Would do again - Really good experience, lots of history and a great way to waste an hour

Worth a look. - Went to see that Gaol it's worth a look, it was €12 per adult and €7.50 for child, it was nice to see a part of history of Cork, staff were friendly and the place is well looked after.

Well worth the walk - Quite a long walk there and back from Cork city centre but spent some couple of hours once there and worth visiting as it has been rescued from dereliction. The included leaflet is enough to guide you round and there is a small gift shop serving hot drinks as well. Still lots of renovation required for the outer buildings but good to see. Tells the tales of the poor souls sent there and their punishment.

Excellent tour. Learn the stories of the inmates who were jailed here. - You can immediately tell that this historic site has a lot of supporters who are passionate about this project. Instead of just "This is the xxx room" the tour told the story of numerous inmates and their experiences. There was even one cell where you could close the door to get an idea of the experience of the inmate. Very well done.

Great experience, incredible staff - Really good pricing especially for students only being 9.50 Euros with a guide leaflet included give great information on clearly marked areas in the Gaol. I went with friends and it was a great experience, really fun and interesting with the staff being lovely and very helpful giving great insight on the site and giving recommendations of things to do and places to go for the rest of the trip. Highly recommend!

Well worth a visit - Good experience and well worth a visit, would recommend getting audio guide

Well worth a visit - This is a very Interesting look back at the history and conditions of this jail. It is extremely well set out and staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

Worth the time spent - Not an excessive price for the attraction it is. Had a guided tour by a lady who presented the history very well, interesting and entertaining. Interesting stories told, interesting things to see and learn about, probably a 50 walk from the city centre, but a pleasant walk if not raining!!

Really interesting but Disabled visitors beware. - Really informative visitor attraction, with subjects to appeal to families as well as adults. I would hope that other areas could be opened up, and greater explanation of how the grounds were used. There really is scope for so much more. On the positive side, every team member encountered after the admissions desk, was incredibly informative and helpful. I say that because:- On the negative side: as an obviously physically disabled visitor, absolutely no access assistance was offered. Even when I pointed out the conundrum of disabled parking spaces immediately adjacent to the flight of steep stone stairs to access the Gaol. I further prompted, asking about access to the main buildings. The response was that I would have to navigate the flight of stairs to get through the gardens. This flight of NINETEEN stairs poses considerable challenges if, like me, you have mobility issues. I later learned that the facility is prepared to offer vehicular acces- if you are in a wheelchair. Obviously having severely restricted walking capacity and almost no abilities to climb stairs (at least one of which had no handrails, that being at the front of the main building before the governor office) was insufficient to prompt any offer of assistance from reception staff. I was assured that I would miss very little by being deprived of the chances to visit first and second floors. The gift shop was very reasonably priced and worth looking through. I can't help feeling that an actual coffee shop facility would be better received. Not least because a seat to enjoy a hot drink would be much appreciated after the exercise taken. Overwhelming recommendation has to be- Disabled visitors think carefully and don't go unless you've called or emailed to secure access assistance. Sadly for me, this was an unplanned visit, and one which I will take a few days to rest and recover from.

Girl with glasses - Great expirerence and reasonable pricing. Only issue was the girl ( small with glasses) working in arrival. I had arrived after a long bus journey and needed the bath room. She point blank refused me until she found out I was paying. As I. Was finishing the tour and leaving a young man came in and polity asked to use the bathroom to which she refused. He pleaded thst there was no where in the area he coukd use and said he had been to the jail on many times and to the Harry Potter showing in the summer. She still would not let him . Left a sour taste after a nice experience.
