There are three different self guided audio tours to choose from, each providing a different perspective of life behind the bars.
Maitland Gaol Revealed gives an in depth understanding of how prisoners wiled away the thousands of hours until their release. Secrets from former inmates and warders bring this tour to life.
Escaping Maitland Gaol leads through the maze of cells, divulging intricate details of the many escape attempts seen throughout the Gaol's 150 year history.
Snitch's Gaol Exploration is a children's tour narrated by ‘Snitch the rat', a ghostly character who leads children on an adventure through the cells.
The self guided tours are $22 for adults, $16 for concessions and children, or $64 for a family (two adults, two children). To pre-book a tour visit maitlandgaol.com.au, or book a tour on the night.
