Really fun and engaging afternoon out. I went to London Dungeon years ago and this was so much better. Just the right balance of spooky and funny with great exhibits and wonderful acting. Would definitely recommend.

I am interested in history and found this very informative. The actors were absolutely amazing and made me jump on a few occasions. Well worth every penny.

We had a brilliant time at York Dungeons. The actors and actresses were brilliant and we felt very involved with the whole tour! It was well worth the money !

My sister and I had a great time at the dungeons. It was scary and funny . The actors were brilliant. Well entertained . Worth every penny . We had done the mad Alice and the ghost bus too, which were both quite good but this was the best and good value

The actors were fabulous. It was scary at times, really funny at times, thoroughly entertaining! Every room different & engaging. Very well done. It took an hour to go through, my only criticism is it was quite a lot of money for a family for an hour.

A great experience. We have visited a few times but the last time was 2024. My 10 yr old grandson was a little disappointed as the posters outside said ‘all new shows’ but they were the same as our last visit. The wait to start is hampered by having to wait to have photos taken, and also wait for everyone else to have theirs taken, which adds another 20 minutes to the already 20 minutes we waited to get in, despite having pre paid tickets. Once you’re in, the shows and cast are great. If you’re not into audience participation (our adult son has high functioning autism) you can mention this at the front desk and you will be given a glow in the dark discreet sticker so the characters know not to choose you for parts of the show. Highly recommended but if you can look for deals as the tickets are not cheap.

February the 14th was my first time visiting York and I can say the dungeon was brilliant. The cast stayed in character throughout. It’s was soooky yet funny at the same time. Would highly recommend.

By far THE BEST dungeons I’ve been to! The actors were amazing and kept everyone interested in the stories! There are lots of jump-scares and we had a great time! If you’re in York, this is a must do! Takes roughly 90 minutes or so
