Be afraid, be very afraid! ....
We were appropriately scared at the dungeons. We hadn't been for a long time so we were keen to see how the experience was nowadays. We took our 2 granddaughters age 10 and 6. The youngest one was a bit apprehensive going in at first and stayed close by all the way through, but each room had a different story to tell and a different experience. A few dark rooms but you know things will make you jump.! Very well organised, excellent actors, great storytelling of true York people and a fantastic ending. I would highly recommend a visit to The York Dungeon, reasonably priced and even the photo options at the end were a decent price for 2 photos and about 6 digital photos too. Kids loved it and we'll be talking about it for a long time I think.

One attraction NOT TO MISS
WOW Brilliant experience, It wasn't until we came out that I realised that I had a sticker on my head saying "pick me" "pick me" "pick me (if you know, you know and I'm not going to spoil it if you don't.) well worth it and the actors were BRILLIANT, Don't miss this amazing attraction, thank me later.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely brilliant experience at York Dungeon!
An amazing, interactive experience from start to finish! The actors were fantastic, bringing the stories to life with brilliant performances, humour, and just the right amount of scares. The sets and atmosphere were incredibly immersive, making you feel like you’d stepped back in time. It was engaging, entertaining, and full of surprises, with plenty of opportunities to get involved. A fantastic day out for all ages and a must-visit if you’re in York. Highly recommend — five stars all round! 👏👻

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
York Dungeon Entry Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for York.
How much does York Dungeon Entry Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $16 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does York Dungeon Entry Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in York is not rushed.
Is York Dungeon Entry Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 1,283 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule York Dungeon Entry Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is York Dungeon Entry Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book York Dungeon Entry Ticket?
+
Around 449 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in York and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does York Dungeon Entry Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in York?
+
On Outty we rank every York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mad Alice’s The Bloody Tour of York -Best Tour Award Europe, The Deathly Dark Tour of York, Shadows of York: Ghost Walk and Horrible History.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit York?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
