We had a great day in this prison. Our family loves history so this tour was a great experience and an interactive tour that takes you back to the past. My 9-year-old son loves to pretend to be locked up. The prison itself is interesting, especially the display of Ned Kelly. I highly recommend it if you like to learn about history.

We had a great day in this prison. Our family loves history so this tour was a great experience and an interactive tour that takes you back to the past. My 9-year-old son loves to pretend to be locked up. The prison itself is interesting, especially the display of Ned Kelly. I highly recommend it if you like to learn about history.
The old prison is very big. You have to go to a small store to buy tickets, visit the men's prison, and then wait for the prison experience that should be an hourly one. The prison guard takes you to prison, and this time you are his prisoner! At first, I was looking at the photo with my mobile phone and was murdered by him! Scared me! Hahahahaha, personally feel quite fun. Not much to say about the specifics! It is more interesting to let you experience it yourself! (The whole English, my English is not very good, so I will listen to a general, it is recommended to understand the history in advance, if you are interested, you will feel that it is not worth the fare, one person is more than 30 Australians, student ID can be discounted!)
Every time in the old prison, there is an experience of the activities of prisoners. When we went there that day, we happened to catch up with the activities. A staff member wore police uniforms. We had about 30 people. Men and women stood in two rows separately to experience the process of prisoners entering the detention center. You will also randomly draw a few people and send you a piece of paper with names, crimes, simple interrogations.
Worth to pay a visit! The one who pretended the warden was so into it and it was really fun! Good experience and know more about the life in gaol in the past.
Melbourne's old prison, next door to the Royal Melbourne Polytechnic University, is a uniquely built, like a stately castle, famous for having held and executed Australia's once-famous Greenwood grand zei Kelly. Visiting the old prison is charged, the price is not cheap, you can see some of the torture equipment used at the time, Ned Kelly's armor helmet, mask, and realistic performances, recreate the original environment of the old Melbourne prison.
墨尔本旧监狱是现存的最古老的维多利亚时代的监狱,原用来关押狂躁和顽固的罪犯,如今已是一座博物馆,保留着原本的所有设置。购买参观券后,可以领取《游客指南》,有中文版的。在维多利亚街和罗素街的街角附近,是已经泛黑的蓝石建筑,现在只留下其中的一部分。也就是“囚室大楼”。内部中央有通路,两侧是三层的单人牢房,即使在夏季仍十分阴冷。展示着绞首台、鞭笞刑台、鞭子、手拷、脚镣等各种刑具,令人触目惊心。曾有104个死刑犯在此行刑,澳洲传说的强盗团首顿Ned Kelly于1880年在此监狱被处以绞刑。他和警察队的最后决战中所使用的手制头盔、铠甲还有其他的死亡面具(Death Mask)等都有展示。博物馆每天都有入狱体验活动Watch House Experience)有兴趣参加的游客在进门时不妨留意一下当天的活动时间安排,在活动开始前10分钟回到集合地点即可参加(持标的游客,不需要另付费)。活动开始后,你会拿到一张控诉书(Charge Sheet),上面记录着你所扮演的犯人名称、地址、罪名、逮捕地点等,“狱警”会给几分钟时间让每位游客记住这些内容,随后“狱警”会带着各位“犯人”进入监狱,并且疾言厉色地要求大家遵循他的指令,包括象征性地搜身检查等,把气氛营造得跟真的一样。男女游客被分为两队,分别关进禁闭室,狭小的空间、幽闭的环境让人感受到窒息般的压迫。整个体验活动约30-40分钟。在体验完“入狱”后,游客可以手持编号在布景前拍一张犯人照,中意的话可以凭号码在纪念品商店打印出来留作纪念。体验完毕后,没有去拍“犯人照”
Now it is all an attraction, all aspects of the prison are average, it is unlikely to have praise.
To experience the "prison culture", this old Melbourne prison has now withdrawn all prisoners, open to the public, although it is midsummer, the environment inside is still "cold and humid", but the volunteers (the prison guard) are quite powerful, will ask you what crime you have committed, the tone is rude, the language is vulgar, Finally, put you in the "little black house", let you "cut" experience a prisoner feeling! !
