  • There is no parking at Eastern State Penitentiary. For people driving personal vehicles, we offer a park and shuttle service for $20 online or $25 on site per vehicle. Large vehicles (charter buses, RVs, etc.) should plan to drop off/ pick up in front of the penitentiary and park off-site in a bus lot. Please visit our Directions & Parking page for more information.
