Halloween at Old Melbourne Gaol

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.

Throw on your creepiest costume and join a night of playful scares, unexpected delights and memories you’ll want to share (or maybe not!).

After a sold out night in 2024, Halloween at Old Melbourne Gaol returns bigger, bolder and spookier than ever. But beware – tickets vanish quickly… and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Your spookiest Halloween adventure starts here. Will you take the dare?
