Cop or Robber?
Experience both sides of the law in our police station

The historic Water Police Station comes to life with true tales of courageous cops and rotten robbers. Use your detective skills to track down the thief known as 'The Duchess' and unleash your criminal cunning to plot an escape from our holding cell.

Bushrangers Behind Bars
Guilty or not guilty - you decide!

Step into the shoes of a notorious bushranger and take to the stand to plead your innocence. Or perhaps you'd prefer the barrister's wig to test your powers of persuasion? Whatever your choice, take on a character and play your part in an exciting mock trial; and see first-hand how a 19th century magistrates court put Sydney's infamous criminals behind bars.

Murder in the Museum
Shocking tales from Sydney's past (adults only)

Come and hear the salacious stories of bushranger Andrew George Scott, alias Captain Moonlite, and Henry Louis Bertrand - aka 'the mad dentist of Wynyard Square.' Hear uncensored stories while seated within the Water Police Court, where these two criminals once stood trial. For those interested in the seedier side of Sydney ! Recommended for ages 16+.
