The Edinburgh Dungeon Tickets
Why Visit the Edinburgh Dungeon?
At the indicated time, head to 31 Market Place in the heart of Edinburgh to begin your descent into over 1,000 years of spine-tingling history.
With your ticket, you'll embark on an interactive journey packed with live actors, immersive sets, thrilling rides, and jaw-dropping special effects that bring Edinburgh's most notorious stories to life.
As you navigate through the dungeon's twisting corridors, you'll hear, see, and even smell the city's eerie past. Meet infamous figures like the murderous Burke and Hare, the cannibal Sawney Bean, and the fearsome witch Agnes Finnie. You'll feel the terror of the Black Plague and encounter the grim torture chamber where screams echo through the ages.
From start to finish, this hair-raising adventure combines history, horror, and humour. With each terrifying twist, you'll laugh, scream, and learn about the darker side of Scotland's past. And with the heart-pounding drop ride and mind-blowing special effects, it's an experience you won't forget in a hurry!
After 1 hour and 10 minutes, your underground journey will come to a chilling conclusion… or will it?
