DO YOU DARE ENTER
This Halloween, Melbourne’s most notorious Gaol gets a playful frightful makeover – with thrills, chills and plenty of cheeky shrills. Step inside the shadowy corridors of the Old Melbourne Gaol and the Old City Watch House, transformed for one night only into a mischievous playground of costumes, candy, and curious characters.

> Monstrous Mugshot Station – strike your spookiest pose for the ultimate Halloween selfie.
> Trick-or-Treat Fun – with lollies for ghouls and goblins who dare to wander through.
Throw on your creepiest costume and join us for a night of playful scares, unexpected delights, and memories you’ll want to share (or maybe not!).
