Fun things to do with the kids in Edinburgh!
We thought it would be fun to do a quick round-up of some fantastic child-friendly places to visit across the city.

Britain’s most fun attraction and an incredible child-friendly activity! With 5 floors and over 100 exhibits of mind-bending illusions, kids will adore the entertaining and interactive approach as well as all the different sights and sounds of our attraction.
