Did you know?

While the primary language is English, Amsterdam Dungeon actors can also speak German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Portuguese to cater to international visitors.

After your heart-pounding journey, take home a piece of the Dungeon with unique souvenirs like torture instrument replicas, spooky toys, and Amsterdam-themed memorabilia.

Situated at the heart of Amsterdam on Rokin, the Amsterdam Museum is built inside a historical church, adding to the authenticity of the experience.

The attraction is part of a network of Dungeons owned by Poole-based Merlin Entertainments, with each location investigating the history of its own local area while following a similar theme.

One of its distinctive features is the "Reaper: Drop Ride to Doom," a MACK Rides e-Motion roller coaster themed upon the Grim Reaper legend, which winds around a real 13th-century church.
