Created some well-needed memories with my children with a walk through some of Edinburgh then a quick bite at the train station, as well as a sit down in the park just before going into The Dungeon for a unique and keenly humorous show. Hopped on the comfortable busses to see the rest of Edinburgh and learned a lot about the fascinating history of the city. An experience we will not soon forget!

Experiencing the hangman's chair was just awesome. Post the show my wife discovered her earring was missing. We went back and with the prompt assistance of Customer Service agent Camelia and your Security In Charge we were delighted to retrieve the same. Thank you Edinburgh Dungeon for a wondferful show and your invaluable assistance. Regards, Swapan Mitra

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in the Edinburgh Dungeons! The actors, the drama, the history and the environment created for this tour were all incredible. I was both laughing and screaming at the same time. My friends went a few years earlier and recommended it to me, now I can't recommend this tour enough!

Timed-entry tickets give you a 15-min window to enter, reducing wait times and letting you explore the attraction without crowds or hassle.

Meet Scotland’s darkest figures like Major Weir and Burke & Hare in shows about witch trials & body-snatching—all recreated using live performance.

Strap in for the Drop Dead Ride, where a judge sentences you to a sudden 20 feet vertical plunge inspired by the city’s historic public executions.

Want to skip the fixed entry slot? Select the anytime entry upgrade in the next steps for total freedom to arrive anytime that day.

All the actors/actresses were fab! I was picked to lead the way and I feel it really made the experience! The fear of the unknown as I walked through and being jumped out on made it hilarious! Not to mention ton being picked out in every room we visited.... safe to say the whole group knew who Rachael was 😂

This was a day out for myself and my 17 year old granddaughter. We had a great experience, full of screams and laughter. Each room was full of suspense, story telling and surprises.

Step into Edinburgh’s murky history with a timed-entry ticket to The Edinburgh Dungeon—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 up—spooky enough to thrill older kids, fun enough for grown-ups, and great for families and groups.
