What visitors say
Really great tour of the Prison, we paid extra for a guided tour and really pleased we did. I learnt so much more than wandering around without the guide. He was well informed and had some amazing stories. He had genuine care for everyone on the tour, offering a seat to an older gentleman and took me through a different route when I said I was claustrophobic and couldn't go into the small cell with so many people.

A fantastic restoration and story of a Gaol throughout Belfast's last hundred years plus. Following a well planned trail you get stories, an idea of life for a variety of prisoners, the punishments, the stories and the hardships. The building itself is a stark reminder of Victorian views of punishment, separation in cells, menial work, cleanliness, religious overlay and solid structural integrity. The cafe in the former kitchens is great the food was lovely and value for money. Service was really friendly.

Pleasantly surprised! Did the self guided tour, there wasn’t many other people there on a rainy Wednesday. It was very informative and gave haunted house vibes at times, a very immersive experience. Took around 1 1/2 hours to walk through and listen to the informative videos. Very friendly staff.

Even though it was quite pricey, we ended up here because it was freezing and pouring outside. The videos and holograms were amazing, but sadly, not all the areas were open to visitors. There was no clear parking sign, and parking in front was not allowed. The building was so cold that we spent ninety minutes there, even though the coffee shop was closed for a special event, so even could not get a hot coffee to warm up. The tour ended at a real place of executions, which was a fantastic way to wrap things up.
