London Dungeon

KidRated’s London Dungeon Top Tips:


Come and encounter a terrifyingly fun time at The London Dungeon. This immersive attraction offers a fun and spooky journey through the darker side of London’s history, making it an exciting day out for children and teens.

 

Kids will love the live actors, special effects, and interactive storytelling that bring historical events to life. They’ll meet infamous characters like Jack the Ripper and Sweeney Todd, and learn about events like the Great Fire of London and the plague in a way that’s both entertaining and informative. The engaging performances and realistic sets create an unforgettable experience that will keep your kids captivated.

 

One of the highlights for families is the thrilling rides. The Tyrant Boat Ride takes you on a dark and twisting journey through Traitor’s Gate, while Drop Dead: Drop Ride to Doom provides an exhilarating free-fall drop that’s sure to get hearts racing. These rides add an extra layer of excitement to the historical tales.

 

While the London Dungeons is spooky and thrilling, it’s designed to be fun rather than genuinely frightening, making it suitable for older children and teens. Younger kids may find some parts a bit intense, so consider their comfort levels before visiting.

 

With its mix of history, excitement, and a few scares, the London Dungeons is a must-visit for families exploring London.

I’ve been to London Dungeons a few times and they never fail to impress. As I’ve gotten older, I’m slowly becoming a little more immune to some of the scares but nevertheless, this place always gets my heart thumping. Unlike a haunted house or spooky museum, the thing I love here is that it’s a full 90 mins of immersive scares. I’d recommend it to any teen that likes a good spook.

  • While the actors are quite funny this is also quite scary so it’s best for teens.
  • There are two rides and on one you do get wet. The other ride makes your tummy leap and your hair stand on end (you’ll photographic proof after!)
  • Before you start your tour you do have to pass live cockroaches and rats. They are safely behind glass and the braver souls can pop their head up inside the rat enclosure.
