Wasn't expecting much but I have to say this was a great visit! Lots of interesting things to see. Staff were all very pleasant. Liked the staff dressed in the period costumes! My kids enjoyed being locked up by the prison guard. Good fun. It was sad to think of all the hard times people went through in the jail. Those walls could tell a story or two! All in all would recommend, and my kids also enjoyed it.

Four long-time friends, all of us in our sixties, visited the jail whilst on a coach trip around the area. We were unsure whether we should tour the jail due to the fact that we only had two hours in Inveraray, but the very nice lady in the ticket office told us that we should be able to get round the jail in about an hour, so we paid for our tickets which cost us £25.90 per couple as we are seniors. We were totally glad that we took the advice of the member of staff as it was a fascinating place to spend just over an hour. We decided not to use the complimentary audio guide as we were also told that there was plenty of information in all the areas of the jail, which was spot on as there is a huge amount of facts on boards in the jail. We had a really good time exploring this intriguing building and I would highly recommend it if you are in the area.

Spent nearly 2 hours on this visit, had previously seen the jail on TV so decided to take a walk round. Met the amazing staff during our tour who gave us a real insight into what the jail would have been like back in the day, he even allowed us to experience the outdoor exercise area 'locked' behind bars, there are lots of interactive areas through the tour. A somber building with lots of rooms showing the real reality of being admitted to Inveraray. The tour shows the changes in rules and regulation for offenders from the past through to the present day. Very interesting even a little bit spooky at times but a great way to understand the history. Well worth a visit, a fun day out!

We arrived Sunday 28th January. The experience was great fun, well informed and all staff on shift were helpful, insightful and encouraged participation. The two ladies on reception were lovely. Very patient and helpful when we were buying our online tickets. A fantastic experience!

Inveraray Jail is very much worth a visit with lots of fascinating information on the history of this unique visitor attraction. A warm welcome awaits the guest on arrival and guests are offered an audio guide (I think these are complimentary) Please be aware that due to this attractions originality it can be challenging for guests with accessibility issues and not suitable for wheelchair users. (Due to the originality of the building and the layout) it is after all a prison… Take your time and soak up the atmosphere, engage with the guides who are in period costume, they have lots of interesting tales to tell…

Really enjoyed our visit to Inveraray Jail, and loved the waxworks. There's lots to learn, see and do. The staff and jailers are really friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Admission price was ok.

Informative visit to find out about life in prison 1800's. Make sure you get a headpiece to listen to as you go around the prison (it would of taken 30mins without it). Cost £31.00 and took us 1hr to get around. It's fantastic that you get to visit the actual prisons used to house prisoners, makes you realise how hard prison life was then and how easy it is now in comparison.

Attended with husband and 3 young children. I highly recommend this over the castle for family friendliness. Staff are all so welcoming, good fun for kids. Choice to read information or headphone sets for Audio tour if preferred so everyone could enjoy the experience.

I wasn't sure what to expect here. How can an old jail be interesting? But the staff here did a good job setting up a wonderful interactive and interesting journey through criminality when this jail was built. Good for history buff, kiddos, and interested tourists. A little pricey.

This was such a great visit. So interesting and very helpful and informative members of staff on hand to keep you informed. Would definitely recommend this be added to your itinerary whilst visiting the area. We were on a weekend break to Oban and got the local bus to here which took just over an hour. Bus stop is 2 minutes from the jail and had just over 4 hours stay. Plenty wee souvenir shops and nice lounge bar in the Inveraray Inn to spend your time.
