Book Direct with the Owner at Fremantle Prison with Accommodation Kalgoorlie in Fremantle, for all your Attraction and travel needs.
Fremantle Prison is one of Western Australia's premier cultural heritage sites and tourist attractions. It is the state's only world heritage-listed building and the only world heritage-listed site in the Perth metropolitan region.
Built by convicts in the 1850s, Fremantle Prison was used as a place of incarceration for 136 years before being decommissioned as an operating maximum security gaol in 1991.
Visitors can 'step inside and do time' with Fremantle Prison's experienced guides on a range of fascinating tours. 'Convict Prison', 'Behind Bars' and 'True Crime' tours highlight convict and prison life, daring escapes and colourful characters in tales laced with prison humour. Visitors with a spirit for adventure can descend 20 meters below the Prison to explore a one-kilometre labyrinth of tunnels by foot and by boat on a 'Tunnels Tour' or delve into the darker side of the Prison's history at night on a spooky 'Torchlight Tour'.
In addition to its guided tours, Fremantle Prison also features exhibitions in the Prison Gallery, Interpretive Visitor Centre, an onsite cafe and an award-winning gift shop.
Fremantle Prison has also won two Australian Tourism Awards for Cultural Tourism - Gold in 2017 and Bronze in 2018.
