I enjoyed my visit to the prison immensely, as I have an interest in old gaols. It is a beautiful building and a great story. It reminded me of the old Ballarat Gaol seen on Ballarat's eerietours.com.au which is also a wonderful experience and I also highly recommend! People like me who travel to see places of interest to them would love both these destinations.
