Fremantle Prison is one of Western Australia’s most fascinating and significant educational attractions. The Prison remains the largest convict built structure in the Southern Hemisphere and the most intact convict establishment in the entire country. It is currently the only World Heritage listed building in Western Australia.
The Prison offers a range of fun and educational school excursions, all designed to keep your students interested whilst learning. From a standard tour of the Prison during the day, a spooky Torchlight Tour at night or an adventurous Tunnels Tour underneath the Prison - we will be pleased to focus your tour on any key area of interest.
Fremantle Prison offers students from Kindergarten to Year 12 a wealth of information and experiences to make a visit truly worthwhile.
Schools can choose from:
Prison tours - choose from a variety of themed tours of the Prison grounds and cellblocks, including a Modern History Tour, Convict History Tour or combine both as part of a combo tour or extend as part of a package
Tunnels tours - an exciting underground tour through a 1km labyrinth of tunnels beneath the Prison, designed to mentally and physically challenge your group (minimum age 12 years old). Limited numbers apply.
Torchlight tours - available on Wednesday or Friday evenings, or by special request, a great way to reward your students (not recommended for children under 10 years old).
A range of educational resources aligned to the Australian Curriculum are also available to download from www.fremantleprison.com.au for free.
