  • Step into Edinburgh’s murky history with a timed-entry ticket to The Edinburgh Dungeonβ€”an immersive, theatrical experience best for ages 8 and up.

    Getting started

    Head to the main entrance of The Edinburgh Dungeon and show your ticket. After a quick check-in, you’ll be directed inside, within your chosen 15-min slot. The team will walk you through what to expect before things kick off.

    What to expect

    The Edinburgh Dungeon brings Scotland’s grimmer moments to life with live actors, interactive scenes, and dramatic effects. It’s weird, wild, and a surprisingly fun way to meet the city’s most infamous characters.

    Features

    • Live actor shows: Watch creepy performances that bring history to life. Meet Burke and Hare in their body-snatching scheme, face the Plague Doctor’s bizarre cures, survive Sawney Bean’s cannibal clan, and get judged for 17th-century crimes!

    • Themed sets and special effects: Wander through moody, detailed spaces filled with eerie lighting, creepy sound effects, and immersive storytelling.

    • Age recommendation: Best for ages 8 and upβ€”spooky enough to thrill older kids, fun enough for grown-ups, and great for families and groups.
