Email me if you are interested. If we get 2 more people they will add another guide and Tom and I will split up and we will have two small groups. We currently have 5 people total including Tom and I. We cannot do 6 people but we could do 7-10 people so I can waitlist you and we can add people on if we get 2-5 more people.
Eastern State Penitentiary $225
Sunday June 1st
includes exclusive access to the prison (without the public from 8-10am)
Two big things are:
(1) We have the place to ourselves. We are getting in at 8am, before it opens to the public at 10am. They are opening up early just for us. We have access to the whole place!! The public does enter at 10am, but it takes them a while to get far because of the audio tour so we thru cell block 1 so we will even have some quiet time once the doors open to the public. You can stay the rest of the day, as long as you want to.
and
(2) We also get to go places that the general public does not get to go. Certain areas are not open to the public, we will have access to the operating room, infirmary, cell blocks 11 and 14 (those "dark printed areas" on the ESP map that say not open), etc. It will be awesome!
