Old Melbourne Gaol Crime & Justice Experience 

Description

Step back in time and walk the road to the gallows in a 19th century prison, or be locked up in a modern-day Police Station.

Home to our oldest prison and former Police City Watch House, this site has been at the heart of crime, law and order in Melbourne since the 1840s. Most of Australia’s infamous characters, including iconic bushranger Ned Kelly and notorious gangster Squizzy Taylor, have spent time within the walls of this amazing precinct. Ned Kelly, along with 135 other men and women, was hanged at this site. Don’t miss out on Australia’s most wanted experience!
