Great Escapes Tour

       

From shackles and isolation, to walls, gates, gun towers and razor wire, Fremantle Prison was designed and built as a place of incarceration.

Join our experienced guides to see where many daring and dangerous escapes were attempted by convicts and prisoners alike.

Become acquainted with bushrangers and escape artists, such as Moondyne Joe, and marvel at his escape proof cell.

Discover Death Row — was death the only means of escape from Death Row?

View the location of the famous Rubbish Truck Heist as you patrol The Bank.

Explore the Women’s Prison and be led through the rifle range as we entertain you with the stories and folklore of successful and unsuccessful escape attempts.

Please note, conservation works are currently in progress in the Main Cell Block and access to some areas is restricted. Thank you for your patience.
