We went to the Gaol on a Monday afternoon. Overall its a fabulous attraction but you do have to be willing to read and process a lot of information as it is a self guided tour. Criminal justice is an interest of mine so this was all a bonus for me. I also note its pretty pricey at $25.00 per... More

We had a great time at the gaol, it was kids holidays so there was story telling and activities and a reenactment of Ned Kellys trial which was good fun. The Gaol was a great attraction for a haf day visit and is very close to the centre.

For approximately 75 years from the mid-1800s to the late 1920s, this gaol or jail, which is now a museum, housed notorious criminals such as Ned Kelly, an infamous bush ranger, as well as women whose only crime was being destitute. There is a log documenting the offenses of many of the women who had the misfortune of being sent... More

Ned Kelly was hanged there. Spooky place but well worth visiting and part of the attraction.. Informative staff. The death masks are awesome.

I was so upset by the service I received, it affected my whole enjoyment of the attraction. Staff were rude and dismissive. No welcome, no smiles, only reluctance and an attitude which made me feel I was an inconvenience. Two staff inside the gaol were lovely, but the two women on reception and another women in uniform were very unpleasant.... More

Brits beware - $25 entry, something alien to us as most london sites are free entry. Was it worth it? I suppose so but only just. If anyone has been to Alcatraz you'll find it poor in comparison. However the phrenology stuff was interesting. For your ticket you also get entry to the old police station and get a criminal's... More

Not value for money. The tour around the gaol was very poor not much to see. The best part was the death masks and their relevant stories. The trial of Ned Kelly was boring and not very entertaining and went on to long. Children got bored very quickly.

The stories and the guide was a good way to bring extra life to the history and provide a good overview of the main historic points. However, they weren't clear how much extra time you had at the end (the start of the tour they implied that you'd have all the time you'd like) and we found ourselves really caught... More

What a great attraction this place is. A great self tour of the gaol with death masks of inmates and the infamous Ned Kelly. A great experience for kids and adults and you can get 'arrested' and go through the booking experience at the watchhouse next door.
