The ultimate 3D experience in Scotland - fun for all the family

Memories are so much more fun when you can share them with family and friends, often many moons later. That’s why it’s so important to spend precious time today creating long-lasting memories for tomorrow with the people who matter in your life.

Mark you, finding a destination that everyone can agree on for family day trips isn’t always easy. And ensuring that the day is memorable for the right reasons can be equally tricky... But, thankfully, we have devised the perfect solution: a whole world (quite literally!) of fun for all the family, complete with hands-on exhibits and a spell-binding 3Dexperience.

Scotland’s capital, a magnet for families in its own right, provides the perfect backdrop for an epic day out that all your friends and relations are sure to enjoy.

Top 3D experience with a magical fourth dimension

We pride ourselves on delivering family entertainment in Edinburgh that is both pioneering and world-class. And within our futuristic building, deep in the heart of the renowned Scottish capital, we continue to do precisely that, being one of the first 4D visitor attractions in Scotland.

What better way to describe the wonders of our amazing planet earth than in glorious stereoscopic 3D? Simple: by adding a breath-taking fourth dimension to the experience!

Now, instead of just imagining the snow falling in the Alps, you’ll actually see it falling from the “skies” above you in our state-of-the-art 4D cinema, where vivid audiovisuals are inspirationally complemented by authentic smells and sensations.

The outcome is a truly unforgettable experience that will keep you riveted to your seat - which, incidentally, is fitted with an aptly named “Butt-kicker”, a novel technological twist that adds a certain bumpy authenticity to the ride.

3D experience in Scotland for all ages and stages

It’s only logical that the best destinations for family days out in Scotland include elements guaranteed to appeal to a wide variety of age groups and interests. This is where we win hands down (or rather hands-on!) when it comes to keeping the whole family occupied and entertained.

Our 14 fun-filled galleries contain a veritable treasure trove of exciting facts and experiences which stimulate and engage visitors young and old - not to mention in-between - from the moment they arrive.

In fact, so captivated are some of our guests by the sheer scale of the tale that we tell about planet Earth’s awe-inspiring origins that they regularly return for another helping of our unique brand of natural history learning.
