About Medieval Torture Museum Ticket
The 7,000-square-foot exhibition space transports visitors from the dungeons of 13th-century Europe to the torture chambers of the Spanish Inquisition, covering the full range of devices used across medieval and early modern history — the rack, the iron maiden, the breaking wheel, the thumbscrew, the stocks, and hundreds more instruments of restraint, interrogation, and execution. Wax sculptures of executioners and victims are positioned beside each device, allowing visitors to understand not just what the instruments looked like but how they were used — creating an immersive and deeply confronting experience that is equal parts education and dark entertainment. The professionally narrated audio guide — available in both English and Spanish and collected from the greeter on arrival — provides detailed historical context for every exhibit, making the visit as informative as it is visceral.
The included Ghost Hunting Experience adds a completely different dimension to the visit — downloading the dedicated app before or on arrival allows guests to hunt for paranormal activity through the museum's atmospheric corridors as part of a thrilling second layer of engagement running alongside the historical exhibits. Private Ghost Hunting Tour bookings are also available for groups who want the full experience with only their own party. The museum is entirely self-guided, meaning guests can spend as little as an hour or linger considerably longer — visitor reviews consistently note that those who take time to read the full audio guide descriptions get the most out of the experience.

Insiders' Tips
Download the Ghost Hunting app before you arrive to make the most of it during your visit — the app enhances the experience significantly when used alongside the audio guide rather than separately. Bring your own headphones as a set of earphones makes following the audio guide considerably more comfortable throughout the exhibition. The museum is open until 11:00 PM on weekdays and midnight on weekends — a late evening visit after dark is consistently described by visitors as the most atmospheric and enjoyable time to experience the collection.
