Description

Fremantle Prison Tours are designed to support learning outcomes in the Society and Environment learning area, particularly the Time, Continuity and Change, and Investigation, Communication and Participation strands. Specific focus tours, such as the Convict History Tour, will engage your group in an entertaining and educational manner.

Step inside and explore Fremantle Prison from its convict origins in the 1850’s until its closure as a maximum-security gaol in 1991.

Take a visual journey back in time in the Main Cell Block where you can view life as it was for both convicts and prisoners. What type of cell would you prefer to be in?

Discover how time was passed in the yards, while marvelling at original prisoner works of art.

Pray for redemption in the Anglican Chapel and laugh as our entertaining guides show you the lighter side of Prison humour.

From shackles and isolation, to walls, gates, gun towers and razor wire, Fremantle Prison was designed and built as a place of incarceration. Join our experienced guides to see where many daring and dangerous escapes were attempted by convicts and prisoners alike. Become acquainted with bushrangers and escape artists, such as Moondyne Joe, and marvel at his escape proof cell.
