FAQs
- How to the Geelong Gaol?
Getting to the Gaol
The Old Geelong Gaol sits at 202 Myers St, right in Central Geelong, a little over an hour from Melbourne by car or train.
By train: Geelong Station is a short trip from Melbourne, and Dark Cellars runs a free shuttle straight from the station to the gaol and back. No car, no problem.
By car: Metered and paid parking is available around Central Geelong. We'll always suggest getting the shuttle if you're planning on tasting your way through the afternoon.
Making a day of it: Central Geelong's bars, restaurants and waterfront are a five-minute walk away, so there's no reason to rush off once you're released.
- Is there an age limit?
Yes, Dark Cellars is strictly 18+.
- Is there parking at the venue?
Metered and paid parking is available in Central Geelong, a short walk from the gaol.
- Getting there: do I need a car?
No. A free shuttle runs between Geelong Station and the venue throughout the event. Trains from Melbourne take a little over an hour, and the shuttle picks up directly from the station.
- Is the venue accessible?
The ground floor is accessible via entry ramps. Upper-level access is via approximately 150 steps (top floor) due to the heritage nature of the building and cannot be modified. Companion Cards are accepted.
