Step into the past and visit Napier Prison. With over 130 years as an operating Prison, Napier Prison housed men, women and children. The Prison not only contained criminals: it was also a place of execution and a home of the mentally unwell.
From the surrounding walls to the foundations, the buildings of Napier Prison that remain offer a unique connection to the stories of those who spent time within its walls.
They closed their doors for inmates in 1993 and are now open for daily self-guided tours, as well as special events and escape rooms. Since closing to prisoners, Napier Prison has welcomed television and film crews, paranormal societies, psychics, wedding parties, fashion shows and more.
