We visited for Grandsons birthday as he had enjoyed a home Ed visit previously. We all enjoyed the experience with friendly staff and good information boards. We spent 2hours with the grandchildren and even the youngest enjoyed looking for the rabbits, rats and mice.

Spent 2-3 hrs at the venue and we found it really interesting and well worth the journey getting there Concession reduction was a nice bonus We would have preferred a guided tour, but sadly these were not available on the day of our visit. However, we were aware of this before visiting Would recommend and would consider a return

We had a great afternoon self guiding the prison. Lots of interesting exhibits and information, very helpful staff. Only one small problem, there is no signage to direct visitors to the prison.
