Use the free CAT bus. Get off near the old market and it’s a 10 minute walk.

There are a multitude of options available, depending on which of the Prison Tours you would like to do - Convict Prison, Behind Bars or True Crime'.

The markets are a very short walk from the Prison and are open until 5pm on the weekend.

We booked when we got there. There are about 4 different types of tour, so you may wish to look if there is anything on their website so you can time your visit accordingly. We just turned up and took the first available tour. It was excellent.

Hi KathB35, unfortunately the stairs inside Fremantle Prison are open, however there are railings and additional netting installed. As an alternative, the Behind Bars tour is entirely on the ground floor of the Main Cell Block and does not involve any stairs.

Hi SuzannelL7938BV - Unfortunately, due to safety reasons you would not be able to take part in the tour. The weight restrictions are in place due to the legal weight capacities of the harnesses used on the ladder system. All participants for this tour are required to weigh between 40 - 140 kilograms and physically fit the safety equipment. The other three tours currently on offer, Doing Time, Great Escapes and Torchlight do not have weight restrictions.

Hi matsumomo - Fremantle Prison is only closed on Christmas Day (25th December) otherwise we are open daily from 9.00am - 5.00pm, and later on Wednesday and Friday evenings for Torchlight tours.

We are extremely busy from Boxing Day until mid January, we would recommend pre-booking your tours by telephone on +61 8 9336 9200, otherwise there can be a wait for the next available tour (sometimes up to 3 hours).
