CHANGE YOUR AGE PREFERENCE TO SCARY FOR CHILDREN

Definitely not for children 14 some of the attractions were quite funny but some are definitely not for some children as they showed some disturbing things like blood body parts and organs , heads on spikes,as well as lots of jump scares that could frighten some children. Also I know it's apart of the tour but they shouldn't scream at the children only if they feel comfortable ,but I as when I visited they did scream at a child which I thought could maybe damage their hearing as there a child . Overall if was a alright experience I didn't really enjoy it but that's my opinion,it looks like most people enjoy it .

First time in a dungeon, wasn't really sure what to expect. It was out of the comfort zone booking, but we truly enjoyed. The performances and entertainment was absolutely amazing, kids aging from 7-14 got really engaged. The show wasn't only entertaining, it was informative too, we learn few new facts on local history. Great performances, if you enjoy good sense of humour and don't take offence easily, would really recommend..
Best attraction in York by far!

Absolutely fantastic experience! Without doubt the highlight of our trip to York. My husband and I went with our 14 year old. We all loved every single minute. Full of surprises, jump scares and special effects throughout. I really want to go again already! I am not sure if younger children would be suited to this attraction, I guess it depends on the individual. I personally don’t think I would recommend it to anyone with a child under 10-12 years old but like I said, it’s a personal choice. All in all, AMAZING! Thank you!
Totally worth it…..

Absolutely amazing experience. I was expecting a jump scare haunted house type thing because, as a simple peasant, i didn’t read the clear explanation of the attraction🤣🤣🤣 It is way more than this. It is such an immersive experience. Joining in with everything is part of the fun. Throw yourselves into everything to get the most out of it. There are quite a few spooky moments. It is also educational and very funny and the actors really can act. They stay in character throughout. The journey around the attraction takes about 75 minutes, there are toilets down the side of the street and there are adaptations for people with mobility issues. I’m not 100% sure about children on this tour. I think the parents should decide if it’s something their child can cope with. This would need some careful thought. In my humble opinion, kids under 10 may struggle with it. To sum up, fantastic attraction, superb actors, spooky venue and you learn/laugh a lot. Worth every penny
Don’t Miss The Dungeons!

You can’t visit York without visiting the Dungeon! Fab experience with engaging theatre, history, spookiness and humour. Loved the interaction too. Don’t miss it!
Well worth a visit

A fun hour and half with the family. We weren’t too sure what to expect which only added to the experience. There was a suggestion on booking our youngest (age 7) might find it too much but he loved it. The staff and characters throughout were excellent.
Fun but scary!

Staff / actors were fabulous really creepy and at times quite scary. Certainly wouldnt recommend under 12s. There were a couple of younger children in the group we went in with, they hand their hands over their ears and eyes the whole time. For adults and older kids, brilliant. Excellent effects, the actors really made it a fabulous experience, we Certainly jumped several times, and be warned you may get picked on!
Highly recommended fun!

So much fun! A delightfully scary (but not too scary) and funny trip through medieval history. The actors were engaging and funny. There is audience participation- if you don’t want to play, ask for a yellow sticker on your way in. Here are times of complete darkness and some jump scares so beware if you are sensitive to that. I highly recommend it as a fun thing to do on vacation!
Absolutely Brilliant

75 minutes of pure fun, the actors were all amazing but a huge shout out to isabella the witch, she was terrifying. Loved how they included the guests all in all a bloody brilliant show worth the cost. This is our second visit and it had changed since the first which was good. The stories were good and staff extremely friendly.
