October kicked off with some great fall weather so enjoy it by going to events around Philly. Here are 5 Fun Fall Things happening around the city that you should definitely go check out!

1. The Eastern State Penitentiary: With one of the greatest holidays coming up (Halloween) why not go visit one of the spookiest places in the country. The Eastern State Penitentiary offers tours during the day, but then turns into a haunted house at night for Terror Behind the Walls.
