Overview

Trial Bay Gaol in Arakoon National Park is brimming with stories. Join us these school holidays, as we explore the gaol and learn about its history. Its mysterious towers, impenetrable walls and rows of old cells are sure to ignite the imaginations of young and old alike.

There'll be fun activities, games and treasure hunting. We'll use photo cards to locate special items and places. Come and play some old-fashioned German games, including Kegel bowling. Build a wall just like the gaol's prisoners did. Search for the missing gaol keys to earn your release!

Don’t forget to wear enclosed shoes and a weather appropriate clothing. Bring along a small hand torch if the tour continues after sunset.
