Visitor Information Centre at Hobart recommended to visit this place with a tour otherwise would have missed the experience. It was a long but beautiful walk from there. There are different tour timings, my child was given a treasure hunt activity. The tour was with a passionate historian. Hearing the harsh brutal reality of female convicts can be a bit disturbing but recommend the tour.

We went all out and did both the tour and the dramatisation, along with standard entry, and it was well worth it. We absolutely got the full picture of the harsh reality that female convicts faced on arrival at the Female Factory. The information boards are chronological and informative and take about 30 mins to read through. An audio guide is available through a QR code on your phone and this also clearly explains each yard of the historic site. All staff seemed passionate about their role in sharing the plight of these women. Easy free parking along the local streets. Spotlessly clean toilets in this brand new building. We visited on a Summer day with intermittent sunshine and we were very cold, so dress warmly as much of the visit is outside. Allow at least two hours if you are interested in this part of history.

Went on site tour with Molly who was passionate and informative. Unfortunately did not see the one woman show but Molly brought stuff to life for us. Thoroughly recommend .

Visiting the Female Factory in Hobart was really worthwhile. We saw the one woman play and attended the tour which really helps to give the context to the story of this terrible place. The actor and tour guide were so passionate and committed to telling the stories of the women and children who had been forced to live within the walls of this prison in our recent history.

Make sure you see the one woman show!
The Proud and the Punished performance tells the story of Sarah Mason – a petty criminal sentenced to seven years transportation for stealing a pair of boots.
It’s a 40-minute tour that ties together historical accounts of six different characters at the Female Factory - the actress was amazing - switching between three women convicts, a free woman who worked at the factory, a male pastor and a 9 yo boy who lived in the factory.
The performance provides an excellent history of the factory and there is a Q&A afterward. The performance pulls you in from the start and the couple of songs really tug the heart strings - my friend was holding back tears.

Came here 4 years ago and did the tour, loved it so much that I brought my family along. What a mistake! HUGE disappointment. All the original artifacts were gone, convict stories completely watered down, matrons house closed, only thing left was a gravel pit. There used to be a book with a list of children’s names and what they died from and letters from the 1800’s - all gone. In fact everything that made Cascades Female Factory a worthwhile experience was gone. Fancy new building but no authenticity. We paid $110 what a complete rip off. I do not recommend. Don’t waste your time.

Dear Ellie,
Thank you for letting us know of your experience and I can see that you feel disappointed.
We took the opportunity during the site’s redevelopment to improve its conservation and presentation. We opened in March 2022 with a new visitor information centre, new interpretation and tours of the yards. Rubble-filled gabions (among heritage sites, these are the tallest in the world), recreate the prison walls. Gravel areas and other markings outline the buildings and give some idea of the different sizes of the cells. A newly designed exhibition includes unseen items as well as loans from other collections. The previously displayed ‘artefacts’ were not all original and some facts had no historical basis. Much of the information such as the infants’ details has in fact been expanded and is displayed in Yard 4 which housed the last maternity hospital. This is perhaps the most emotive part of the site. Thanks to research done by staff and volunteers, we are continually improving our knowledge of what happened here. As a result of such work, we are about to open the Matron’s Cottage with new interpretation and an information point for visitors to discover potential ancestors. Similarly, we have refreshed our audio experience which will launch next week. None of our tours shy away from the details of the women’s experiences.
While we honour the inmates’ stories and acknowledge their hurt, we have highlighted how relevant this history is to today’s society. Visitors should now see the Female Factory as a World Heritage Site, a designation which is exactly that, a site that is of central importance and truth to Australia’s national and indigenous stories. That story is one which resonates with descendants here and far beyond our shores.

Although of historic significance, so little is left of the actual site that there isn't much to see other than the external walls and one small cottage which is closed. Its also mostly outside which isn't ideal in Hobart's weather! The museum section inside is very small and dominated by a video that seemed to consist mostly of children crying - not exactly a noise that encourages one to linger. I wouldn't go back, except for the shop which has an excellent range of convict history related books and gift items.

This was an amazing, educational, very moving experience and a definite must to join in the Proud and the Punished presentation. Yes the actual physical building is almost gone but the guided tour takes you through what actually occurred in our history through the stories of actual convicts and what it would have been like. The actress was incredible taking us back 200 years to experience the hardship of her life.it left me very moved.

An interesting place of history. However we were disappointed in how it was presented. There is not much of the place left at all, lots of it is open spaces with the missing walls marked out with wire walls filled with stones. No artefacts or anything in the "rooms".
It is also marred by the modern addition of the entry. Would be improved with more in depth stories of the women who were there and what happened to them as well as the ability to self tour the place without doing the tour or the performance.

The Female Factory was the female convict jail. Get there from the hop on hop off bus at stop J or K. You have to make sure that you get there to see the solo dramatic performance, if you dont, you wont grasp the whole point of the history of this site. Ring ahead, find what times the dramatic performance is in and make sure you dont miss it. It puts the site into perspective.
