Closed for the Season

The tours of the historic Kansas State Penitentiary are now closed for the season. We will resume tours on April 10th, 2026. Visitors are already signing up for April and May to get their dates on the calendar, and you might consider doing the same.

With no heat inside the buildings and the cold north wind sweeping through the grounds, winter is not the ideal time to explore the penitentiary. We look forward to welcoming you back in the spring!
