Highlights

Ready for a chilling trip into history? Step inside Pentridge Prison, Victoria's most significant 19th-century prison complex, and prepare for an unsettling but essential historical journey. This experience lets you explore the infamous B Division, tracing the lives of inmates and warders from 1851 to 1997. You'll feel the shivers of the past as you walk the same trails as its elusive former residents, all under the imposing gaze of the old guard tower.


The centerpiece of your visit is the notorious H Division, which inmates grimly nicknamed "Hell Division". Here, a guided tour, enhanced with state-of-the-art audio technology, unseals the maximum-security unit. Get a candid look at the stark realities and dark secrets of life within H Division—don't just read about history, immerse yourself in it.

  • Uncover Dark Secrets: Take an eye-opening walk through the notorious H Division, also known as "Hell Division".
  • Explore Historic Divisions: Discover the secrets and stories behind the erstwhile B Division and the maximum-security unit.
  • Audio-Immersive Tour: Experience a state-of-the-art guided tour using advanced audio technology.
  • Historic Landmark: Step inside Victoria's magnificent and historically essential 19th-century prison complex.
