Relive history and uncover the sinister secrets of Wicklow Gaol with this fascinating tour. Experience prison life as it was for 18th century prisoners during a turbulent time in Irish history, as shown in the museum.
Travel back in time and experience the prison life of the 18th century inmates of Wicklow Gaol. After meeting the jailer or matron, enter the Gates of Hell to begin your semi-guided tour of this fascinating museum.
After descending the small spiral staircase, learn from your guide about the prison's grim past. Find out about the crimes committed by those arrested, the number of prisoners held in Wicklow and the torture methods used on them. Learn the terrifying tales of Wicklow's famous prison inmates and hangmen!
Do you feel your spine running through dungeons? Ask your guide about reports of unusual activity. Bring the prisoner experience to life using realistic mannequins, holograms and film. As you explore the museum, the young inmates can pass or fail a fun quiz that you can check at the end of your tour. The prison will determine your luck to get a special release form based on your behavior on your trip!
