This was a pleasant surprise. My expectations were fairly low, but we’re exceeded. This is a very cool walk through an old structure that has a pretty rich history. There are life size figures throughout and a number of interactive audio visuals. There was a small gift shop with snacks etc in it. This is indoors and outdoors with staircases. It can be a bit chilly indoors as it is all stone. There are bathrooms inside. Fun place to check out if in Cork.
Highly recommended. Free short term parking outside enough time for visit. Sad but interesting history. Lovely grounds. On top of hill with views of CorkVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
It's an interesting museum and a beautiful building with a small, well kept garden. On the second floor there are some interactive games to play.Wait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedNot sure
Took the tour to hear stories of why the prisoners were there. Most were petty crimes, understandable during those times...a place to sleep and food to eat. Nice tour...guide was very informative.Visited onPublic holidayWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedNo
We a late 30's couple enjoyed our trip here. We went on a Saturday and it still wasn't too busy. It's worth paying the extra couple of euro for the audio tour. We spent a couple of hours here, including the Radio Museum and found it value for money.
You can also buy tickets at the counter. No waiting. Audio Visual is the part I like most.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Ticket costs 10€ for adults 8.5€ for students. It's a good place to know about the history of the Cork. Ticket comes with a map of the place, everything well explained, signs everywhere. It is a big building sonypu can spend about an hour there. There is also a small giftshop inside. After visiting the building you can walk around the gardens.
A unique historic and audio guide experience. Allow 45mins to 1 hour. Works well as part of a 1 day Cork visit on foot if you prefer to tour without public transport.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
The Gaol is a great morning out. They always have something on to help engage the kids, be it a story teller or quiz with prize at the end. It has a really interesting history. Note part of this is on the second floor with steps up so take that into account when visiting. Cannot recommend highly enough. I have gone with 8 year olds and 10 year olds.
This historical site receives high regards from almost who visit. While the grounds and buildings were beautiful, the historical site haunts with the retelling of those imprisoned here. So, while beautiful and impressive, it’s a saddening tourist attraction in my view. I suggest the audio tour unless you enjoy reading to learn about each numbered station. The wax figurines make for an engaging visit and retell the stories of those imprisoned here. Bathrooms on site… costs about $8-10 per person to visit. I’m
