First, I would like to remind everyone who has written a bad review to remember that his place is staffed by VOLUNTEERS. Please keep that in mind when you want to rant and rave about lack of service.

I took my twin t=boys and their 2 friends (all age 10) to the reformatoy. We had watch eht Shawshank Redemption before we went and looked for familiar things while we toured the building. Truly a fascinating place to visit! We all loved it. So much to see.

Beautiful building outside. I took the tour inside some ten years ago with my son and it was scary during the day. They have halloween tours now at night and I'm too scared to go!
