Our Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh is a highly successful children’s science museum which takes as its theme the astounding science surrounding the past, present and future of our planet.

Over the years, Scotland has produced many eminent scientists, and our country enjoys an excellent reputation worldwide for its rich tradition of pioneering scientific achievement. It seems fitting, therefore, that one of the UK’s most popular interactive science museums is to be found right at the heart of Scotland’s bustling capital city, bringing science to life for a whole new generation of potential scientific superstars.

Innovative Science Exhibition – in the dynamic centre of Edinburgh

Science is sometimes portrayed as the preserve of the academic elite, but not here at our innovative science exhibition in Edinburgh! We pride ourselves on doing things differently and on adopting an approach that is hands-on and entertaining, whilst remaining factual and informative. The result is an all-inclusive science exhibition that’s accessible, enjoyable and enlightening for everyone, including children, mums & dads, grandparents and other family and friends.

And just as science never stands still, neither do we! Our science exhibit designers are constantly researching new concepts and driving forward the boundaries of interactive exhibits to ensure that our displays remain at the forefront of science museum technology.

The results of our dedication speak for themselves, with our inspirational galleries bringing delight to the thousands of visitors who visit us each year, whether on a family outing or on a school visit to participate in our popular educational activities.

Get your kids stuck into science for life

As a children’s science museum, we are acutely aware that children (and adults!) absorb and retain information most effectively if their learning experience is interactive, memorable and fun. That’s why these three qualities lie at core of everything we do, including our:

• Exhibitions – through hands-on, interactive techniques, our young and ‘not-so-young’ visitors alike can explore the dawning of our universe, the topological and biological wonders of our world and the possible outcomes for our planet in the future.
• Workshops for school parties – during which our experienced Education Officers focus on various elements of the school curriculum.
• Birthday parties – all three kids’ party options which we offer are fact-filled as well as great fun!

The fourteen interactive galleries in our family-focussed science exhibition in energetic Edinburgh are packed with challenging activities, stunning 3D displays and fascinating film footage – all aimed specifically at enhancing your enjoyment of learning about science, geography, the environment and history.
