York Dungeons

Tel: +44 1904 632599 Web: Visit this site »
 

York Dungeons is an animated waxworks museum depicting tortures through the ages. Not for the fainthearted. Follow the gruesome guides on a tour of York's plague ridden streets as they were in the 14th century and watch out for the rats, the carriers of the plague. See Dick Turpin, England's most famous highwayman, awaiting the hangman's noose. Hear him boasting of his adventures with Black Bess and then witness his last moments before his death by hanging. Learn about the phantom Roman Legion that will continue to haunt this city for all eternity as they have done for the last 2000 years. Admission: adults GBP6.95; children GBP4.95; concessions GBP4.95; family tickets GBP21.

  • Very funny staff.
  • The cost.

“Very expensive, no prices outside, so once you are in you are committed Forty five pounds for a family ticket is ridiculous.”

  • Staff work really hard, great for children.
  • Does not scare adults, effects very basic no high-tec stuff here.

“You are guided through a series of set scenes by actors these are a plague surgery, a moorland graveyard, a mirror maze, a meeting with a barbarian king, a sinners court, a torture chamber and dick turpins execution. The actors work really hard and are dressed in realistic costumes and most children would really enjoy it, as it is designed for families the actors stop short of really scaring you. A great one for children and families but one to miss for adults or those with either very young or sensitive children. Once you start you follow a set route with a tour group, and at the very you exit via the scariest place of all. The gift shop.”
