I was so scared before entering here i though that we would be walking through dingy passages and that people would come out and scare you. I shouldn’t have worried because we had such a brilliant time. Before you go in you have a picture taken which you get to buy at the end if you want to. You then... More

We were on the last tour of the day, I tend to jump very easily, the interactive play acting was real. You must go.

my husband and daughter went in here and they loved it, it was gruesome but also funny. not recommended for kids under 10 or for people scared of the dark. tour lasts approx 70 mins but beware they get people up to do things.

Pre booked tickets on the web and got the tickets for half price. Overall experience enjoyable - the queue was long and we were in it for over 11/2 hrs, some annoying loudmouthed children in front of us, had a word with staff and result we didn't need to do the tour with them:) The staff were great, the atmosphere...

the staff in the dngeon where very polite. The gift shop was excellent, and very fitting for the attraction. The tour itself was fun and very entertaining. the actors where excellent. Althought the price was steep £13 per adult excluding vat of £2.60...=£15.60 it was very good

Nice staff, we had no waiting time at the 12 o'clock event, but after was a long queue. Our 11 years old son was with us and he was a little bit scared on three of 11 shows but still ok, our suggestion is older is better pending on their confidence. Some good actors but some shows are only presented... More

This past weekend, my boyfriend and I spent a weekend in York and decided we'd visit the York dungeons.. It was okay, but I think it was overpriced for what it was. The biggest scare I had was the photographer who was hidden around the corner as we went in! The actors were a bit 'hammy' although the stories they... More

This attraction is a must see. I was frightened from the moment I stepped inside but thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The actors inside were fantastic. Would not recommend this attraction for children tough
