Repeat Visitor
Courtney_M, Apr 2024
Loved it so much I went back the next day. Mostly it was because I realized I hadn’t used the ghost hunting app they had to its full potential and wanted to try again. But I also realized on my second visit I had missed a few things because I’d been distracted by using the ghost hunting app. So I took time the second visit to lift, pull and turn some of the displays that I hadn’t before. It’s a super interesting museum that had me scratching my head about all the ways we’ve found to punish each other over the centuries, and all the devices we’ve created to do it.
Great experience …..

This was a fun and interactive experience. Interesting to learn about the different means of torture and why…. Glad to live in this century!
See it to believe it !
Lesa_W, Mar 2024
It was an eye-opening experience to see some of the gruesome torture devices! Crazy that these things were actually used on people in midieval times.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Lesa, thank you for your great review! We are happy that you found the visit to the museum eye-opening!
Trying a little too hard
Phillip_A, Nov 2023
It was okay, but kind of lame. The audio for the self guided tour was trying to sound sinster and kept giving unnecessary backstory to specific victims. I think it would have been much better if it just explained the how the torture worked and the types of people that were subjected to it and left it at that. Maybe I would have liked it better in high school, but not any older. The staff seemed really nice though.
Response from Host, Nov 2023

It's essential for us to provide an engaging and interactive experience for our visitors, which is why some of the information about our displays may seem simplified. However, please rest assured that all the information we provide is accurate.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!

Very interesting museum. This is one place I had booked before my hotel and was not disappointed. Really enjoyed it despite the macabre subject of the museum. Very friendly staff. Loved how everything was set up and loved there was a virtual tour and ghost hunting app you could do along with your visit. 10/10.
Awesome experience!

Must check this place out
Veronica_A, Sep 2022
Super cool! Was a tiny bit gore-y but also super informative. Our trip revolved around museums and this one was probably the most fun! Check it out if you’re ever DT!
Spooky but interesting

Shelley_R, Mar 2022
Good and very interesting to learn history. Was chilling listening to the audio. Was just long enough.
Great experience, a part from it being what it is...
Ashley_H, Mar 2022
The best part is the audio guides. It is nice to have the background story on the creepy items. The guides sometimes have a background story for a person the items were used on.. scary and sad. There is also a small gift shop.
Definitely a must see, creepy, disturbing and FUN!
