Do you want the ultimate Halloween Nights experience? After Dark VIP Admission is our most comprehensive upgrade (of all time!) and your ticket to a top-notch, thrilling evening. In addition to all attractions and areas included with General Admission, After Dark VIPs receive…

  • VIP Flashlight Tour — Begin your night with a 40-minute, guide-led walking tour. With only flashlights to illuminate your way, follow one of our engaging guides into otherwise off-limits parts of the historic site, and learn about Eastern State Penitentiary’s past as an active prison.
  • Front-of-the-Line Festival Access — After the VIP Flashlight Tour, your guide will escort you to the front of the line for direct access to the rest of the Halloween Nights festival.
  • Quick Pass — Once you’re inside, you’ll receive priority access to every haunted attraction, bypassing the General Admission lines.
  • The Speakeasy at Al Capone’s Cell — End your evening with a complimentary beer, wine, cider, or soft drink in an exclusive ticketed lounge near Al Capone’s Cell. Unbundle your nerves in this cozy little hideaway as you’re serenaded by our glamorous, undead lounge singers.

If you truly want to do it all, purchase After Dark VIP Admission online in advance. Then, be sure to add a Hospital Flashlight Tour (the only experience not included with this upgrade) for $13 at the door.

This image captures a dimly lit corridor with several people walking through it, some using flashlights to illuminate their surroundings. The walls are worn and peeling, suggesting the space is aged, abandoned, or historically significant. The corridor extends into a brighter area in the distance, possibly an exit or another room, creating a strong contrast between light and shadow. The atmosphere evokes a sense of exploration, mystery, or historical preservation, possibly indicating a guided tour or an investigative walk through an old prison, asylum, or similar site.

Take a 20-minute, guide-led, flashlight walking tour of Cellblock 3, the Hospital Block. Learn more about Eastern State Penitentiary’s medical history and get a look at the Operating Room and other fascinating spaces. Admission includes a souvenir flashlight.
