5.00Superb experience. We had been to the dungeons at Warwick Castle that was also excellent but I think this was even better. I would recommend to anyone except possible young children who my be a little scared.
Inadvertent decapitation!

4.00We had a ghoulishly great time in the Dungeons! Tiny bit of constructive feedback - maybe have the minions at the front who take the souvenir photos trained to ask us peasants to remove really obvious items of green-coloured outer clothing. I was super looking forward to purchasing our souvenir photos at the end, but unbeknownst to me my daughters green hat meant that half of her head was abruptly chopped off (not in a gruesome dungeon-y way unfortunately) on all the pics due to the green screen sorcery used to produce the background! That was really disappointing, but overall we had a great time - thanks!
Excellent!

5.00Myself and husband visited at the end of October, we did have to queue a little past our entry time as you are admitted in small groups. I wasn't sure what to expect but we both really enjoyed it. The actors were fab, the props and sets were excellent. Would highly recommend (but definitely not for young children!)
Fantastic day out for family

5.00We joined the Little Peasants tour on Halloween. Family came up from London and we wanted to show them a scary time in York. The tour was brilliant well put together and informative. The kids learnt some great facts from the stories and tales and had great fun. We then went into the Dungeon where they were truly horrified (in a good way). A fantastic day spent. The kids woke up and wanted to do it again, but unfortunately it was already booked up. Thank you to the actors and staff. Highly recommend!
Dull, uninformative dross

1.00I cannot even begin to say what an utter waste of money this is. It’s not a dungeon. There is nothing educational or informative. You are herded into crowded spaces to watch actors recite utter rubbish. Couldn’t hear half of it. Uncomfortable. Claustrophobic. Nothing of historic value. Save your money - it’s a complete waste of time. Couldn’t get out quick enough. Just an excuse to take your money and deliver nothing of worth.
Excellent.

4.00Good time had by all. I'm not much into this kind of thing but it was quite informative and entertaining. Keep to the back if you're not into getting picked on by the actors. They worked hard and were quite believable.
Spontaneous activity out
