Review of Napier Prison/ Citywalksz, Nap...

I enjoy going to old prisons with lots of history the spookier the better. I had originally asked to do a night tour on Halloween but was told they only done night tours during the summer, when we finally got there it was like walking into a old close down primary school, we then done the self guild audio tour, not that they gave us a choice, after awhile of listening to the audio we got bored and kept it off, also the numbers weren t very clear to follow as some numbers were right next to each other and some were so far apart we ended up in another part of the building, in one of the communal rooms there is a big notice board that had posters on when it had been a hostel and had not been there during the prison years. 20NZD too much money and a waste of time. also before going I read that the typical amount of time spent there is 1.5 hours so I thought that meant it would be good, I was there for no more than half an hour, and the area where the prisoners got hung is just a painting on a wall of a noose., the whole place was just a disappointment
