Some advice before you go:

Some advice before you go:
1) Are you Claustrophobic? If so, don't go! All the rooms are small, dark and cramped ('The Golden Fleece Pub' room/show is especially enclosed & claustrophobic). The ceilings in many of the rooms/shows are low. There are no windows at all, no natural lighting, the doors are closed and only opened for entry/exit between each room. You are in a group of approx 30 people shoulder to shoulder, so no room to breathe. The 'show' rooms get hot & stuffy where you may find it hard to catch your breath.The connecting passageways are very dark & narrow with low ceilings. You can feel very 'boxed in' and unable to escape. Exits are not obvious due to subdued lighting.
2) Also, if you are unable to stand up for most of the 70 mins then don't go. There is seating in 'The Plague Doctor' room & 'The Highwayman' room, but you are standing in all the other rooms.
3) Are you unable to see very well in low to very low lighting? Don't go. If, like me, it takes you a while for your eyes to adjust to the very low level lighting (if at all!), then you will find it very difficult walking on the uneven & sloping floors. I tripped up a few times on the uneven floor. I knocked into the sides of the wall (e.g. at the 'Mirrored Passageway/Maze') where I have a bruise on my left shoulder. I also had a door fall on me in-between rooms as the person in front of me didn't hold the door for me and I couldn't see it closing because there isn't enough lighting to see safely. You are forbidden to use the lighting on your mobile phone.
4) It also goes without saying that if you don't like to be in complete pitch black darkness for at least 7 full minutes at one point during 'The Highwayman' & for quite a few other mins during some of the other rooms/shows, then don't go.

On a positive note, the 'shows' are done very well; the decor & props are great and the actors are superb & very professional. There are a few 'boo' elements to the stories, but it is not scary (though some children under 10 may not like it). Nearly 30 pounds for 2 adults is a bit pricey imho. However, the reason I've given 2 stars is because the 4 main points above should be made very clear to the public. It should be listed on the front page of the York Dungeon website, as well as being displayed on a poster on the front door to the building (or visible in the foyer where you purchase tickets). It would also be very useful to be warned of all of these issues in the 'holding pen' area (after the photos) via the speaker announcements. At least people will know what to expect and to be prepared.
