We recently took a trip to blackpool and having never been wanted to do the usual blackpool tower attraction and when we got to the tower we decided to pay £30 for tickets for the circus tower and dungeon.

Owner description:
Delve into Blackpool’s most horrible history at the Blackpool Tower Dungeon - experience live actors, thrilling rides and exciting special effects. Step back into the darkest of times… are you brave enough to face 70 minutes of Blackpool’s dark past?Prepare to be scared as you are hurled into Blackpool’s most horrible history, from terrors in the torture chamber to the pestilence of the plague. Pay attention – the 18th century courtroom is in session and you will be judged for your crimes. All are guilty until proven guilty and the Dungeon torturer is waiting to show you his favourite instruments!Stumble if you dare into the murky cave of Skippool Creek, where smugglers plot under the foul cover of darkness. Surrender your bounty or prepare to face their wrath…Creep through the woods of Pendle, where hanged witches swing in the trees, punished for their devilish arts. But the witch hunt is not yet over, where will you run when the Witch Hunters strike? Will you too be sentenced to hang? Condemned without trial and with no chance to escape, steel yourself to plummet into oblivion on Extremis: Drop Ride to Doom.As the darkest secrets of Blackpool’s grisly past raise themselves around you…will you survive?

This is fairly new so have been looking forward to the experience. The staff are brilliant with some excellent acting ensuring lots of interaction. Pretty scary in parts, if you are claustrophobic or afraid of the dark obviously wouldn't recommend. The ride at the end is a great finish to the experience. Would recommend to all as it a full...

Owned by Merlin Entertainments, the same guys behind Alton Towers..etc. These Dungeon experiences are a cool way to get a bit of local history in the city they are based in. Edinburgh, York, London...etc all have rich and bloody histories that are ripe for these attractions to capitalise on and Blackpool, based in a region known for the plague, witchcraft...

We had a 241 voucher which was good but the tickets weren't outrageously priced anyway. I had to pluck up the courage to do this. The actors were great. Very informative and scary! I was put in a cage in the torture part.. The hanging was a nice surprise too. The gift shop was great too. We spent ages in...

One of the best attractions we visited. Great staff, great atmosphere, great fun! The "judge" on the day (8th May) was fabulous - in fact, all of the actors were. Thoroughly enjoyed it - and the wild ride at the end was AMAZING!!!! ☼

We were a bit aprehensive about this one, but as we had bought the big ticket for 6/7 attractions (one is for kids only) we went. It was a marvelous bit of theatre and well worth going to. I wasn't actually scared its a bit jumpy which makes you laugh (nervously sometimes) out loud, but very entertaining. Only thing I...
