"It's a very intresting experience to tour this place. I have been a few times and once on "Jail Break" weekend. We got to learn about all of the different ways people escaped which was really cool. During the whole month of October they also host a really fun beer garden/haunted house/live entertainment etc. So if you're planning your visit during this time it is a neat attraction. "

"⛓ Visit what is widely regarded as the first penitentiary in the entire world! Wildly enough, both Charles Dickens and Al Capone once called this spooky place home for periods of time.
Bonus points if you are visiting Philly between September and November because you can experience Halloween Nights at Eastern State Penitentiary, which is a classical Philly Halloween activity."
