The Old Melbourne Gaol is open daily from 9.30 to 4.30, except Christmas Day and Good Friday. Visitors should allow themselves between 45 minutes and one hour for their self-guided tour. You should also allow time to visit our shop and also take a look at the main entrance to the Gaol which was built in Franklin Street in the 1860's. The Gaol welcomes wheelchair visitors and there are no steps at the entrance. However, due to the construction of the Gaol, wheelchair access is only available to the ground floor.
Stairways lead to the upper two floor levels.
Our trained guides are pleased to offer personal tours to disabled visitors.
