Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket or is a mobile ticket accepted?
A mobile ticket shown on your phone is accepted at the entrance — no printing needed.
Can children visit the Berlin Dungeon?
Children under 8 are strictly not permitted. Those aged 8–9 are not recommended due to the nature of the content. Children under 15 must be accompanied by a paying adult aged 18 or over.
Can I still visit if I cannot go on the Drop Ride?

Yes — the experience includes flashing lights, strobe light sequences, and distinctive smells as part of the atmospheric effects. If you are sensitive to these, please bear this in mind before booking.
What is the difference between the English and German show tickets?

What is the combo ticket with Madame Tussauds?
The combo ticket bundles entry to the Berlin Dungeon (English show) with a standard ticket to Madame Tussauds Berlin, offering both attractions in one booking.
