This is a great place to go if you want your history mixed up with some humour, my friend and I took her 11 year old daughter to the dungeon , what a giggle, the staff are great, really get into character and its not just a case of watching, you get to interact with them too.
I wouldnt recommend it for children under five as there are times where you will jump out of your skin with fright!
Will definitley be visiting again.

This is a very scarey place and if your children are easily scared or infact you are, then i dont recommened it. However if you love to be scared and made to jump out your skin then this is the place for you.

At the moment the ticket prices have been cut by 50% so a great bargain if you want to go.

Let yourself go back intime to the darkest moments in Scotland's history within the deep depths of Edinburgh Dungeon. Live actors, shows, a spooky ride and interactive special effects make sure that you face your fears head on in this unique experience.

Everything that you see is based on real historical events from the brutal Clan Wars, to Edinburgh's Great Fire and the Anatomy Theatre. They also have a chilling boat ride into the lair of cannibal Sawney Bean the thrilling and fun experience that will leave you screaming for more!

If you love pain, fear, torture and death then this is the place for you.

I took my friends kids to here and we all enjoyed it. I had wanted to go since in opened but thought it would be a bit expensive but I managed to get vouchers for buy one child get another free. The queue was quite long for the time of day we went but it moved quite quickly. I quite enjoyed the tour, it has lots of things like The Mirrored Room which the kids enjoyed. It became like a tour round which was good although it was more historical thatn I expected, more story telling than actual horror but we enjoyed the tour and the costumes were fantastic. However if there is a massive queue and you dont have vouchers Im not sure I would recommend it as we were only really in the place about an hour or so and its quite expensive.

I can't believe this place has received such high reviews. Granted, I'm a bit of an attractions snob, hailing from Orlando, but I must say that the low-budget nature of this place makes the price of admission a little unreasonable.

The 'scareacters' are mostly enthusiastic, but it only takes one half-hearted performance to ruin the scary effect they are going for. Also, the 'boat ride' travels for about 5 feet, or so it seemed.

IF you don't mind an over-touristy, plastic type of fun, or if you're a group of 13 year olds whose parents have no idea how obnoxious you are when travelling in large, unsupervised groups, than this is the place for you.

This is a great day out for the whole family or just a group of friends. It is really cheap if you use the back of an old bus pass to get a discount too!

The Edinburgh Dungeon is good fun for a day out. It is family friendly but is quite scary and my 12 year old brother wouldn't go in once we got to the entrance.
There are lives actors making it very scary so is great for thrill-seekers. It's situated right in the town centre so is easy to get to.
