What visitors say
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a blast here, I was worried that I would be too scared but it was really entertaining. The rides had such cool effects and the whole experience was like a really fun show. I was not called out, but it was really funny seeing other people called out. The jokes and actors were also amazing, they did a good job of making this both informative, fun, silly and scary. I honestly wish it was longer, time went by so quick.

So much fun! Very well done. Terrific actors and amazing sets. Well worth the time and money! No photos or videos allowed inside the interactive show, so not much to show you, but it was fabulous and phones would take away from the experience.
