Amsterdam
Amsterdam
Laugh and scream
The Amsterdam Dungeon is the city’s most scary, exhilarating yet simultaneously fun attraction. Step into a real, old church and enjoy the ride as a team of professional actors takes you on a multisensory journey through the Dutch capital's dark past. Mirror-halls, a labyrinth, torture chambers, and despicable characters who will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and laugh out loud at the same time.
No experience in The Dungeon is the same, each trip is unique. You will not only see the show but be a part of the show. This hilarious yet spine-chilling tour is one of Amsterdam’s must-see attractions. Are you brave enough to enter The Amsterdam Dungeon?
Step into Amsterdam’s horrible past!
Dive into a world of excitement and comedy and discover 500 years of the dark and cruel history. Special effects, smells, smoke, lighting, costumes, decor, and the setting itself, which was once a church, will provide a grave and unique atmosphere. Several different shows and a team of scarily good actors make for an unforgettable experience, which will be terrifying and hilarious at the same time, depending on your tolerance for fear.
Parts of the attraction include figuring your way out of a dark labyrinth, witnessing a witch burn, encountering the ghost of a tortured woman, and being tried by a Spanish Inquisitor. The Amsterdam Dungeon is a multisensory experience where you’ll be able to touch, smell, see, hear, and sense everything around you.

Informative and Wildly Entertaining!
Perfect experience! The crew of paid actors delivered a scary, interactive performance, room by room through the catacombs of Amsterdam, telling the dark history of the city in a way I won't be quick to forget.

Go check it out
This was definitely worth the visit! I highly recommend this to anyone doubting it. Full of screams and a few laughs and pretty long attraction for the price.

Absolutely amazing
A MUST. I assumed we were just having a walk around ! HOW WRONG WAS I!! Absolutely amazing , from the minute I walked in until the minute I left ! There were younger children with the group of people booked into my time slot they seemed to enjoy it too! Very jumpy ! I went with my partner but cannot wait to take my kids there now ! Well done very reasonable priced for the quality of the visit ! As I left I said to the young girl working in the gift shop , thank you that was fantastic , she smiled and replied ‘great , have a terrible day, bye ‘ One tip they make you turn your phones off , and with good reason ! Do it you won’t be sorry .

Wonderful, fun time! Must do when in Amsterdam.
Went with my 10 year old son- we both loved it so much!!!! It is scary, meaning the story lines and rooms that you enter keep you on your toes and heart racing (in a good way). Nothing was terrifying- it was all in good fun scares but yet done very creatively. The actors/ actresses were also so talented and though they were acting, they were so professional that it made you feel safe. You do go in a large group (thank god) which makes it less scary and you can support each other as you trauma bond :)

A must-see attraction
Great actors, scary but funny sets, great special effects and a walk through history. Worth a visit if you’re in Amsterdam. I have to admit that some of the actresses are really cute. 🥰 You really immerse yourself in the dungeon.

So much fun!
This was definitely a great activity’s and surpassed my expectations. It made you laugh, scream and think about the history of Amsterdam. I highly recommend doing this as it is definitely not your typical touristy attraction.

A fun spooky experience
Definitely a fun experience! I liked how the actors are interacting with the audience and how it's an engaging journey through the dungeon. Prepared to be spooked!

Worth a visit
It was our first visit at a Dungeon and we enjoyed it very much. The group could be held a little bit smaller but the actors and stories were very entertaining

Amsterdam Dungeon
Brilliant experience from start to finish, the characters were all amazing, Certainly worth the money, really enjoyed it thank you so much.

One of the best things to do in Amsterdam
A more than great experience. So truly scary and funny at the same time. My kids ages 11 -15 are still talking about it. But I - as their mother- was extremely excited and thrilled (and scared) during the entire 70 minutes

Good fun, very dark
It was raining so we decided to go here and didn’t regret it. Have been to Edinburgh and London dungeons so knew roughly what to expect. We booked our tickets in the short queue but you can just get them inside the building too. The whole event was in English and some great acting by the characters. Each room you moved into had something different and was really interesting. It was interactive as in some people were chosen to be imprisoned/burned as a witch etc. The only part I wasn’t fond of was the tunnel where you could not see a thing and had to get through individually with lots of air being blown on you/things hanging down and jumping out at you. My daughter thought that bit was great.

Fantastic Set.. Fantastic Acting.. Must see
Was a first time for the family. We enjoyed ourselves and had good laughs.. Simply great.. Would rate it amongst my top 3 things to do in Amsterdam.

Funny and frightening!
I enjoyed this much more than I expected! There were a few jumpy moments but also some funny times too. Great interactive experience!

Fun experience
There were 3 adults in our group and we all had fun. All of the characters did a great job. The rooms were set up perfectly. They interacted with the guests and made it enjoyable.

Unexpected fun time
Scarier than what we expected but very good. Nice combination of history, horror and comedy. Actors were fantastic. Definitely not for little kids.

Great Experience
The staff was very polite and we always felt comfortable. The actors lived their roles and we were fascinated. The Storys could have been a Little More scary, but it had its Moments.

Just go. Like for real, just go there.
I don't know how to start my review, and how to end it. So i'll just write 2 things. First - i don't speak English very well, but i've understand like 99% of everything (i really don't know how and why), and the second - that was kinda "life experience" for me. Even from start, when most of people went to the elevetor, and a "clown" starting to talk to us (4 from 20+ people), and this was sooooo creepy and weird... Just go there and feel it, but please, do not use THIS (u know what i mean in Amsterdam) before you go there... AND DO NOT TOUCH YOUR "TALKING BOX" <3

AMAZING!!!
We had such a blast for our first time at the Amsterdam Dungeon! All the staff were extremely helpful and lovely! It was the last day of our holiday and I had been dying to go as this kind of entertainment is right up my alley. And let me just say, the acting, performance, costumes, decorations, effects and set up was INCREDIBLE! It absolutely exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend to anyone who loves horror, performance and adventure to go along. Absolutely if we're back in the Netherlands - we'll be back!

Great History With Entertainment!
We enjoyed this adventure and entertainment on the dark side of Amsterdam. We were going to go to the torture museum, but opted for this gem. We got to see some torture devices in an entertaining manner. They tried to scare you and at times succeeded, but mostly made us laugh. They took “volunteers” from the group and used them. Just a good hour of fun!

Well worth an hour of your day!
This was such a fun and funny experience, very glad we went! The actors were all amazing and it made the whole experience great.

Scarily enjoyable
Amazing informative and scary story telling from all involved. Learnt so much that I even took home the fearsome facts and tortuous tales book to remember it by. The moment when I had to dance in front of complete strangers while chanting “dance witchy dance” will forever be engraved in my mind 😂 thank you for an amazing time and would love to go again next time I’m in Amsterdam

Spooky, Wry and Intense
From the moment I stepped inside the building, I could feel I was in for an adventure. The non-acting staff made sure of it. They had a peculiar sense of dry and dark humour which oddly enough, made me feel welcome. The set-up was brilliant. It was dark and eerie. The actors were incredibly talented. It was like I was transported to a different time. Jumpscares abound (I am an adrenaline junkie but the mild kind; I get spooked easily but I keep on wanting more. This is the perfect place for that). It was interactive-you get to be a part of the whole set which makes the experience even more unique and interesting. I absolutely loved it.

Scary and fun

A good time if you're looking for something different!
I'm not entirely sure how much we learned because we were too busy taking it all in, but the experience was unique and entertaining. Tweens would definitely get a kick out of it, as well as older folks.
Jun 11, 2024scottmF7872EZ
Fun time for most it's worth a stop to see
Fun time and they do a good job. It's a fun way to learn a little history and have some fun too. I've done these in several different cities they are all kind of the same but there's still fun to be had.
Jun 5, 2024acheck
Super fun (and a little scary)!
Super enthusiastic actors who really did an outstanding job! Thanks! And the whole set up is so well designed and fun. Great job there too!
Jun 1, 2024G8588NPemilym
Great!
It was great! I'm a wimp so I get scared easily but still a fun learning experience. The actors did a great job throughout the whole experience.

Fun and scary times
It was amazing. The actors and actresses were amazing, we got scared a few times but still had a fun time. Would definitely recommend going there!!

I loved it - and I don't like horror
Hilariously funny. I thoroughly enjoyed this whole experience. There are parts where it is very dark, but the only thing tgat was scary was the thought of tripping in the dark. The rest is all entertaining fun. Great experience - worth every penny.

Wished that it went longer!!!
It was really really good! The actor's were the best, The atmosphere was on point, The lighting, the sound effects were perfect! Only sad part was that it ended.

Amazing acting and creative ideas: the actors are great at improvising and adapting to the visitors and even the staff always stays in character, entertaining all the way through.

A must if you are in Amsterdam
It is a must if you are in Amsterdam. It is not scary at all if you enter with the mindset that it is a safe experience and nothing will happen to you. It is a funny, unexpecetd and really amazing experience. There are well prepared actors who are dressed according to the show and are very good at what they do. You pass from one room to another and live a different advenure in every room. It is an interactive experience where the public(visitors) are included, and is better enjoyed if everyone plays the part according to instructions they give you. The only bad thing is that it is not allowed to take photos or videos of your own inside, but at the entrance they take some funny pictures of you that you can purchase at the end of the experience.

Terrifying Fun
Absolutely brilliant! Great fun and terrifying at the same time. From the time we arrived until we walked out we thoroughly enjoyed the show/experience
May 6, 2024FrequentFlier636876
Just do it!
This was a fun offbeat experience. I was accused of witchery and burned at the stake. Great fun! It was worth doing, the actors are so fun maybe a bit scary. Wink wink!

Great experience at Amsterdam Dungeon
The attraction was absolute fun. The actors were professional, funny and scary at the same time. The interactive show was hilarious. Plus we also managed to learn about Amsterdam's history!. My 13 years old daughter was literally glowing through the entire tour. I highly recommend it!

Amazing experience
It was an amazing experience, a little scary but not too much just perfect. The photos turned out amazing. It's great to buy them all in digital as me and my partner did. We really enjoyed our trip there, i think it was one of the greatest things we visited in Amsterdam. We loved it.

Amazing!
I totally loved it! My boyfriend isn’t really into scary stuff but he enjoyed it as well! It was funny and scary and we enjoyed a cup of Pop or Beer at the end. It’s an hour long and you get to do a lot as well. The characters involve you as well which makes this even better.

Saturday night entertainment
I've done the London dungeons so knew kind of what to expect, was still entertaining though and interesting to learn more about Amsterdam. Came away a certified witch....

That was Dam Scary 😰
Myself and my partner went here to experience the dark side of Amsterdam, we were not disappointed! From the start they set the mood and it only gets better from there! I screamed so loud in the Dutch mans scene! Would recommened to anyone who loves dark and scary experiences 😖

Went here right after the wax museum, with wife and daughter.
The people putting this down are have unreasonable expectations. This is a show. It’s entertainment. This isn’t a history lesson. It’s a full 90 minute show. Compared to Madame Tussaud, this was a far better deal. We spent a whole 40 minutes at the wax museum. This was fun entertainment. Lots of laughs. Lots of fun. Lots of jump scares. They include people. Just be sure your English is good or some other language they provide tours for. Free glass of beer at the end.

Well worth a visit.
We thought this was a great little activity, the actors were all very good and the audience participation kept the crack going. Not a scary activity if that's what you're looking for. Would recommend

Geweldig!
We begonnen in een groep van 10, na de eerste ruimte waren helaas al 4 mensen afgevallen omdat ze het te spannend vonden. Ik vond het geweldig! Wel spannend maar zo leuk gedaan, de combinatie van spanning, humor en informatief.
