A really good experience in general but the major problem was it was not very good for me as I was in a wheelchair :-( the surfaces were uneven and it was very hard to manouevour and felt like I couldn't enjoy myself as much as I could the staff were very helpful and helped anyway they could and were brilliant actors it was just a shame I had difficulty which is why I rated it low but I would recommend for anyone else
I went with a friend - bothadults! Neither of us have not laughed or jumped out of my skin that much for a long time. Staff are amazing and get everyone involved. Be prepared to be scared! I personally would not take under 10 year olds as it is very dark and can be very scary but a great day out.
Fantastic, brilliant experience. Staff were wonderful
Definitely not for young kids. Quite a few were in tears.
The place mainly have lots of actors, who are all very good.
Really good! But also really scary (well my friend and I found it really scary but we are just a bunch of cowards who can t even watch horror).
Really fun and interactive incredible acting and overall a great atmosphere. Thoroughly recomend this to anyone both local and visiting
Very good good story telling plenty off frights and jumps good acting as well, story telling excellent
We visited today. The last time I went was about 20 years ago, has changed a lot since! Was so much fun. The actors were fantastic and I was spooked a few times. Lots of little things happen that you don't expect, they really add to the experience. I was trailed as a witch wasn't expecting it, although my husband wouldn't agree
We have been to other dungeons, this had by far the best actors, great fun, scary but worth the goose bumps.
Fantastic day out you need a couple of hours free for this
Not quite as good as London but still enjoyable and entertaining. Worth a visit
Way better then expected. Actors are actually great.
Fantastic activity for most of the family! Under 10s aren't advised to visit! Very entertaining and educational! Absolutely worth the visit, if you're a bit faint of heart or jumping stand toward the middle of the crowd!
Our family went and we loved it. Actors and staff were brilliant and really did keep on top of covid social measures. Very funny and only a bit jumpy in places. We deffo coming back when covid rules have eased.
Absolutely fantastic experience,combines,facts,drama,and a totally immersive experience.
This was a true cool place.
The girl is the best actor..
Loved it.
:)
Brilliant! Went here on 30 Dec. The show was fab, actors and set were ace. Very involving and scary in places. Kids loved it too. Staff were great throughout. I Recommend as a great family outing but not for small kids. Our 8 year old daughter was fine but stayed close to me for the whole duration.
For me it was the first time in such a "dungeon". The prices are relatively high, but it is well maintained. The (most) plays do a good job. Scary factor and fun factor were both present. The sets were designed very appealing. All in all, highly recommended.
We all really enjoyed this attraction, very interactive and a lot of fun. Photos a bit pricey but other souvenirs available as well. Very well done and brilliant actors.
Really great attraction with brilliant actors that get you involved.
A fantastic afternoon. Scared witless, but laughed too. The best 2 hours spent.
Was a little pricey but definitely worth it ..interactive good for all ages really ..plenty of history ..once your in there its one hell of an experience . You won't regret it
Really enjoyed it, good acting. Not for those of a nervous disposition.
Ton of fun. Be prepared to be included in the experience.
Really recommend this. How they moved without you knowing needs to be seen to be believed! They may make you jump they will make you laugh out loud. Great fun!
Very good to learn bit of York history in humanistic way
I love this place!
The actors deserve every compliment!
They all stayed in character no matter what happened.
I was picked out a few times to take part and i loved it, was such a great laugh, and very creepy!
Making it a point to go back here every time I visit York!
Was sceptical at first but by the end I was gripping hold of my husband's arm and closing my eyes
Great experience but lower age range is a bit low, I'd say 14+ is about right
I was expecting history, yes there was a bit but it was more a giggle than a lesson. Dont take anyone that cannot see too well as it is very dark and no rails for those who are a bit unstable on their feet
Really enjoyable, lots of fun, good banter. Did the night time 18+ one, expected it to be a bit more adult or scarier, but still really enjoyed myself.
A great day out.
I learnt an awful lot about York s rich history and I would recommend to children and adults of all ages.
Thanks to Horrible History after going here my daughter wanted to go to Edinburgh Dungeon. Some parts are the same but not all.
Absolutely fabulous, funny scary and thoroughly enjoyable. All the actors were brilliant, well worth a visit
What a fantastic place! We had a brilliant time here, lots and laughs and memories made. Will definitely go again in the future.
It is well worth it! Scary and fun and interesting! The best thing to do is to book ahead online as ques can get quite big.
If you are scared of the dark and loud noises isn't a good idea. And it isn't recommended for under 8s...though my 5 year old loved it.
Great Dunegon!
By far the LEAST awkward compulsory photo encounter I've had at any of the Merlin attractions so that's a definite positive. Good scenes. Not as awesome as the London or Alton Towers one, but way above the rest.
Excellent time was had by my wife and I. The actors did in fact acted well and they were serious about their craft.
I was pleasantly surprised how well the Dungeon kept us entertained. Each time we thought it was over, there was a new character to amuse us.
I do agree that this event is not for everyone and several times they asked if anyone had a bad back, etc.
For the price we paid for other events in England I must state this was the best value for the money
Excellent and if we were back in York, we would do it again!
Brilliantly entertaining , great actors , we enjoyed being involved in each scene , great fun all round !!!
Well worth a visit. Always a surprise around the corner!
Nice but a bit predictable and nowhere near the same as London. The Grande finale was poor.
Really good, great setup and make up if you want a good scary time I highly recommend this experience, even got myself a couple of goblets.
Absolutely brilliant. Well worth the entrance fee. Staff lovely. Actors were excellent, terrifying ha
We had a fantastic time yesterday at the dungeon. The actors were amazing and the tour was absolutely brilliant. Highly recommended!
Absolutely brilliant, worth every penny. Very atmospheric and pretty creepy. Take my hat off to the actors, it has been said before but they really do throw themselves into their roles. Loved it and would definitely recommend
Loved it, actors and actresses were excellent, great fun.
Waste of money don t go same thing doing again and again to scared you but nothing worth watch a goust movie don t go
You can laugh but not scary...
I m not recommend ...sorry
Quite similar to what's on offer at other Dungeon experiences around the UK
Had an entertaining hour or so, actors were very good and there were plenty of surprises. A must-see if you've got the york pass.
Many stairs and entrance fees to get to the top of a stone pile, but the view is good
A wide range of experiences, with great period costumes, characters and effects, mostly feeling connected with the history of York.
Particularly fascinated by the mirror maze. Not sure how I missed the way, but fortunately one of my fellow travellers helped me out of it!
Not scary at all. Boring, sometimes funny.. I liked London Dungeons better - story is more clear and more entertaining
Came with my partner and her mother was an experience I'll never forget absolutely loved it
Brilliant! Really good fun quite beautifully put together
Visited during covid, felt safely distanced and didn't takeaway from the fun of the attraction
Really good experience. Not for the faint-hearted. Haha.
