One of the two oldest public buildings in Adelaide, the Adelaide Gaol offers an atmospheric evening walking tour with a guide. You will explore the historic gaol as the guide shares its story, which dates back to the time of the early settlers. The tour focuses on the site’s past and the lives of the people who lived and worked there.

Along the way you'll hear about notable events and the gaol’s role in Adelaide’s history. The Adelaide Gaol is said to be the most haunted site in South Australia, and the guide will explain the stories behind that reputation. You may even come in contact with one of the ghostly inmates, though that possibility is never guaranteed. The experience combines local history, storytelling and the gaol’s eerie atmosphere to give you a memorable evening visit.
