The Old Melbourne Gaol, is one of Melbourne's oldest surviving buildings. This imposing bluestone institution is where 136 people, including iconic bushranger Ned Kelly, were hanged.

The building was a focus during some of Australia's most significant historical moments, including the Gold Rush, the Eureka Stockade Rebellion and World War ll. Night tours run four times a week.

Explore the imposing interior of the Old Melbourne Gaol at night when it would normally be locked and left to the restless souls within. Experience a creative blend of cutting-edge theatre and historical fact that brings the forbidden secrets of the prison life by candlelight.

Private tours are available for up to 40 people - a perfect outing for corporate and social groups. Experience what life was like for some of our most notorious villains - learn about their life and crimes, their trials and treatment.
