I particularly recommend the atmospheric night-time tour for an experience that is spooky and exciting, but also very interesting. The actor guides you around by candle light, and even locks you in a cell for a few moments. When I was there, they had a temporary exhibition of the Ned Kelly gang armour, which were incredibly evocative in their dramatic surroundings. Note that this might not be suitable for children!
