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.

We had a great time visiting Edinburgh dungeon. I took my 18 year old son and his girlfriend and we all thought it was fab. From the scary noises and fart sounds coming out the bathroom, (this gave us a giggle when my sons girlfriend had to explain she'd not actually farted 😅) to the enthusiasm from all the staff we rate it 5 🌟 We had only a small group of 7 including us 3 so we all had plenty of chance to be chosen to take part in the interactive nature of the dungeon. The actors were fabulous and all other staff friendly and attentive. And it was great value for money. Just great!

The actors were amazing !!! They did such a good job making the atmosphere creepy and they used darkness to do some really good jumpscares. They also had very good interactive scenes (the witch hunt/on trial etc) The torturer was also hot as hell

Through this experience, I discovered all the nuances of Scotch whisky. In particular, the connection between whisky and the different regions of Scotland. A truly wonderful experience
