Spending at least a whole day at Port Arthur is recommended. We stayed until 5 pm when the grounds shut, went back to the motel for dinner, then went back to Port Arthur to join the ghost tour! The stories of the people who lived at Port Arthur are fascinating. The site is very well presented and some of the old homes on the site that are still intact are decorated with period furniture, so you can really imagine people living there. If you love your history, beautiful old buildings and ruins or even just a pretty bit of scenery, Port Arthur is a must. The hot chocolate from the cafe on site is delicious too!
