Meet other locals who are interested in exploring Philadelphia's legendary nooks and crannies, delving into its rich, flavorful history and discovering its best kept secrets!
"Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints." Urban exploration is the the examination of the normally unseen or off-limits parts of human civilization. To capture the past and explore the lives that once walked the hallways. Every abandoned structure was at one time a new, costly, state of the art endeavor that now years later has become desolate. We are the people who will preserve our history. We'll be looking for either historic or old places around this city to explore, investigate, and documentary photograph.
We're also seeking a few new assistant organizers. If you're interested in leading some exploring outings and have some interesting ideas that can add to the enjoyment of this group, please contact our organizer.

What members are saying
“ It's really a cool experience to take the time to look at the things in the city that may get overlooked on the hustle and bustle of an ordinary day. ...

“ I'm just lucky that nobody got hurt. I should've known better than to lead a group of urban explorers into a cavern at night that's located underneath W Laurel Hill Cemetery. ...
