THE door slams shut as we enter the waiting lift . . . Everything goes black and starts to shake. 3 One of the characters waiting to greet you at the London Dungeons Credit: Supplied 3 The Sun's Natalie and daughter Dulci enjoying a jump scare at the Dungeons Credit: Supplied Could we actually be stuck here? After a bit too long, the door creaks open and we pile out with relief. My 15-year-old daughter Dulci and I have come to The London Dungeon for the afternoon to be frightened out of our wits! We start by moving through a dense corridor where we are stalked by some eerie screams. We're scared already, so link arms. Then the 90-minute tour begins. As we enter a series of rooms, the grimmest, goriest stories of London's history are played out before us, by actors who are more convincing than they need to be. READ MORE TRAVEL NEWS We're in London's notorious Newgate prison, where a witch in a cage is loudly proclaiming her innocence. It's not the most salubrious of places. But wait, it's pitch black again. Oh no, now what's going on? Well, that would spoil it, wouldn't it? Let's just say it's an immersive experience. 3 See below to find out how to get tickets to the London Dungeons with The Sun Superdays Dulci deals with it by keeping her eyes firmly shut. By now we are holding hands — very tightly. We find ourselves in Mrs Lovett's pie shop. Most read in Travel She is besties with Her hearty-looking pies are filled with . . . no, let's not go there. But the blood and gore theme has just got started. Tom Daley, Stephanie Pratt, Mario Falcone and Gabby Allen try Death Express at London Dungeon for Halloween There is a dead body before us lying on a slab. Who knew an audience at an autopsy of a plague victim with a deranged surgeon could be so much fun? In fact, it is the highlight of the afternoon for Dulci. What is so glorious about The London Dungeon experience is that you know something scary is around the corner, but you can't figure out what. You can't even get any respite in the loos — as there are screams and wails in there, too. We had a memorable experience and Dulci said it was just the right level of scariness. Afterwards, it was surreal emerging into the light on the South Bank, with the Houses of Parliament standing serene across the river. Reassuring, under the circumstances.

Excited squeals My sons, George, five, and three-year-old Olly, were enchanted as we boarded the 4D flying bus driven, erratically, by their favourite character, Donkey. Water was squirted at us as we veered too close to a river, and the wind whipped our hair as we zoomed into the clouds. Cue lots of excited squeals. Hundreds of thousands of Shrek fans, including celeb mums Myleene Klass and Amy Childs, pay a visit to Shrek's Adventure! London every year. No wonder it is a TripAdvisor Traveller's Choice. On our visit, we 'crashed' the bus and bumped off one of Rumpelstiltskin's favourite witches, and were then tasked with collecting ingredients to make an escape potion. Audience participation, especially getting grown-ups to do silly things, is at the heart of this hilarious experience. Cinderella persuaded my husband Patrick, 39, to put his hand down the loo in search of gold. The kids went wild as loud fart noises filled the room. A fortune teller then directed us to the Poison Apple Pub, where we danced with barmaid Doris and bumped into Puss in Boots.

We got lost in the Mirror Maze — Olly was in awe, 'Mummy, there are loads of us!' — before Sleeping Beauty saved us. Despite the fact she kept dozing off, to much amusement, we reached The Bakery, where the Muffin Man helped us mix the elixir, spurred on by 'Gingy' The Gingerbread. The kids gasped as the cauldron bubbled. Just when we thought it was all over, we were thrown in prison. Plot twist. Fortunately, Princess Fiona was there to help us make our getaway. We were then congratulated on our heroism by Shrek, who greeted us with high-fives, before we headed back into the real world. Shrek's Adventure! London is far far and away the best day out. If only we could spend all summer there. GET TWO TICKETS THANKS to Sun Superdays you can get two tickets to Shrek's Adventure! London.
