How Baby-Friendly is Crumlin Road Gaol Visitor Attraction and Conference Centre?

50%Baby-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 50% Baby-Friendly: Free baby-change tables and pram entry help, but narrow corridors, stairs in tunnel, no nursing room and little infant interest mean a visit is doable yet inconvenient and not especially rewarding.

Pleasantly surprised! Did the self guided tour, there wasn’t many other people there on a rainy Wednesday. It was very informative and gave haunted house vibes at times, a very immersive experience. Took around 1 1/2 hours to walk through and listen to the informative videos. Very friendly staff.
