Fantastic tour!!
Wow what a great day. We came here on the spur of the moment and loved it.
We were able to book a tour without pre booking which was so handy. We booked the "Behind Bars" which covered the history of the jail.
Our tour guide James was amazing 👏 Such an informative and knowledgeable tour guide with a great personality. James knew how to keep us interested and his jail trivia was fascinating.
Thanks James!! 😊
Free parts are available for viewing by the public including the art gallery. The art is contributed by current inmates of WA.
Highly recommend giving the jail a visit and doing a tour.
Did the Fremantle Prison Torchlight Tour. Highly recommend. Our guide was fantastic in educating and keeping the group engaged. Lots of interesting facts and anecdotes. There are a few pleasant surprises along. They provide each guest a torch for the journey which you get to keep as a souvenir.
If you love history , then this Prison is the place to visit. I enjoyed it better than the markets. Took a basic tour for $22 and loved all the info. Thank you Jane for all the info. Was taken to the gallows and good photo opportunities for memories. Can't imagine being sentenced in the late 1800's or early 1900's. So cold inside.
A really fascinating piece of WA and Australian history from colonial to modern times. Beautifully preserved (only stopped operating as a prison in 1991) and staffed by enthusiastic and friendly people with an amazing wealth of knowledge about the place.
Some real characters among the tour guides. One or two should definitely be on stage.
A great testament to its popularity is the amazing numbers on all the tours* I've been on in the last three days - even at the start of a wild, wet, windy winter.
* I highly recommend the three-tour deal to get a well-rounded understanding of the prison from colonial to modern times, as well as a crash course in some of the more infamous residents.
Superb place. Great value.
We had a wonderful experience staying in this unique accommodation. We had a good look at the place and learn a lot about the history of the prison. Very clean and lots of common areas to sit around and chat. Great location and easy to access to Fremantle CBD. Friendly and helpful staff, great value for money , would like to come back again.
If you love love true crime and documentaries, this is a must see place! There are 5 tours - we ended up going to 2 tours - history and being the bars tours. It was amazing. We were immersed into the unique stories of inmates, beautiful drawings displayed on cell walls, their lives behind bars. Unfortunately due to time constraint, we couldn't go to other 3 tours (each tour started at specific times and approx 1.5 hours) .
A must go to place . Ticketed Parking available onsite..cafe, museum within the grounds at entrance..souvenirs available.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable in the history of the "Behind bars tour" . I will be returning to experience the other tours available.
The torchlight tour was so scary but fun, great guide taught us the history of the prison and the stain of the behaviour happened back then. Just be careful if you have claustrophobia, it was quite dark and half of the times in a closed concrete room, but its worth it visiting.
