Adelaide Gaol

Adelaide Gaol is a former Australian prison that operated from 1841 to 1988. It is one of the oldest buildings in South Australia and features unique architecture and a wealth of history. The gaol housed some of the state's most notorious and dangerous criminals, and visitors can step back in time and walk the hallways and cells of South Australia's first inmates. The gaol offers self-guided tours, guided ghost tours, and history tours, as well as guided education programs for school groups. The facility is also suitable for families, with disabled access available, and offers a kiosk, picnic area, and public toilet. The gaol is a great place to learn about the state's history and experience what life was like behind bars for almost 300,000 prisoners who once called Adelaide Gaol home
