Presented by: Adelaide Gaol
The Adelaide Gaol is one of the oldest remaining colonial public buildings in Adelaide and is the site of some of the State's more interesting, grisly past.
Operating as a prison from 1841 to 1988 and having held over 300,000 prisoners during this time, Adelaide Gaol has transformed from an institute of punitive justice to an icon of history and tourism. Here, visitors can step back in time and experience life behind bars, walking in the footsteps of prisoners, learning about local history, and discovering some of the state’s darkest tourism.
Explore our escape cells and step into the shoes of prisoners from the past and see if you have what it takes to crack the codes and make your escape.
