Creepy Attraction At San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf Permanently Closes

An oddball tourist attraction in San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf is coming to an end. According to SFGATE, the San Francisco Dungeon has closed its doors for good.

The immersive attraction inside the Jefferson Street building featured an hour-long ride. The San Francisco Dungeon announced its closure in a statement posted on the front page of its official website.

“​​Like The Gold Rush of 1849 and a saloon brawl, all good things come to an end! The San Francisco Dungeon has told its last tales and is now permanently closed,” reads the statement. “But, be warned, like the ghosts of Alcatraz, our mischief may find new ways to haunt you.”

For seven years, guests were taken on a guided walking tour and an underground boat ride that took them through San Francisco's history as actors told creepy tales about the Gold Rush era and the lost mines of Sutter's Mill, Alcatraz, and the Barbary Coast.

According to SFGATE, the attraction's sets with animatronics and special effects were once led by 36 actors who put on nine live shows per day. They also reported that when the San Francisco Dungeon opened in June 2014, it was the first location of an international chain of dungeon-themed attractions to appear in the U.S.
