Really enjoyed the Edinburgh Dungeons It was not what I expected and much better than expected. The drop ride was closed and I was really looking forward to that so that was the only downside. The guide book is well worth the money and really interesting too. The kids loved it and it was scary enough without being too extreme.

My wife and I decided to go to Edinburgh Dungeons whilst we were staying in the city. We’ve been to the one in London so knew what to expect; however, we were absolutely blown away by how brilliant the staff got into character. This made it an unforgettable experience and we would definitely go back, as it was such good and scary fun.

Jumpy. Great interaction. Good rides. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable.
Make sure you visit the toilets. 🤣🤣

Super fun, interactive experience. I was picked to be the witch in trial and kept getting picked out of the crowd. It was an amazing time. Not scary at all. Would definitely recommend

Absolute must when visiting Edinburgh fantastic interactive experience although not for the faint of heart. I was found guilty of spilling a man’s whiskey (hangs my head in shame) and then tortured with all kinds of scary contraptions but yet still had an incredible time.

Laura_L, Oct 2025
Fantastic morning at the dungeons very friendly staff and loved the whole experience! The only disappointing part was that the drop ride was broken down and also one of the room that we went in broke down and we had to leave the room which was abit gutting, but overall we enjoyed our experience

We booked this on a whim and had a great experience. Initially seemed like a haunted house, but soon we realized that this was history bright to life. Recommended.
Robyn_M, Aug 2025
We were simply filling time when we decided to book this adventure to the Dungeon. However we are so glad we did. Great stories and surprises await you! Buy the pictures - we laughed so hard!

Absolutely blast! Such a wonderful way to learn the history by being exposed to it first hand! Not too scary for my 7 year old and so much fun. They really make you feel like you’re living in the different times.
