Йоркская темница: Входной билет
It was great, really well done and the actors are fantastic, the only thing I’d say is, less people, your experience is lesser if you’re in row 2 or 3…the scares and bumps… aren’t as impactful

York Dungeon: Entry Ticket
A fascinating and amusing look at the darker side of York's past. Presented by a gifted and passionate group of performers. They do like to pick on "volunteers" from the crowd so introverts beware and younger children may find it frightening but for everyone else highly recommend.

  • Discover the darkest past of York

Immerse yourself in 2,000 years of the bloody history of the city. The York Dungeon offers an incredible experience full of scary fun. Immersive sets, legendary characters, and exciting special effects make this place one of the top attractions to see in the city.

  • Explore the scary story of the city

The York Dungeon experience is your unique chance to see the past of York with your own eyes — this is something history books cannot offer. Start with the secret chambers of Eoforwic minister, where you will discover the Saxon chronicles and find yourself in the middle of the Viking invasion. Then it gets scarier — fight for your life at the Plague House, hide at Golden Fleece Pub, and try not to scream at the Torture Chamber and Execution exhibit. Meet iconic characters of York, from haunting witches to Guy Fawkes and Dick Turpin.

The Dungeon also offers special Anytime Entry Tickets with flexible admission time. The price is £24.95 for adults and £20.95 for children ages 5-15.
