The Edinburgh Dungeon (Edinburgh)

For those of you who love audience participation experiences at then all you need to know is that this place is absolutely perfect for you from start to finish. However I felt quite sullied by the whole experience, the long queues, the high entry prices, the fact that I couldn't leave my bag anywhere and my fiance nearly decked an employee (actually, that was the high point). We bought our tickets at the Tourist Information Centre which gave us a discount of £5 per person and there were two of us, so with £10 off we paid £19.90 for our run through the dungeon. Now this did include priority (fast track) entry to the dungeon, considering it took us ...  Read the complete review

I went to the Edinburgh Dungeon yesterday and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Having already been to both the London and York Dungeons, I knew sort of what to expect, but if anything that made the visit more enjoyable, and did not spoil it at all. This Dungeon includes some of the same chambers as the other Dungeons, such as the court room, the anatomy theatre and the torture chamber, and it also has more site specific chambers, such as Mary King's Ghost and the lair of the cannibalistic Sawney Bean.

Now I am going to tell you a bit about it but I am going to try and be careful not to spoil the experience for any of you who have not yet been so if my descriptions seem a bit sketchy at times trust me it is for the best.

I had visited York Dungeons many years ago and had walked around looking at a few waxwork ...  Read the complete review

I went to the Edinburgh dungeons on the 19th of June. I went with a few friends and all I can say to that is... Thank God I never went alone!!! The atmosphere is pretty bone-chilling and when you enter, you see loads of signs saying that you will go in, but never get back out. Well that IS true in a way... You don't come out the front entrance anyway! On entrance I was pretty freaked out! There is fake blood on the walls and an enormous axe swinging on the wall, and there were also some fake candles, hung around in some of the corners. There is hardly any light and then you are taken to a little passageway. In there, there are some small wooden ...  Read the complete review
