I'd definitely recommend the Edinburgh Dungeon! We absolutely loved every minute of it. Everything from the layout, props, actors and storytelling was incredible – it was immersive, funny, and just the right amount of spooky!
Even though I was singled out and accused of being a witch... and officially "marked" 🤣, my husband, my 13-year-old daughter and I all had such a fantastic time and were laughing about it afterwards.
The gift shop deserves a special mention too. It was beautifully laid out, had so many unique items to browse, and the quality and value for money were excellent. We also bought the photo package, which was a brilliant deal and such a lovely way to remember our visit.
A fantastic attraction from start to finish – we'll definitely be recommending it to family and friends! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Vous connaissez un peu l'histoire d'edimbourg? Je recommande de faire la visite de The Marry King close avant de venir vous frotter au donjon ! Une aventure sympa pour un séjour rafraîchissant et historique ✨️

Leider nicht mehr so gut wie 2017 als ich das erste Mal dort war. Damals gab es noch die gruselige Bootsfahrt die ich unglaublich toll fand. Heute sogar der Freifall außer Betrieb. Also zu damals deutlich reduziert. Die Schauspieler sind aber alle super. Bin trotzdem leider etwas enttäuscht.

My coworker and I did this on a whim and are definitely glad we did! The performers really lean into their roles, and the physical props and sets were very well done. The winding halls they put you through also help with the sense of distortion, not knowing which direction you're going anymore. Highly recommend!

Tour was good but be careful when you purchase their pictures. We were travelling for over one month. Got home and tried to down load our pictures only to find out they only keep the pictures for one month. So we are out 20 pounds and no pictures. Since my first review Dungeons contacted me and got me my picture. Thank you.

If you want to skip the rides, just let our actor know (you'll be given the opportunity to opt out during the tour). If you need to leave at any time during the tour, we will escort you - but please note we do not issue refunds if you choose to leave half-way through the tour.
I don't want my photo taken, do I have to?
As above, we can't force you to do anything if you don't want to. Just let the photo team know you'd prefer not to have your picture taken.
