I've been to quite a few museums over the years, but never have I been to something as unusual and intriguing as this one! It's a one-of-a-kind place and I found it captivating wandering around the prison, looking inside of the cells, learning about prison history and so on. I appreciate that the museum really dives deep into explaining what life is like inside for the prisoners, the staff, and how it's run. If I find myself in Peterhead again, I'll definitely go back. The staff are great too.

I enjoyed it. We went as a spur of the moment idea and was better than I thought it would be. Staff were friendly enough, tour was enjoyable and enlightening.

This is easily the best tourist place we have seen in Scotland. The atmosphere, the headphones giving great but short explanations, the cafe. Some parts are just like they up and left in 2013 with nothing changed! Loved the creepy dirty protest and murder cells. Kids were blown away by it all. Spent 2 hours but would go back again for more. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed visiting the museum. We paid in advance on the Internet, you save a bit of money doing this. We came at about 10am, the place was nearly empty. It was really interesting to see what life was like on the inside. I don't use audio guides often but this one was really interesting and concise. Took us about 2 hours to visit it.

Really fantastic couple of hours. A great attraction that i wish i had visited sooner. Tour is done at your own pace with headphones and audio pack to describe various parts of the old prison. Some great stories of all kinds that go with the tour. Not for young ones, might get bored or scared!! I had 2 teenage boys with me and they thought it was magic.
