Wicklow Historic Gaol

Well worth a visit..Untainted and beautifully produced. Fair play to Wicklow county council..Delighted I went there. Two hours is plenty. There isa wee shop with nice NON PUSHY sales people. Also FREE parking fir 3 hours. Very handy if you want to walk down to the sea shore and old black castle ruins.

Fantastic goal. Def recommend the VR tour, lovely start being locked in a cell. Take all the time you need to look around & see & read everything.....you may be" joined" by inmates, we were.

It was good. But not brilliant. QR codes didn’t work. Too many written info boards. It would have been superb with audio guide. Enjoyed it though.

A wonderful place, a wonderful museum and prison with a difficult and dark history, but I definitely recommend a visit.

Well worth the visit, the displays are set in number order, so easy to navigate round and not to miss anything the staff were amazing and very friendly, there were toilets and plenty of seating unfortunately the day we went the restaurant wasn't open

Great place with a lot of history. Plenty of interactive rooms. Would recommend!

Great place to visit, interesting and entertaining, VR experience definitely worth the extra, shame cafe was closed, bit chilly so take a coat.

Anyone who is able to visit before the council take over running the site at the end of September 2025 should do so in a heartbeat. The staff - particularly the matron - are absolutely FABULOUS and very accommodating of disabilities/ access needs. They took it upon themselves to maneuver myself and my wheelchair through the facility safely, and went above and beyond to give me and my family the best experience possible. It is such a shame these lovely people are being made redundant due to the takeover as they are definitely the sole reason the gaol is so good and their evident love for what they do is completely infectious!
