Boggo Road Gaol

We did the gaol tour today,was good, but it would have been so much better if other parts of the gaol were included. We saw two cell blocks and the recreational yard. I would have loved the tour to include the kitchens, governors office, workshops, and maybe the infirmary. Not sure it was worth the $60 for the two of us.

Booked and went on the ghost tour last night it was an amazing journey back in time. Great history, story telling and the atmosphere of the gaol really adds to it. Only been once before during the day for a school history excursion and both times I've had some kind of experience. If your a local or a tourist you'll really enjoy this gaol. Highly recommended A+++

Great Gaol experience, excellent guide who share shared lots of knowledge and history. Our Guide was very friendly, funny and interactive. Highly recommended this tour

I have been in this jail for two years now, and I must say it’s the best jail I’ve ever been to. The staff are courteous and professional, the food is nutritious and tasty, and the facilities are clean and modern. The cells are spacious and comfortable, with a TV, a fridge, and a private bathroom. The inmates are friendly and respectful, and there is a lot of camaraderie and support among us. The jail offers a variety of programs and activities to keep us busy and productive, such as education, vocational training, sports, arts, and therapy. The jail also has a library, a gym, a chapel, and a garden. The security is tight but fair, and the rules are clear and reasonable. I feel safe and cared for in this jail, and I have learned a lot from my experience here. I would highly recommend this jail to anyone who is looking for a place to serve their time with dignity and respect. It’s like a home away from home!

The history tour was educational, informative and interesting. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and professional. Love the stories about the famous escapologist and the black cat.Recommended to anyone for this 90 minutes tour, tourists or local residents, to learn a slice of Brisbane jail history. You should also go to St Helena Island if you are particularly interested in jails.

Very interesting historical site. The ghost tour was cool but went on too long I think. I would suggest cutting it back to 1.5 hours at the most as it keeps up the pace and audience interest. 2 hours is a long time to spend on your feet.Saw cell blocks D & E, heard a couple of stories but no ghosts.

Tour guide was very good and friendly. The goal itself is an interesting & terrible place at the same time. Definitely worth a visit especially for those Brisbane residents who remember it. Good value for the cost.

Visited boggo road gaol today for the history tour which was very informative. The tour guide provided a huge amount of information and was able to any questions. Parking is very easy and the gaol is all accessible by wheelchair except for the upstairs area.

It was interesting but I think we would have enjoyed one of the day tours more. We did the ghosts and gallows night tour. Took one photo and when I checked it later on there was an unexplained shadow which wasn't there when I took the photo.

Firstly, Heather, our tour guide were great at handling COVID19. She was ready to check-in everyone as we arrive. Check-in was really smooth and easy.It a great place to visit and learn about the history behind the gaol. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The stories from our guide and graffiti on the walls bring us into the stories. We took our kids there to let them know how old the facilities were during the old days.Room for improvement:It will be better to include more areas like their kitchen, workshops, laundry, gaol guillotine and hanging area. This will take you to 5 stars ratings.
