About

Opened in 1862, Napier Prison is New Zealand's oldest penal complex.

Open daily for self-guided tours, guided tours, school trips and scary night tours. This historical site can also be used for group functions including office parties and birthdays.

Things to see on the tour include the Hanging Yard, Solitary Confinement, The Graveyard, The Mess Hall, The Hole and multi cell complex. Read prisoner grafitti and see where an infamous Drug Baron and "Eye-Eater" were locked up.
