Due to COVID-19 restrictions, our site is temporarily closed to the public until March 12, 2021, but we are still accepting reservations for private rentals that meet COVID-19 guidelines with the understanding they can be cancelled by either party, at any time.
The penitentiary is available to rent for various functions - parties, weddings, corporate events, photo shoots, film shoots, and more! Use the resources below to learn more about renting the facility, and to make your reservation online.
As of August 2019, Eastern State no longer offers paranormal rentals. Thank you for your understanding!
