Value for Money
Pros:
"Well worth the money, if you don't love fun, cheesy horror then go somewhere else."
"We had ample time to see it. It is clever and worth every penny and we got a good group on deal."
"For that price is a good laugh."
"Well worth a visit, and is great value for money."
"Cheap and cheerful however for the small asking price of 3 quid we enjoyed every minute."
"It's also fantastic value for money."
"For £4 it's great value. If you actually listen and read the stuff it takes about 20 mins, that's 20p/minute of silly scares and historic information."
Cons:
"Total waste of money! Took family in the whitby one as had been in the scarborough one and it was fab. We walked through and out the back door within 2 minutes!"
"People say it's only £4 but if there's 3 of you that £12 and so on. So can be expensive for not a lot really."
"Dreadful. The scariest part was the waste of money this place is."
"Overall a terrible dull experience that was not worth the £3 we payed each."
"Very poor don't waste your money was told that there is an actor within the experience it was just the same person who takes the money a joke not worth £1 per person."
"Paid £15 for 2 adults and a 12 year old. What a waste."
"But I did feel a tiny bit cheated paying a tenner ngl."
Experience Quality
Pros:
"The lack of any live actors is a clever twist which adds knife edge anticipation to the evil morbid atmosphere as you progress through Dracula's dark stagnant lair."
"The dracular experience is probably one of the best attractions in whitby. As it has live actors, special effects and is quite creepy and eerie."
"What was there was done in the best traditions of old school ghost train but at times told a very atmospheric story."
"Well recommended. Alton Towers could learn a lot from this attraction."
"The Dracula experience is great if you want a good scare."
"Definitely worth watching. A hilarious Dracula story in the most amazing setting of Whitby Abbey. The actors are fantastic and the show really keeps your attention and has you laughing."
"Carefully managed experience. Amazing atmosphere, with some great jump scares."
Cons:
"It is not a good place to take very young children as they would be scared and it is not wheelchair accessible either."
"Depressing, run down haunted house, which bizarrely pays tribute to the early 1990s Coppola Dracula film."
"Personally speaking, one of the worst experience ever had with this kind of genre. No interaction as advertised."
"With the uneven floors it's downright dangerous in there, most of it's broken and virtually non existent, rather than being dimly lit and spooky."
"So awful it was actually worth it. I'm somewhat disabled so trying to get around the place in the dark was the biggest challenge."
"This place is a safety issue. WOULD NOT TAKE CHILDREN AND NEEDS CLOSING DOWN OR DOING UP TO SAFETY REGULATIONS."
"The whole 'experience' has no theme apart from models of dracula, along with a jumpscare. It was actually over in 5 minutes."
Accessibility
Pros:
"They take card now which is useful, it's not accessible just FYI."
"It's £5 each (they have to make a living remember), ignore all of the bad reviews they are obviously very boring people that don't appreciate much in life!"
"Not something to take the smaller minions on as it could be a little intense for younger ones."
"Always been a family tradition to go to the dracula experience everyone we visited whitby."
"Love the Dracula Experience, years ago, when it first opened there wasn't live actors but it was still a very scary experience."
"Good value for money."
"The place is very dated but still something you should try the price of it is very reasonable for what you get."
Cons:
"It's so dark inside you could barely see any of the exhibits."
"This place needs an age rating!! We took four eight year old boys- they were terrified & burst into tears by the second jump scare!"
"At times too dark to even see where you are going."
"Very bad way to spend a £5.50 for me and my 7 Yr old son."
"Been looking forward to doing the dracula experience ever since I booked our holiday so imagine my disappointment when arriving there today on my mobility scooter to be told I couldn't go in as it wasn't disabled friendly."
"God it was terrible. Old crappy effects. Took about 3 minutes to walk through."
"The place was so dark you couldn't see anything, the 'story' couldn't be heard properly because there were so many speakers with conflicting voices all talking at once."
