The Dongzhou Correctional Institution, once the world's most famous and expensive prison, now has only a shabby, mottled corridors and cells, and empty sentry buildings. You can come here to feel the living environment of prisoners who are restricted from freedom and visit the mysterious structure of the prison. Sometimes there will be special theme exhibitions here, and you can check the official website before visiting.

Tickets for the attraction are included in the Philadelphia Tourist Package: This attraction is also a very wonderful and rare tourist attraction experience, the Gothic-style abandoned building is open to the public to visit. It was also once one of the largest and most expensive public buildings. Although it was sunny when I came to visit, it still gave people a gloomy feeling, and the cage space was very small and depressing. Every year, Halloween, this place will also be transformed into a haunted house. Friends who like adventure can learn about Halloween activities from 9.16 to 11.5. The museum is designed to be free to visit, and the way to carry the interpreter is quite interesting. You can listen to the story introduction at that time. 📌 Small Tips: Walking all the way from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the distance is not far, about 15 minutes walking distance, all the way through various residential areas. This attraction is also a museum-studded Philadelphia tourist attraction, the most famous here should be Al Capone's cell. After visiting the Dongzhou Correctional Institution, it is recommended to go to the nearby Philadelphia Art Museum. There are also various museums, art museums and science museums on both sides of Park Avenue.
