It is all very interesting and educational
Has a real Errie feel as you are walking around loads to see
We did the self guide
I would of loved to do the guided tour but I went with my dog and they are not allowed on guided tour
You can get a little bit lost even tho a map is provided

Great day out.
Parking is a nightmare. Small Carpark opposite the prison full by 10am. There is another Carpark just down the hill. The machines do not accept cash. You have to register on the app to pay. Almost £6.
The prison staff friendly.

Great experience. We went self guided and there is plenty to see to get the real life experience. We liked the cells and the hang man’s noose

A very interesting experience. So much to see and find out about. Tour guides were informative. It was easy to imagine what it must have been (and be) like to be in prison! So much to discover here, I would definitely recommend this. Also interesting to find out that drama series had been filmed there.

Experience the grimness of prison life and see how prison cells have changed since Victorian times. The food in the restaurant is excellent as are all the staff throughout the whole prison experience. As a deterrent it should be a compulsory visit for all young teenagers. There is an opportunity for the prison experience to be enhanced even further than at present, I would suggest for example a furnished cell that could be used for selfies, the formal booking height chart was very popular for photos. The haunted cell was also a big hit with the grandchildren.

Really enjoyed looking at how prison life was like through the different eras and seeing the cell where mark Cobden was when he did the TV program called time.

Great atmosphere, and paranormal activity even during the day, had a good day, love to do a night time stay.

It was very unique and the prison was left as it was which made it realistic and gave you a feel for a real prison. Very interactive and informative and a fantastic experience and will definitely visit again!
