This was our favorite tour while in Philadelphia. We were here during the day, which made it not as creepy to walk through as it would be at night. There was a very heavy feeling throughout the entire facility. We did not see or capture anything that would be considered paranormal, but there is definitely some energy that is felt. This was an amazing tour. Whether you are interested in the paranormal or just in history, this is a great place to visit!
One of the coolest places I've been to in a while. We did the hand on history where they take you to the places the regular tour doesn't take you and it was the best part. We eneded up going to the kitchen, chapel and hospital wings. Gary was our tour guide and he was the best. Answered all our questions and was so nice. Definitely a must see. Buy tickets in advance to save a few bucks.
I really enjoyed walking through this place and learning the history. They did a good job presenting what the place was actually like. Some good exhibits and the audio tour is the best. At your own pace and you don’t have to read signs the whole time.
