I remember going here as a kid so took my boys to see it. Staff was friendly but disappointed that half of it was closed off to the public. A reduced price would be strongly suggested.when this happens because it wasnt worth the price to see what was open. A good learning experience for older kids.
This is a really interesting place to visit! It feels as if you have gone back in time and are experiencing what it would be like to walk into this place as a prisoner. Highly recommend this historic site.
This is a fascinating and sometimes depressing place, fascinating because it is a powerful view into the history of Ontario jails, and depressing because of the treatment prisoners received in the past. The Governor's home really points out the differences between living free and being imprisoned, but the governor himself was a forward-thinking man who firmly believed that the prisoners were human beings and deserved to be treated as such. It is disturbing to note that the last prisoners occupied cells in recent times.The gaol is well worth a visit.
Very interesting. Friendly staff. Under renovation for the upper floors, unfortunately, but they'd moved some things to thre first floor, which was nice.
Interesting old jail. Friendly staff. Just happened to stumble upon this place. The day we were there they had people playing the parts of various staff and inmates, who provided information and answered questions. Very cool.
