Eastern State Penitentiary Is Reopening Next Week!

As the city moves into the green phase and Philadelphians will venture out a bit more, many will be looking for things to do.  Eastern State Penitentiary is looking to solve this issue with their reopening announcement.

In an Instagram post, Eastern State, announced their planned Friday August 14th opening. Of course visiting here will be a bit different to pre-COVID days. New safety guidelines will be in place which of course will include social distancing and mandatory masks.

In their post they state, “Historic tour hours will be Friday through Sunday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. All tickets must be purchased online in advance, and you’ll be asked to choose a 30-minute entry window. Masks (ages 2+) and physical distancing are required.”

Tickets can be purchased here.
