The Amsterdam Dungeon

I’ve recently found my old account for Unilocal and I’m in the midst of transferring over my reviews. The rating and the review are exactly the same so their overall review didn’t change as I’ve deleted my reviews from my old account and it’s not inactive. Reposting the old reviews with my previous ratings was the only way I can transfer these over unfortunately.

After I left Madame Tussaud’s I was kind of skeptical about coming to the Amsterdam Dungeon, because I thought it’d be like the scary walk in the wax museum but instead it’s a whole building with JUST that :[ But we got there and asked a worker what it was like, he explained, we decided to stay. simple. Right when we walked in they took a picture of me chopping off my boyfriend’s head :] nice! Then we proceeded. It was basically a bunch of different rooms with an actor, and they engage the audience into the history of it. It was actually very cool! I suggest if you have young kids, you might want to skip this. A kid about 9 started to cry in one room and another got so spooked he jumped onto me. But if you’re not a kid and want to learn some real horrible history of the Dutch in a fun way, then this is it!

I went to the Amsterdam Dungeon because it had pretty good reviews on Unilocal,plus a friend of mine recommend it, plus it was raining. I paid 19.50 € for an experience that felt more like 5 € one. It wasn’t scary or entertaining enough for me to recommend this experience.

My favourite attraction I visited at my stay in Amsterdam. Really funny and jumpy show where you learn about the Amsterdam dungeons and the people who lived there! I was chosen as the town witch so I had to stand up in an act and pretend to get burned at the stake. Pretty embarrassing but fun too ha! A lot of parts in the tour your in the dark so if that frightens you I’d give this one a miss. Really worth a visit!

It was a good museum but I wasn’t that scared by it all. The museum itself was actually structure correctly like an dungeon. The actors were really convincing with the roles they were given to play. The hall of mirrors were awesome because the leader couldn’t get us out.

No es un gran show, la escenografía y los actores son buenos pero no crean un ambiente de miedo como el que debería ser y al final se te hace eterno el recorrido.
It’s not a great show. The scenarios and actors are good but it doesn’t make you feel scared like it should and it last forever.

J’adore les «Donjons» comme ça, j’avais déjà fait ceux de Berlin et de Londres donc j’ai aussi fait celui d’Amsterdam pour continuer dans ma lancée. Je n’ai pas été déçue, les acteurs sont très bons. C’est parfois un peu angoissant mais c’est le but de cette attraction. Je reste fan et je vous le recommande! (Pensez à prendre vos billets en ligne pour payer moins cher et éviter la queue!)

Pour une attraction de ce genre, j’avoue que j’ai été très agréablement surprise par le Donjon d’Amsterdam.
Le jeu d’acteur est vraiment bon, la mise en scèné est top, les participations du public sont très réussies, les décors, effets sonores et visuels nous mettent vraiment dans une ambiance réaliste et c’es très simple de se prêter au jeu.
J’avoue que je me suis blottie plus d’une fois contre le bras de mon accompagnateur et que j’ai sursauté aussi plusieurs fois.
Je né vous raconte ni le scénario ni les surprises parce que ça vaut le coup de le faire, juste pour le fun.
Le prix d’entrée est un peu cher mais encore une fois, l’animation vaut le détour.
Et vous, oserez-​vous franchir le seuil du château hanté et survivrez-​vous à cette aventure?

Man erfährt hier NICHTS über die Geschichte Amsterdams. Es ist nur reine Abzocke. Eine echte Touristenfalle.
Nicht, wie angekündigt 80 Minuten sondern lediglich 60 Minuten lang, würden wir von einem Raum in den nächsten geschickt. Es war nicht gruselig, spannend oder irgendwas in der Art. Jede «Show» lief ungefähr gleich ab nur immer mit anderer Thematik. Ist sein Geld leider überhaupt nicht wert.

Kurz und knapp, genauso wie das Dungeon:
Die Tour war nichtmal eine Stunde lang, es wurde relativ wenig über die Geschichte von Amsterdam erzählt und man wurde schnell von Raum zu Raum geschickt.
Die Schauspieler sprachen alle samt ein sehr verständliches Englisch und die Kulissen und Kostüme sahen sehr gut aus.
Am Ende wurde man dann mehrfach aufgefordert sein Foto-​Ticket vorzuzeigen, damit man für 20 € schlecht gemachte Fotos kaufen kann.
Direkt danach kam dann der Souveniershop und anschließend war man komplett draußen.
Ich habe mir mehr darunter vorgestellt, gerade für 22 €.
Empfehlenswert für alle, die noch nie in einem Dungeon waren, damit man mal einen Eindruck bekommt. Jedoch ist dieser Dungeon kein Vergleich zu denen in Hamburg und London.

A great place to get the crap scared out of you, if that’s your thing. I think a few of the girls ahead of us actually list it and wet themselves.
The dungeon has very realistic. Great actors, and I’ll not spoil the surprise.
If you don’t mind sleeping with lights on for a few nights, it’s a very cool place. If you have a lot of unresolved traumas, then maybe not so cool…

My husband and I had a great time here. The actors are great and I learned a little history while I am here.

I was told Amsterdam was a liberal city, so when I was caught, and burnt at the stake for, inciting Beelzebub by dancing naked round Dam Sq, screaming «SEND ME A MAN!» I began to doubt just how open minded this city is!
This is the 3^rd city I’ve seen the Dungeon tour, after Edinburgh and London, and Amsterdam did not disappoint. Friendly, yet terrifying staff, and gruesome special effects, coupled with great performances from the actors made this one hour tour feel like 5 minutes, in the true sense of time flying when you’re having fun.

It’s a very touristy and cheesy experience, but we had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. It’s supposed to be scary, but I found it just entertaining :) Throughout the experience, you learn more about the history and I prefer to learn through the interactive approach they have vs just reading and walking through a museum. My out of town friends loved it and still ask about going back when they’re in town. If you’re in the area, have some time to spare, and like some history, stop by!

Since I got one free ticket for the Amsterdam dungeon, me and my partner decided to check it out! We didn’t really know what to expect, so that made it extra exciting!
When we went inside we gathered in a small group of people and went inside the dungeon with them. I don’t wanna spoil much, but I can tell you that you get a funny, exciting tour through the dungeon! In the dungeon actors perform quite a creepy funny show in which they also involve people from the group, which makes some funny scenarios!
You’ll end the tour with a very cool, special ending and you exit through the Amsterdam dungeon shop in which they sell all kind of creepy halloween-​like stuff! You can also buy a picture as a souvenir that they make unexpectetly of you in the dungeon!
If you want to experience something unusual, creepy and cool I really recommend going here!

LOVE it! Any _​_​_​_​_​_​Dungeon is definitely worth visiting (London, Paris, etc.), but I am partial to this one in Amsterdam.
This place is a great way to learn about the often untold or hidden gruesome tales and history of Amsterdam. Nasty tales of scurvy at sea and the black plague throughout the Netherlands will be told with help of actors and wonderfully decorated rooms.
The tour is guided and starts with a picture opportunity to chop off your loved ones/​buddys heads, which you can pick up as a keepsake later. Your tourguide will take you through the ‘museum’ room by room, a different story told in each one.
They utilize lighting, sound effects and even moving equipment to create a very lifelike experience and delivery. The overall feel is gruesome and fun, I would not call it scary or disturbing but for the faint of heart there are a few ‘jumpy’ moments awaiting you. Some of these actors look pretty… real.
The tour concludes with a fun, optional rollercoaster ride through the dark. I’ve been twice, and would come back a third time without hesitation, it’s simply that much fun.
The Dungeon is a very fun, interactive way to learn interesting facts about Amsterdam, and I highly recommend stopping in.

Great place if you are a tourist and never been to the netherlans. Kind of interesting to see they show 10 different shows and have 7 terrifying actors and a mini roller coaster at the end of the tour with a tiny drop. Great for kids. Not to expensive. It is diffentely a must see. I was laughing cause it was kind of cheesing how the characters were dressed and act but I loved it. They also pick people from the crowd and will torture them for a bit. There is a labyrith mirror maze which was pretty neat getting lost in there for a few mintues. Bad flaw is they don’t allow you to take any pictures so BOOOOO on that.
