ππ KINGSTON PENITENTIARY DAY TRIP: PRISON TOUR, WATERFRONT & DINNER ππ
A Full-Day Adventure Outside the City
This is one of our bigger trips β and one of the most unique.
Weβre heading to Kingston to visit the iconic Kingston Penitentiary β one of Canadaβs most historic and well-known prisons.
Opened in 1835, this former maximum-security prison housed some of the countryβs most notorious inmates and operated for over 180 years. Today, itβs one of the most fascinating behind-the-scenes tours you can experience.
Expect:
π Real prison ranges and cells
π Stories of inmates and guards
πΆ A guided tour through a piece of Canadian history
And weβll make a full day of it β with time to explore Kingston, enjoy the waterfront, and grab dinner together.
