Well we won tickets to this attraction in a raffle and I must admit I wasn't particularly enthusiastic. However it was absolutely fantastic we went as a family of four my youngest being nine!! I would highly recommend this visit its funny, scary and very entertaining. I do think its a bit pricey as the face value of our tickets... More

This is fairly new so have been looking forward to the experience. The staff are brilliant with some excellent acting ensuring lots of interaction. Pretty scary in parts, if you are claustrophobic or afraid of the dark obviously wouldn't recommend. The ride at the end is a great finish to the experience. Would recommend to all as it a full...

Owned by Merlin Entertainments, the same guys behind Alton Towers..etc. These Dungeon experiences are a cool way to get a bit of local history in the city they are based in. Edinburgh, York, London...etc all have rich and bloody histories that are ripe for these attractions to capitalise on and Blackpool, based in a region known for the plague, witchcraft... More

We had a 241 voucher which was good but the tickets weren't outrageously priced anyway. I had to pluck up the courage to do this. The actors were great. Very informative and scary! I was put in a cage in the torture part.. The hanging was a nice surprise too. The gift shop was great too. We spent ages in... More

One of the best attractions we visited. Great staff, great atmosphere, great fun! The "judge" on the day (8th May) was fabulous - in fact, all of the actors were. Thoroughly enjoyed it - and the wild ride at the end was AMAZING!!!! ☼

We were a bit aprehensive about this one, but as we had bought the big ticket for 6/7 attractions (one is for kids only) we went. It was a marvelous bit of theatre and well worth going to. I wasn't actually scared its a bit jumpy which makes you laugh (nervously sometimes) out loud, but very entertaining. Only thing I... More

I brought the kids here in January and thought it was that good we came back again with my husband. I think I just didn't expect it to be so good!! The effort that was put in by all actors, special effects etc. it's just a really fun attraction, something you would expect to see in London not Blackpool. Definitely... More
