"The three hour history tour did not disappoint! I have been two other times for the ghost overnight but I was really wanting to learn about the history of people and the spaces we were allowed to walk through. I definitely recommend this for all! I learned a lot and had a ton of fun."

"The tour was great. Our guides, Green and Fred were awesome. The best of both worlds. Heard stories from the perspective of a guard as well as a former inmate. Could not ask for better inside information. Both were passionate about the grounds and the different experiences they each had. A MUST do if you visit Jefferson City."

"Did the 3 Hour Paranormal Tour and I am anxiously waiting to go again when tours start back up. Would definitely say the most activity I experienced was in the Dungeon (Building 4) and Death Row (Basement of Building 2 I believe). The staff was BEYOND excellent and very knowledgeable and were kind enough to give little insider tips about what they have experienced and where. 10/10 would recommend."

"What a fun tour. Loved the personal stories of our tour guide who had worked in the prison! The prison played an exciting role in Missouri’s history!"

"My sons and I had a great time! We learned a lot about the prison and walking around it was really cool. The haunted tour at night was a blast! I can’t promise you’ll see ghosts but I know what I saw and heard. Go and enjoy the tour. And maybe you’ll experience the unexplained as well. It’s definitely worth it!!"

"This place was so impressive and mind-boggling. To think we were touring buildings predating the Civil War by decades. Such an education in the extremes of correctional facilities over the years. We had a lot of kids, teens, and adults in our group and everyone enjoyed the tour. So much history, so many stories, so many lives gone in and out of the Penitentiary over many eras. I can't wait to go again for the longer history tour! Our guide, Randy, was a wealth of information and made our visit extra enjoyable. Nadine was great too! Can't recommend enough!"
