Cork City Gaol is a unique Attraction that combines historical relics, cultural education and interactive experience. It is not only a well-preserved 19th-century prison building, but also a window for visitors to gain a deeper understanding of Irish history and the judicial system. There are several exhibition areas in the prison, which tell visitors about the history of the prison and the lives of prisoners through physical displays, multimedia technology and interactive devices. Visitors can visit the original cells, guardhouses and execution rooms to experience the harsh atmosphere of the prison at that time. The prison also displays the stories of political prisoners imprisoned here during the Irish independence movement, allowing visitors to understand this important period of history. The prison has specially set up a role-playing experience, where visitors can play the role of prisoners or prison guards, participate in simulated prison life, and experience the feelings of different roles. This immersive experience allows visitors to have a deeper understanding of the prison's history and cultural background. Through games and storytelling, children can learn about historical knowledge and cultivate their interest in history.
