Worth visiting!

A review of this place: Edinburgh Dungeon… yeah, it sucks more than I do ;-)

figured Mark would get a kick out of the title, lol :-P

I got a kick out of this postcard, being it says IT SUCKS and the dungeon actually kind of does LOL.

Anyhow, I got a postcard that says, “Lose your head at the Edinburgh Dungeon”. Which I definitely almost did after waiting in queue for 3+ hours to then experience a lackluster dungeon.

However, we did go on Good Friday so it was horribly busy and maybe the normal show is a lot better. They were probably putting people through as fast as the could being people were getting upset about the long wait times. I could see where it definitely had the potential to be good. I just think it would be nice if things were presented with a little more history and background. I would have liked to gain more knowledge from it. However, I can see were some poeple might not want that. They really should be more descriptive in their brochure and state that it is NOT a ride, there is one small section of ride. It would really be cool if they could renovate it and make the boat ride go through most of the tour. That would be so awesome, riding a huanted boat around to educational exhibits and actors doing skits!

Based on all those things, I’ll give it a thumbs up for visiting.

the disappointing dungeon

We didnt queue long for this dungeon and having been to the fantastic one in York I had high expectations. They were soon dashed. A combination of false advertisement, we actually thought there was going to be a ride, and screaming primary school children made this place a total waste of money. I learnt nothing about the history of Edinburgh, we moved so fast through each section I felt like i was on the bullet, and it wasnt even that busy. The torture section was rubbish i could barely hear the actor. There was nothing to read about the history apart from a few placards about the body snatching. I cant believe i paid so much for something that was so bad. OVERRATED, OVERPRICED, AND VERY UNDERWELMING.

aye, was an overall disappointment

I’d not pay it again. London Dungeon on the other hand was fantastic! I feel that Edinburgh has many superior choices to Edinburgh Dungeon such as Mary King’s Close. Probably my favourites are the walking tours.
