100/100 would recommend. Walked in on a Monday afternoon and got tickets, no queueing — staff are super friendly and patient in explaining different packages and tour timings. We went for the True Crime and Behind Bars tours and LOVED it. Hesther and Nathan were so so so good and engaging.
It was such a fascinating place, and we opted for a tour, which was fantastic. Learnt a lot and was extremely interesting to be taken through parts of the prison that encapsulated such history. Our guide was awesome as well - he really had a prison warden presence about him and made tour entertaining as well.
Fremantle Prison Museum is a fascinating and immersive historical experience that offers a unique glimpse into Australia’s convict past. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, this well-preserved prison, built in the 1850s, is rich in history and stories. The tours are led by knowledgeable guides who bring to life the daily struggles, escapes, and events that took place within these walls.nnThe prison offers a variety of tours, including the Day Tour, which gives an overview of prison life, and the spine-chilling Torchlight Tour, which explores the prison by night. For thrill-seekers, there’s even an underground tunnel tour, where visitors can wade or paddle through the water channels beneath the prison—a rare adventure that’s both eerie and exciting.nnThe architecture itself is impressive, with stone walls and narrow cells that transport you back in time. The museum also displays original artifacts, personal items from inmates, and exhibits on the convict era. It’s an experience that’s informative and sobering but also respectful of its complex history.nnFremantle Prison Museum is a must-visit for history buffs and those curious about Australia’s convict past. It’s a well-organized and unforgettable experience that provides insight into an essential chapter of Australia’s history.
The prison was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip to Fremantle. We were staying within walking distance of the Prison so we returned several times to take almost all of the tours on offer.nThe tours were very interesting and the guides were amazing, turning each visit into a great experience.nIt's so cool to be able to explore the waterways underneath the prison and thoroughly recommend the tunnels tour.nI recommend booking tours with enough time apart to get a nice lunch in town, because the cafe was very disappointing for such a busy tourist place.
We did the Behind Bars tour today and were very pleased. Our guide was great. Articulate, knowledgable and with just the right amount of humour to keep a diverse group entertained. The prison is quite fascinating and gives me shivers when I think of the people who lived and died there. Do book as this is one of the more popular tours they do. Have to ring to book, or walk up.
