The York Dungeon, Merlin Entertainments Reviews

GREAT EXPERIENCE
VERY GOOD ACTING
Be careful you don t get picked lol
A MUST TO SEE
WELL DONE YORK DUNGEONS

Got 2 for 1. If payed full price for 2 adults not worth the money.

Not for the faint hearted or kids under 8 years. But well put together shows of history. A credit to York.

Ok, lets get this straight, im 76 yrs old. I liked this palce becuase it was lik a better graveyard. it was much more interactive than my local graveyard. My great great great grandma was berried here under the graves and i dislik it. Also the bodies shouldve ben edible because i was verray hungry when i got her from africa on my way to imigrate to canaada and i wanted food so i ate sum bodies and then i got food poisining, so i turned around to David (My friend) and asked him for a salt and vinegar rice cake to clear my sytem, but when i opened my mouth i just puked all over his lap so then for the rest of the day he had a large stain on his paints and it was anoying me so i licked it off and then i got food poisining again so i puked in the airport and the security guard touched my stuff with his boogerish gloves and left another stain.

Haven t been for ages but it s unique fun and well worth the visit. If your visiting York you will not be disappointed

10 great live shows, highly recommended worth a visit

Fantastic experience if you have never been then put york dungeon on your wish list to do

Excellent. Interactive entertainment with the actors. Very good and scared the s*&t out of the other half. Worth every penny

Loved it... actors and staff were all amazing and scared the s**t out of us worth every penny

Great value and fantastic actors all the way around.

Really good, fun, informative and interactive...worth booking before for a good price as we did.

Great fun, and quite informative, laughed all the way around

Fabulous,great shows,and a great way ti find out about yorks history,all the actors were excellent,

Brilliant acting, they make you jump so many people will love it but not if you have a nervous disposition or don't like the dark!

Amazing experience, great for kids and the whole family would deffienetly recommend buying online

Such good fun, amazing and entertaining actors that take you on a dark and twisted journey though ancient York. Most memorable!

Amazing! Me and my family visited yesterday for my birthday.. the gentleman on the front counter (I think his name was gareth) was very welcoming and friendly.. we'd arrived late due to traffic but this wasnt on problem..
Actors were brilliant and we had a fantastic time! Will visit again very soon...
Thank u for the experience

Had to wait a while for it to start but it was a good laugh.

Great fun !! The staff get right into the characters, and involve the unsuspecting public

Fab.. place.. spent about 2-3 hrs here.. lovely cafe.. and great gift shop.. very interesting great for kids!!

Great way to spend an hour or two when in York. Highly recommended

Well worth the money . Brought history alive and made it fun.

A real highlight of our trip and something that our family will long remember. Scary enough to put adults on edge but not so scary as to give our eleven year old nightmares, the whole production was incredibly polished. Well done!

Excellent day out for all ages. The staff are very enthusiastic and friendly and they make the whole experience! Would highly recommend to do when in York.

Interactive, great hosts and storytelling. Not for the faint hearted or shitbags

Really enjoyed our visit to york dungeons. Very informative and interactive

Good fun but don't take very young children. One little lad got very distressed during the walk through and had to come out . Staff work hard . A bit of harmless hokum.

Not bad, interesting story but no where near as good as Edinburgh Dungeon which has a lot more jump moments a better end "ride" and the actors seem a lot more energetic

Great fun the actors were superb would recommend as a trip to book when in York

Absolutely loved this, wasnt sure what to expect or whether it just for the kids but the adults can enjoy too. The actors do a great job and it's a lot of fun as they really get into their role explaining the history of York. Recommended.

Brillant was here last weekend and me and my husband had such a laugh. Was so funny the actors/actresses are fantastic and they love to get you Involed too. Highly recommend if your after a fun afternoon

Comparable to the experience that you get at the London Dungeon. There's a few areas that are the same. This Dungeon focuses more on the viking background if I recall correctly, although it just means two different areas than the London Dungeon. My daughter was anxious both times however some of the other kids didn't have a problem. So be cautious if you have any kids that are more squeamish. If you've never been to the London Dungeon, note that there are some light waterworks, tight spaces, dark areas, and forced volunteer opportunities.

Great hour plus, excellent acting and very atmospheric.

Really enjoyed it. I was very on edge the whole way round. Brill experience.

WOW!!! A must to visit, an experience that physically transports you back in time to York of yesterday.

Excellent ! Actors are absolutely fantastic , Covid secure , social distancing respected. Please support these talented folk !!!

Great fun. If you have been to other dungeons, you may recognise some of the jokes. The actors work very hard.

Great way to learn some history with a twist, very interactive with excellent characters!

Very expensive, the actors and actresses and the little special effects didnt justify price. A basic fun house that could be in any warehouse.

Enjoyed the experience was fun for an activity at my girls weekend away!

Excellent. Well worth the money fun scary but above all had a great time

Really good place best to go early super fun thing to do

Great show, we all loved it. Adrenaline still going.

The tour is great fun - you won't be grabbed or chased by anyone within the dungeon, so don't be overly nervous.

The actors at each stage are accent and word perfect whilst confidently interacting with everyone in the group. You effortlessly learn a little of the history of York whilst smiling.

It is well worth the money - I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed.

Great place to visit, York Dungeons proved to be a good choice of things to do in York. York Dungeons cater for all ages but maybe not for very young children who might be easily scared, it might be a bit too much for most kids under 8.
I would describe the place as: educational, funny and entertaining.
The actors who tell the stories really make the experience enjoyable and provide endless amounts of 'jump factor'. The tour lasts around an hour and 15 mins. The tickets were priced reasonably although I could imagine it getting quite expensive for larger groups.
Overall, a great place to visit when in York.

Brilliant and funny the actors were amazing really enjoyed it all I can say is you need to go see this you won't be disappointed BRILLIANT.

Been a few times always made me jump. This time wasn't as scary as all the others

Our day at York dungeon was fantastic. It was the first time we visited and the performances were great. If you don't mind bring a little scared it's definitely worth a visit.

Great place, very theatrical, although I would have been happy with one act shorter. Be prepared; they might make you jump!

Definitely worth a trip if you're in the area or looking for something to do if it's poor weather outside, great fun and a great imersive experience!

Superb! A great ending to a lovely day in York, such a laugh
