Only open for 2 days a year for this special event!! Visit Winnipeg’s very own Victorian gaol and hear true crime stories about rapscallions, bootleggers, soiled doves and murderers. Stand in cells that held the undesirables from the Winnipeg General Strike, the infamous Gorilla Strangler, solitary confinement and more! For 50 years this building and the people who passed through it changed both local and Canadian history for the good and the bad. Join us for this unique experience and discover Winnipeg’s darker side of history! Commemorate your visit with a jail t-shirt, books and more!
Please note this event is best suited for ages 12 and over.
On both days guided tours with historical reenactments will run every 20 minutes starting at 9:00am, with the last tour departing at 4:00pm. Tours will be approximately 75 minutes in length with a maximum of 40 guests. No registration required!
