we had an amazing time at the york dungeons! it's my second time going and my boyfriends first but even though i've been before it is an amazing experience. it's so interactive (with people from the crowd being chosen to participate!) and the actors involved are so amazing at what they do you forget you're not travelling through different decades of york! i would highly recommend for anyone wanting to add some more fear to their trip to this haunted city!

Wexhad a great day at York Dungeons, from start to finish. Easy receipt of tickets, easy entry , only 15-20 people per slot, so there was no queuing. Actors were fantastic and the actual rooms were really professionally built. Overall 10/10. Top day out for adults and kids (8 yrs +)

All the staff were very friendly and helpful straight from those on the door to those in the gift shop. All the "characters" played their parts so well & interacted with the "peasants" to make the whole experience informative and fun. Definitely worth a visit.

Discover the two sides of York’s heritage with this curated combo. Plunge into the gruesome, hilarious, and shadowy world of the York Dungeon, then step out into the fresh air for a scenic sightseeing cruise along the River Ouse. With only a 2-minute walk between the two, it is the most efficient and entertaining way to explore the "Eternal City."

Getting started

Your journey begins at the York Dungeon (12 Clifford St) for your pre-booked timed entry. After your 75-minute encounter with York’s villains, exit the Dungeon and take a short 120-meter walk to King’s Staith Landing to board your cruise.

What to expect

The York Dungeon

Expect a multi-sensory, high-energy experience through a theatrical walk-through featuring professional actors who play infamous figures like Guy Fawkes and Dick Turpin. Be prepared for jump scares, dark humour, and interactive trials that will have you laughing and screaming in equal measure.

Features:

10 live actor shows: Meet the Torturer, the Plague Doctor, and more through 10 distinct performances that blend historical facts with dramatic storytelling.

Immersive sets: Navigate through meticulously crafted environments, from plague-ridden 16th-century streets to the murky depths of a castle dungeon.

Special effects: Advanced lighting, soundscapes, and sensory surprises amplify the tension and transport you through 2,000 years of York’s darkest chapters.

York sightseeing cruise

After the intensity of the Dungeon, the sightseeing cruise offers the perfect relaxing contrast. As you cast off from King’s Staith, you’ll enjoy a fresh perspective of the city walls and the majestic York Minster.

Features:

Live captain's commentary: Every sailing features a local skipper delivering witty and informative tales. Learn about York's industrial past and local legends as you sail past the Museum Gardens.

Dual-deck comfort: Choose your vantage point from the open-air top deck for the best photos or stay cosy in the enclosed, heated saloon if the Yorkshire weather is a bit brisk.

Onboard hospitality: Visit the fully stocked bar to purchase a local ale, hot coffee, or a signature snack. With onboard restrooms and comfortable seating, it is a smooth experience for everyone.
