If you cannot move through the attraction on your own, you may bring a companion along. They can enter free of charge. However, the companion will need a (free) ticket and time slot. This must be booked 48 hours in advance via info@theamsterdamdungeon.nl.
To take advantage of the free companion arrangement, you need to make a reservation in advance. This is necessary because in many cases our colleagues in the attraction cannot judge whether or not you are able to move through the attraction independently.
The free companion ticket is tied to a purchased entrance ticket. You buy this ticket at the box office and receive a second ticket from us for free for the accompanying person. You therefore pay at the box office (and do not buy this ticket online).
