Excellent experience! Wasn’t sure what to expect and purposely didn’t look at reviews so that I could be surprised when we got there. You can’t take photos in the venue so unfortunately I have none to add to this review. But believe me when I say it looks (and smells!) very much like ye olde York! The actors were brilliant. But be prepared to be the chosen ones to take part. It’s very interactive but lots of fun. The actors will not touch you but they may just appear when you lease expect it! But just enjoy the experience :)

It’s our 3rd visit, and even though I’ve seen most of it before, although some of the staff have changed I still jump!! Actor (think they called her Betty) who assists with the carriage journey is fab, she is a laugh. The witch scene still amazes me, very clever. I like how they scare you but without physically touching you, it’s pretty tame to be honest. Overall all another visit enjoyed. Well done to all involved. I’d like a teddy, but those on sale aren’t nice, change the colour 😂😂😂

Experience was amazing. Staff are excellent in their roles and very interactive. My daughter screamed her way around as did others. Very cleverly set up. Would recommend to everyone

I found this attraction very noisy, and very boring. Wouldn't advise anyone to waste their time and money. Definitely not suitable for a 5 year old child.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the dungeon today. As a middle aged couple I thought it might not suit us but how wrong was I! The whole experience was really fun and engaging. The team at the dungeon are excellent and work extremely hard to ensure that the “peasants” have an unforgettable experience. Well done to all. Well worth the money and our favourite experience in the city thus far.

Brilliant actors, brilliant execution (no pun) of roles. Special effects and script well thought out. Well worth it, enjoyed every second. If you visit play along and enjoy!
