Fremantle Prison is a fascinating and significant cultural attraction in Western Australia. It is the largest convict built structure in Western Australia and the most intact convict establishment in the nation. In 2010, Fremantle Prison became the first building in Western Australia to be included on the World Heritage list. Decommissioned as a maximum security goal in 1991, the prison was continuously used as a place of incarceration for almost 140 years. With death row, solitary cells and gallows, it is a monument to a system of punishment that is uncomfortably recent.

Since opening to the public in 1992, Fremantle Prison has developed into a successful tourist attraction and welcomes thousands of visitors through it’s gates each year. Entry to the Gatehouse is free of charge and includes the Convict Cafe, Gift Shop, Prison Gallery and an interactive Visitor Center. The highlight of a visit to the prison is the entertaining tours conducted by experienced tour guides who bring the rich folklore and stories of the prison to life. With a choice of intriguing day tours, spine chilling torchlight tours and extreme heritage tunnels tour adventures, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
