Fantastic tour, great value and well worth two hours. Chose this the a black taxi tour which picked us up from the prison, highly recommend doing it this way. Gives you so much information to take in.

What a great place, well set out, very informative and very well set out easy to follow layout. A must do attraction when in Belfast for the weekend. Easy to get to no 11e bus from just past City Hall

Great place to visit on a wet day. We got straight off the plane and came here. Great 2 hours spent wandering. Plenty of information. Be warned if its cold outside its colder inside

Crumlin Road is definitely worth a visit and I recommend combining it with a black taxi tour so you get a full understanding of how the jail was used. There is a lot of history in those walls and we learned a lot. We also enjoyed walking around outside admiring the beautiful building.

The self-guided tour makes use of holograms to guide you through the facility. There's an audio augmentation option, too. There are several places where you need to stop and wait to transition, so this is not a place where you can race through if it isn't too your liking. Most of the exhibits are in a single cell block, which includes the gallows. I thought the audiovisual aspect added a lot as you hear different prisoner's stories and various perspectives on the prison's history. Across the street is the ornate former court house which, sadly, has not gotten the museum treatment and is without a roof, exposed to the elements. The prison has a gift shop, sit down restaurant, and cafe. Outside is an apropos of nothing, helicopter.

This was such an interesting experience! There was plenty to see and lots of information to read on the tour, and I definitely learned a lot. The video exhibits were also very helpful, particularly the cartoon explaining the history of the Troubles, as it provided a very informative overview of the conflict. Definitely worth a visit if you want to learn more about The Troubles in Belfast.

I really was quite nervous about this tour, given the history of this building. It was excellent. The way the tour is laid out is very good indeed, and covers a large period of history. Some of it is uncomfortable, but it was presented as sensitively as possible. The part which shows the execution section is powerful. I would highly recommend this museum. It really did open our eyes.

The Gaol is an excellent visitor attraction. We arrived late afternoon and this made our tour even more eerie as it went dark. We all enjoyed the interactive displays which share the history of the gaol in short snippets.

The self guided experience is so well put together. The use of AV was very engaging and I found I took much more information in than I often do at museums etc. We spent 2.5 hours in there. We went in January but had read other reviews so knew to wrap up. We then sat down and had a nice tasty lunch in the Cuff restaurant. Strongly recommend. My only feedback to the venue is that from an accessibility pov, it would be good if they also captioned the videos for people hard of hearing. Would make the experience more inclusive

Really fascinating and a bit heartbreaking. Great interactive walk through. A must for history buffs. Very informative not only about the troubles but also how prisoners were treated in Victorian times. A real eye opener.
