For 170 years, the three story, bluestone Geelong Gaol has overlooked the town of Geelong from behind its imposing gates. For 138 years it was a place of incarceration for men, women and children from all walks of life serving sentences imposed by the law of Geelong.
Today the Geelong Goal Museum is open to the public with a range of exhibitions from Stitched Up exploring the clothing of male convicts, Saga behind the Armour exploring the Kelly gang story to the brutal conditions prisoners endured and the execution display exploring the story of 6 men lost their lives at Geelong.

Museum open 12-5 everyday
Ghost Tours available 7 nights a week
