Welcome to Maitland Gaol                      

Maitland Gaol has a vibrant history spanning more than 150 years.

After housing some of Australia's most hardened and notorious criminals, Maitland Gaol closed in 1998.

The cell doors have now been swung open, with visitors invited to ‘serve time’ learning about the facility, past prisoners and daring escapes.

Open 7 days, Maitland Gaol offers visitors the opportunity to indulge in a world class self-guided audio tour. Additionally, themed-guided tours and torchlight tours by night are regularly available and are a great way to interpret this unique attraction. Only the brave can battle a group sleepover night.

The Gaol is also burgeoning as a venue of choice for special events and functions.
