What an amazing experience. David took us on a journey through history around the jail filled with quirky characters, all in unique costumes and he changed character quickly and flawlessly to bring the jails history to life. Theres plenty of information on display and an audio guide to take you through each section of the jail. David stayed professional in character but still attentive to my well being due to me using a walking stick. The children were made to feel a part of the performance as well. It was such a good performance that our 5 year old believed David's performance to be real, after David gave us a chance to look around and returned later dressed as a new character. There was audio sound effects amongst David's performance and his tour was both comedic and informative and highly entertaining. The view from the top of the jail in the exercise yard is stunning. There's some perfect opportunities to capture a fun memory of your experience. We found a choice of fun t-shirts in the gift shop and at a pleasantly affordable price, so myself and my partner bought ourselves a fun souvenir and they sell an interesting guide book also. It was a great experience for the whole family. The staff were super friendly and helpful and a lady from the front desk helped us get a great family photo in front of a backdrop with funny inmate number boards. We loved it, thank you.

I must see attraction in Stirling. An absolutely incredible real life re-enactment by the tour guide in the old jail, he is highly entertaining. This is all included in your entry price, making it excellent value. I highly recommend that you visit the Stirling Old Town Jail. Night tours are offered as well, now that would be really spooky!

I came by myself and joined in a tour with another family. Our guide was Jonathan and I was impressed by his character changes, his guiding through the jail and historical information. The jail was such a cool piece of history and I want to thank Jonathan for having a chat with me about historical Australian prisons after the tour! Loved the stunning views from the top also. Thanks guys!

We all had a great time at the escape room. It was set up in a big room & the props & decorations were all very authentic. The puzzles were well thought out & all very different, which worked well with our teams different abilities. Thanks to Jo for the hints when we were struggling with some of the clues. It was a lovely surprise to be offered the option of going up the tower & onto the roof for amazing panaramic views around Stirling. Great end to our experience.

Went for a tour of the Jail for a day, there were 3 of us. Was a good day out. We went to start the tour and our tour guide Adam was very rude before starting his performance. The performance itself was very good but the prior experience with the actor soured the entire experience. The views were nice but will he an unlikely return

Walked In and tour was starting in a couple of minutes so didn't have to wait long and tickets available. You are given audio pack to use after a 30 minute tour which is fantastic. Our guide was David and what a guy he is. Absolutely fantastic really played the characters well and had us all in stitches great sense of humour and a credit to the team. Highly recommend a visit here.
