The York Dungeon, Merlin Entertainments Reviews

Great actors and stories makes for a supe atmosphere

Lasting a little less because of Covid. More than terrifying, it's pretty a informative walk-along activity. Interactive, tho. I wouldn't recommend it for people who don't understand English so well, as you'll probably get asked to follow instructions and perform a little.

I am not sure, but this might be a chain of dungeons - seems the one in London and Edinburgh are similar.
There is nothing wrong with that, of course.
For some reason, this was a bit tricky to find, in spite of street signs, so be sharp.
Squished penny machine: Bonus

Actors were great, worth the price you pay, staff were very friendly and welcoming.

The actors were brilliant really made the experience worth a visit

A brilliant place to take the kids! An absolutely fantastic experience and very entertaining! The staff here go above and beyond to include you into the performance and really do work extremely hard! It wasn't what I expected, it was way better than anything I ever imagined! Well worth the money and it actually teaches you a lot about the history of the dungeons. If you're in York, then make sure you book time in to go round the dungeons... It's fantastic!!!

A very interesting, enjoyable entertaining event. If you get into the spirit of the tour you will really get the benefit.

WOW..... Well worth a visit, very well exacuted, fantastic scripts and characters. Kept my interest from beginning to end. Well worth the money.

I feel like the places inside the dungeon were fun and educational however it was a bit too cramped and the kids were feeling a little scared. The actors were funny too definitely recommend for the family just the older ones

It's been over 10 years since I was last here with my kids ,now I'm taking my new partners kids ,it's still good ,still busy but you get time in your group to see everything and learn something and get scared

Fantastic all of it especially the one with the plague, she played the part brilliantly

Awsome place and we'll placed actors. Always fun to visit

Absolutely brilliant family day out. If you, or more to the point your kids, like Horrible Histories, you and they will love this place.

Well worth a visit a few scary moments also entertaining.

Great fun. Would be pricey for a family without any discounts, but dare say it's worth it. Great actors, thoroughly enjoyable, a bit gory at times, but all done with good humor. Fantastic at Halloween, and a good friend bits of history thrown in. Great way to spend an hour or two! You can even grab a beer now at the end.

A treat and very cleverly done.Historic and a lot of fun.

Great story, very interesting. Try to go there with not too many things to carry.

It was brilliant. So funny, I think blood is just coming back into my arm from Erin squeezing it.

Would recommend for all ages.
Really entertaining and funny.

I really liked the Dungeon. At first I was wary thinking maybe this is just for kids but there were a lot of jokes that adults could enjoy too as well as some interesting historical facts. The actors were brilliant and every single one made you feel like you were the first and only group. I'd recommend it if you just want some light-hearted fun in York for an hour and a half. Could be scary for very little kids though.

On the pricey side but a must for all York newbies... And oldies who haven't had the experience.

Well worth a visit, but try to find some promotional coupons before you go.

Took my son here and he was 11 was a great day out staff were friendly only reason I am rating 4 is because they don't do food they should have a cafe inside

More funny than scary.. don't be put of if u scare easy.. it's just jumpy here & there with loud shouting.. lights off etc. Glad i did it eventually after being a chicken at Edinburgh :-) :-)

Brilliant, very entertaining, fun for the whole family.

A better experience than before. New exhibit about a witch was quite good. The guy who did the execution bit was brilliant

We absolutely loved this. Brill experience thank you.

Was such a fun experience we all had a laugh and the staff were brilliant would definatly reccomend

Brilliant, really funny and entertaining even the parts that make you jump!

I had the best time here with my girlfriend on a date, everyone stays in character the whole time and it's so so immersive. Quick note to anyone going though, when they monk at the start asks whence you came, that means where did you come from

Absolutely awesome the staff there are amazing at what they do and I would highly recommend you pay it a visit it's well worth it

Awesome! Really good experience, actors made the experience brilliant..... I hope they are well paid lol

#York
York is a beautiful and beautiful ancient city. Walking back in the street seems to be a return to the past. It is very much like the feeling brought to us by Taiwan - Dadao Rice.

"C l i f f o r d 's T o w e r "
This Tower is not large, but it is located in the city center and becomes a very popular attraction.
Surrounded by green grass, it is like a castle.
Around it is the Castle Museum, so many people will hold activities and picnics here during the holiday season.
Very suitable for family or three or five friends to enjoy a relaxing sunbathing

York Dungeon.
Coconuts can't watch horror movies... It's also a long time to participate in this trip alone.
Although it was scared many times...but it is very different from Taiwan s haunted house. Scenes and actors describe the historical story of Lost Roman legion .
Divided into several scenes {operating room} {torture room} {gunpowder factory} {court} {trial site} etc.
Very very worthwhile to experience because this experience of coconuts decided to experience London Dungeon

"O r i g i n a l G h o s t W a l k O f Y o r k "
It was really beautiful here, watching the boat slowly over the river with a nice afternoon tea.
The first time you saw the Vespa plaque in Britain
The white card locomotive is really rarer than the sports car heavy machine.

Must visit attractions! York Minster
Completed in 1408, it is the largest medieval stained glass in the world. The most famous is the Five Sisters Window, and the south can be seen as a rose window, called the eye of a Gothic building .

Excellent place ,lovely people ,well worth the money.

Kids loved it. Scary, but great excitement for all ages

Ok but rooms too small for larger crowds and shorter people will struggle to see what is going on. Otherwise a great place to visit with much interaction and many surprises.

What an amazing interactive laugh out loud experience we had at york dungeons. Book online for an amazinh saving. You wont regret your visit, be prepared to join in refusal is not an option x

It was unbelievably amazing, everything is of high quality from props to the actors. 10/10 would recommend visiting

Fantastic experience. Laughed and jumped all the way through. Brilliant

Scared my 12 year old son to point where he wanted to leave early (which we didn't do) but I thought it was rather good. I really appreciated my free entry as a teacher too - thanks.

Good entertainment as expected from Merlin Entertainments Plc groups attractions. Something for everyone and the cast really get you immersed in the history!

Too dark! And felt like I was in another world...someone's world.But there was authenticity in its setting/surroundings.

Really good and interesting if you like history that's the place to go

It was really good due to the actors embracing the stories very well, but what let this experience down was the room sizes / crowd size , either make the rooms bigger or the crowd smaller

Really good actors, beats London dungeons by a mile. Would reccomend people visiting York to definitely go

Great fun, but expect to be picked to join in on the antics. Definitely not somewhere for people with bad anxiety and those who struggle with being put on the spot.

Really good fun and very informative. Great value for money.

We travelled down for a few days and visited the dungeon and Viking centre. The children loved the dungeon and want to go back next year. No complaints from me

Worth a visit. But book online. It was such a fun experience. Everyone was really good at there job

I really enjoyed it even though I nearly pee'd my pants

THE QUICK WAY THEY PUSH YOU AS SOON AS THEY CAN NEED MORE TIME TO GOT
THROUGH THE DUNGEON NOT FOR ME
NOT GOOD THERE AGAIN.

There were 11 of us that went for a friends Birthday...a really good laugh...started the day off well

Amazing experience truly enjoyed it well worth a visit be prepared to join in

WOW.....

When first looked at going to the dungeon we expected a lot animatronics and displays but to our surprise it was all human. Not once during our visit did any of the actors drop character.

I would highly recommend and would suggest booking on line or getting there early. Overall you are in there for about 90 minutes of non stop entertainment.

Some younger children may find some of it quite scary as it's quite immersive.

Absolutely amazing! So good. If you've never been to one of these you MUST do it!! It's brilliant.

Interactive terror!! But heaps of fun and a good way to waste 12 quid!! Haha. Was very good

I had one of the best experiences in York. Super entertaining and quite didactic. The performances are remarkable, especially that of the man who opens corpses. Super super recommendable!

Very good, sometimes funny rather than scary, sometimes really quite scary. The last "room" in particular is very noisy and might affect some people with photosensitive epilepsy. There was a warning about the PE, as well as warnings to help people who are preganant, or potentially unsuitable for those with bad legs and backs. However, i would really have appreciated a warning about the noise in the last room. Between the flashing lights and loud noise, it was almost intolerable. I'd take ear plugs if I went back.

Amazing place. All the staff and actors are amazing.
