This was highly entertaining and informative. We spent about 90 minutes in there. All the actors were great and we learnt a lot of history. The only improvements I'd add is adding lockers for bags as there's nowhere to put them. Also perhaps having toilets on the premises. But apart from that it was great!!

Visited today with my two sisters and we had so much fun. Enjoyed all the rooms even the ones we got "picked on" in with other the actors making the experience very informative, scary and entertaining. Jumped out of our skins several times with the 2nd to last room being the most scariest. Would definitely recommend.

Loved it, it was funny and really enjoyable
