πŸšŒπŸ”’ KINGSTON PENITENTIARY DAY TRIP: PRISON TOUR, WATERFRONT & DINNER πŸ”’πŸšŒ

A Full-Day Adventure Outside the City
This is one of our bigger trips β€” and one of the most unique.

We’re heading to Kingston to visit the iconic Kingston Penitentiary β€” one of Canada’s most historic and well-known prisons.

Opened in 1835, this former maximum-security prison housed some of the country’s most notorious inmates and operated for over 180 years. Today, it’s one of the most fascinating behind-the-scenes tours you can experience.

Expect:

πŸ”’ Real prison ranges and cells
πŸ“– Stories of inmates and guards
🚢 A guided tour through a piece of Canadian history
And we’ll make a full day of it β€” with time to explore Kingston, enjoy the waterfront, and grab dinner together.
