Adelaide Gaol Ghost Tours

We pride ourselves on having the largest collection of original, authentic and spooky stories relating to the Adelaide Gaol.

You may even get to contact one of our ghostly inmates!

Twilight Tours

Our Twilight Tours are a family-friendly journey into the dark and dangerous past of the Adelaide Gaol. Designed for the family and younger visitors, the paranormal content of our Twilight Tours is modified to a milder, friendlier look at our ghosts. Our Twilight Tours delve into the history of the Adelaide Gaol and some of the more colourful characters and their naughty deeds and exploits. 

During a Twilight Tour you will embark on a 90-minute adventure that covers approx 1.3 km through the whole of the Gaol grounds including the Induction Centre, Museum, Graves area, Remand Cells, the New Building, various ‘Yards’ and much more. 

Our knowledgeable and experienced guides are your companions on this journey. They’re not just experts in Adelaide Gaol history; they’re also storytellers and love to share tales passed down from ex-prisoners. 

A Twilight Tour at Adelaide Gaol offers an enchanting blend of history, mystery, and a touch of the supernatural. Ideal for families and young adventurers, it’s a chance to explore the eerie side of history in a fun and educational way.
