.
• October 'Halloween Nights' is the big seasonal event — group tickets for the haunted attraction sell fast.
• The audio tour is self-paced — budget 90+ minutes; not recommended for very young kids.
