My visit to the Hobart Convict Penitentiary was a memorable and enriching experience. The admission fee of $25/pax includes a 90-minute guided tour, which also features a 30-minute film. It was our last stop in Tasmania, which completes the trip perfectly. The facilities were well-maintained, and the amenities provided were sufficient. The customer service and staff were friendly and helpful. The initial impression and atmosphere were eerie and captivating, as expected from a historical place museum. The quality of the tour and the information provided was top-notch. It was worth every penny, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hobart. The ambiance and decor added to the authenticity of the experience. Personal experiences may vary, but for me, it was a profound journey through history.
