It’s another world behind the old prison stone walls. I have driven past so many times never knowing what’s behind these walls. One day I wanted to explore the area and realised an entire commercial area exists there with cinema, shops, supermarkets and restaurants. The precinct is unique and stunning - excellent contrast of old vs new world. Even if you aren’t shopping, still a great place to explore and learn about some history.

It makes me so happy to see how the old jail has been transformed. Well done, everyone, on such an amazing use of this iconic Melbourne landmark. Can't wait to come vack.

Quite an incredible redevelopment of this very old gaol site. Still gives me shivers, but the shops are very nice. RITCHIE'S iga has pretty much everything you need, and then some.Lots of parking too.

2022: It's quite remarkable what you can do with an old prison.The build's taken some time and it's noticeably unfinished in the back section.What can be explored within the walls is a developing collection of stores, that expected of a mall.

Disappointed the Victorian government went in this direction with the jail. It could've been a fantastic tourist attraction like Alcatraz in San Francisco. Wasted opportunity, pollies saw instant dollars not long term $$$.

quite remarkable what you can do with an old prison, they've kept so much of the best features of the original structures and repurpose them for modern use, you won’t know what’s behind the stone walls until you go in to explore, It’s another world behind the old prison stone walls, just realised an entire commercial area exists there with cinema, shops, supermarkets and restaurants. This old prison are very clean, ample parking space with wheelchair access. There are benches out in the front to bask in the sun while enjoying coffee. Did I mention there are Brewdog there? I really enjoyed my stay here.

The ghost tour of D division was a very unique way of seeing and hearing of stories of life in prison. Definitely not the place you would want to be incarcerated in.

I've been here a few times for various reasons, its such an endearing and interesting place! Plenty of food and drink options, as well as stores and activities. Never had an issue getting parking and have always had a good time. I recommend going and just enjoying the relaxing vibes and quaint scenery.

Visited here as the Distinguished Gentlemans Ride finished here in 2023. Nice grassed areas as well as the historic jail. Shops, eateries apartments, and cinema are within the complex. I would definitely recommend a visit to this site if you get the chance. I think you can even do jail tours, which would be a unique experience.
