Boggo Rd Gaol

A really fun place for adults and older children. Lots of steps,so not suited to young children or the aged. Tour is very informative and it's great to hear the history of the place.

History and Executioner Tour

Spent 2 hours on the history and Executioner tours. Both were an amazing experience. The chills you get being in the place, hearing the story and how awful life would have been was amazing. Highly recommended!

Preserving a piece of history

Excellent. Everyday at 11AM there is a tour of some sort. Time it perfectly with advance internet booking to avoid disappointment. If you have a large private group, ring up to fix a convenient time. Jack and his team are doing extraordinary job.
