Very good show, kept us interested the whole time. Great staff who helped me with my disability and helped everything go through smoothly without worrying. Very interactive and a good way to learn history without kids reading books etc.

Edinburgh Dungeon. I wasn't expecting much; some cheezy, tourist trip. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. Edinburgh Dungeon is great fun. The front of house staff are excellent and the performers working the various scenes are an absolute riot! We went with our two boys, aged 10 & 12, and sure, each found this or that scene a bit intense, but nothing traumatizing. Just a lot of fun while learning the horrible facts of life in "Auld Reekie" during the Middle Ages. For those unfamiliar, this isn't just a haunted house experience with jump scares. It is 10 (I think, 10) well-written and performed scenarios from the darker history of the city. A solid 80-plus minutes of genuine scares as you're guided from room to room, spending time at a suspect surgery, a plague-infested street, a witch trial and a haunted mansion (my favorite), among others. And don't say you weren't warned about the leeches.... A blast and a real memory for the family.

Save with this combo ticket and enjoy two completely different sides of Edinburgh. Spend time puzzling through interactive illusion galleries and rooftop viewpoints, then step into a live theatrical journey through the city’s darker history. Getting started You can begin with either attraction, depending on your schedule. Show your mobile ticket at the entrance to Camera Obscura and World of Illusions or at Edinburgh Dungeon, then enter at your selected time slot. What to expect Camera Obscura and World of Illusions Set inside a historic Royal Mile building, this attraction blends classic optical science with modern interactive exhibits. Move freely across five floors, testing perspective, light, and balance before heading to the rooftop terrace for open views across the city. Features:

Five illusion filled floors: Explore more than 100 hands-on exhibits including mirror mazes, distortion rooms, light tricks, and visual puzzles that challenge how you see and interpret space.

Victorian Camera Obscura show: Watch a live projection of the city created using lenses and mirrors, demonstrating nineteenth century technology that still works using natural light.

80 minute live show: Follow performers through a sequence of scripted scenes brought to life with atmospheric lighting, sound effects, and detailed sets.

Immersive storytelling: Stand inside recreated environments as characters interact with the audience, placing you in the middle of unfolding historical moments.
