As a family (2 adults, 2 kids (12 &10)) we really enjoyed our day at Port Arthur and it was a great learning experience for us all.
There is so much to see (including the 20 minute cruise) that it would be best done over two days. Unfortunately we only had one, but got there at opening and left just after 4pm so packed in as much as we could. It's history is definitely an eye opening experience and it is at times hard to reconcile how hard life must have been with the beautiful surroundings.
We also made sure to spend some time and pay our respects at the beautifully poignant memorial to those that lost their lives in 1996.
