Worth a visit

Well worth a visit. It was bigger than I thought it would be and took us about 2 hours to visit. Some sad stories along the way. The auto guide is very informative.

Simply brilliant

Fantastic experience. Went on the guided tour run by the museum with Chloe. She was an engaging and informative guide. The museum gives a fantastic insight into the history surrounding the gaol. All our family greatly enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend.

“The building is in good nick” 😉

Having chosen the guided tour we were not disappointed “Rowen” our guide was brilliant and imparted a lot of information on our walk round. Rowen was very informative, she kept us amused recounting stories as we went along. The building is in good nick pardon the pun, the wax figures very realistic, the tour is reasonably priced, well worth taking.

Outstanding guided tour

This is well worth a visit. Our guide Ciara was outstanding with a wealth of information during our walk around this 19th century impressing stone building.

Well put together tour for groups and solo guests

Great way to kill some time and learn about the history of Cork City Gaol. Highly recommend doing the audio tour. That way you can explore and hear everything without having to stop and read about it.
