We went here because it was included in our Edinburgh Pass and we still had some time before our dinner reservation. We caught the last show (6pm) and I have to say that it was quite informative. It was neat to see the city that way and the presenter was well informed. There was a family with a crying baby,... More

Even on a cloudly rainy day this was a terrific experience, with lots of hands-on activities on all five floors. More

I loved the spinning Tunnel, got seasick. Have your head served on a tableplatter More

We really enjoyed this, the camera obscura is fascinating and I can understand how amazing it was all those years ago. Having been to Ripleys in blackpool and London I had seen these types of optical illusions before but they were still fun and we enjoyed wandering round. More

We popped in on a whim since it is right on the way to the castle. Had so much fun! Two adults and four kids took about 2 hours to get through the whole event. In hindsight, I would have skipped the actual camera obscure show on the top floor since it is quite dark in the room when they... More
