The original cell block may look small, but there is a lot to see and read. Make sure you have plenty of time when visiting. The 'tour ' was also a lot of fun.

Joseph Yuan-Lin

One of Melbourne's most popular iconic landmarks with a history of around 200 years. Ancient buildings can be seen. Definitely worth visiting!

I spent about an hour here. It's a great place for good photography . It's very Ned Kelly-centric, so probably even more interesting for international visitors.

Spend an hour here and read abt interesting prisoners and their stories. See the gallows area where the convicted were hung and their death masks.

A definite MUST VISIT. Very interesting place where you can read stories of criminals in the past

Alexandra Fanning

Interesting building but I think tix were too expensive for what it was. Also, if you don't like getting involved in role playing you will not love the tour

The recreation of the prison is quite immaculate. You are transported to a different world

Christopher Wang

Skip the trial of Ned Kelly , unless you bring a troupe of enthusiastic thespians. The real crime was the child acting. The rest of the gaol was good with information on operations and prisoner bios.

Slightly expensive but the getting arrested experience is fun. Exhibits are interesting and morbid
