So this was my second attempt to see this place and again it was close. A man drove up and asked if I was in town visiting. He happened to be the VP of this historic site. Gave an unanticipated tour. What a blessing. Please support the site's history and the men and women who work in law enforcement. Blessings

Awesome self guided tour of this unique jail. Staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. If you're a historical buff or into the paranormal, this is up your alley. Would definitely go back.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10

Whether you're a nearby resident or passing through this is worth a visit.  This very unique historic building will transport you back in time during your self guided tour.  Everything from furnishings, to items in the inmate cells, to inmate graffiti are displayed as they were left when the inmates were removed in 1969.  Many items are preserved in place as they were installed in 1885! The self guided tour takes about an hour and has a lot of information along the way. Located near I-80 and I-29, it's a quick stop for travelers.

Such an interesting place! You'll take a self guided tour of the rotary jail. It is one of only three such jails left and the only one with three tiers. Metered parking available nearby as well as other attractions and historical sites. It's worth having a little time to visit! We also bought the book about the jail by S. M. Senden, which is very informative and well written.

Very interesting to hear about the jail was run, who had been prisoners there, and about the jail itself. The staff was very friendly, shared a lot of information, and was able to answer questions we had. We booked one of the night time "paranormal" tours. It was a lot of fun to wander through the building at night and though we didn't see any ghosts, we had a great time.

Great experience. A lot of historical items.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entry$6–10

Nice hosts. Oddball depression era relic museum. Kinda sad but interesting.  Takes about 30 minutes to tour. Less than $10 per person.

Visited as a part of Open Omaha. Certainly a hidden gem and a great way to spend an hour!

What a neat piece of history that I was completely unaware of! Lots of good info and very interesting old jail! I took my teen daughter and dad and we all thoroughly enjoyed it!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$16–20

I went before 1pm on Sunday, so it was closed. You can see the cage from the side windows. I wanted to come here because I saw it on Ghost Adventures on the Travel Channel. The building is a lot smaller than I thought it would be. There is parking on the side by the funeral home, and there are meters by Bayles Park.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
