Bring the kids to Bodmin Jail!
Why Bodmin Jail?
Do your kids have a passion for history? Engage them with the past at Bodmin Jail, the home of immersive heritage. Following an £8.5 million investment, we can transport your family to the Georgian and Victorian eras, show-casing the fascinating changes to true crime and punishment over a 250 years.
Its all about the kids
With family standard entry tickets on offer, you can explore the prison and its past at your own pace. Or you can join one of our amazing Heritage Guides on the Junior Jailers Tour. Running every Saturday at 10.30, this 1.5 hour tour is designed with kids in mind, presenting our world-class history in a cool and engaging way.
Our Heritage Guides have won the VisitEngland ‘Best Told Story’ award and are winners in Cornwall Tourism Awards. See what some of our guests think:
