Explore the female cells, great hall, and guard tower, and discover stories of hardship, resilience and reform. Friendly volunteer staff are on hand with rich local knowledge to bring it all to life. It’s a surprisingly family-friendly experience—interactive displays, historical role play areas and friendly volunteer staff make it easy to explore at your own pace. Even young kids love it (some don’t want to leave!). For the brave, stay after dark and try the Albany Self-Guided Ghost Tour—a spine-tingling walk through one of WA’s most haunted locations.

Albany Gaol Ghost Tour
Albany Convict Gaol Ghost Tour. Enter After Dark… If You Dare!
On select nights, the historic Albany Convict Gaol opens after dark for a chilling self-guided ghost tour through one of Western Australia’s most haunted heritage sites. This self-guided tour offers you the freedom to explore, uncovering the gaol’s rich history and hidden stories. Whether you’re a history lover, a thrill-seeker, or a skeptic—the experience will stay with you. Will you uncover the secrets that lie within its walls? The night is yours to discover. Built in 1852, many say the past hasn’t fully let go. Wander through the candlelit corridors at your own pace. Though other brave souls may be nearby, the shadows are yours to face. Visitors have long reported unexplained sounds: knocks, footsteps on empty floorboards, whispers in the dark, and doors slamming with no breeze. Some speak of feeling watched, others of something brushing past them in the shadows. Hear the whispers in Cell 25… Enter the pitch-black Black Hole, where 20 men were once confined. Visitors often report cold spots, flickering lights, phantom touches, and even the brush of a ghostly cat near Room 5. Not for the faint-hearted. This is not a performance. It’s real history—and real mystery. Bring a torch, check upcoming dates, and prepare for the unexpected.
