London Dungeon

First I would like to say that the website for London Dongeon stated it was kid ffriendly. I completely disagree. I did not find it appropriate for children. We left early with two very upset kids. Second I myself have been to Haunted houses that were set up temporarly for Halloweeen that were much better done with better effects. I thought for the money they charged, it would have been a more quality attraction.

We arrived early and we where told the queue was about 1 hour long - three hours later we finally got in but we felt we were being rushed through I suspect so they could get the whole queue in before closing time. We had to ask to leave early after half an hour as we had to catch our train home - We did enjoy what we managed to see and the review might have been better had we seen the whole attraction. Can I suggest to management that if they know the queues are going to take so long to clear, firstly they are honest with their customers about waiting times and secondly, take a leaf out of Disney's book and provide some entertainment for those queueing. Also buy your tickets using many of the offers around because I would have been disappointed had we paid £70+ for a family of 4.

My fiancee and I love haunted houses, and although the London Dungeon isn't quite a haunted house, it still was a lot of fun. We had just flown into London from the US west coast, so we had not slept in more than 24 hours but we chose to stay up to avoid jet lag and this was the first place we went to. The thrill ride at the end of the Dungeon sure woke us up! Overall it was like a mix between a history museum, a play, and a haunted house and it was a fun experience for us. Probably not the best for young children, and if you're an adult expecting something really scary then you might be disappointed. Also, I'm glad that we chose not to pay extra for priority skip-the-line tickets. I had read that the line can be pretty long, but we went later in the day about an hour before it closed and walked right in.
