Many adults look back fondly on happy childhood memories of family days out and are thrilled that Scotland has a state-of-the-art science museum that’s ideal for families looking for fun days out in Edinburgh.

Every year, thousands of families flock to Our Dynamic Earth, attracted by the fascinating way in which we intermingle fact with fun. Parents and children alike appreciate the way in which we combine science and history into an enthralling account of the life of an awe-inspiring and incredible place – our home, Planet Earth.

Fun days out in Edinburgh for all the family

A visit to Our Dynamic Earth is not just your average family day out… In each of our fourteen specially designed galleries there are interactive exhibits and activities galore, all guaranteed to catch the attention of kids from 3–12 years – not to mention their mums, dads and grandparents.

As an indoor family attraction which also features outside entertainment we are never at the mercy of the elements, so we can offer the same superb level of interactive family entertainment all year round, regardless of what the weather’s doing.

Our hard-working exhibition designers are always at pains to ensure that the extensive choice of exhibits and presentations we offer provide interest and stimulus for a wide range of age groups. As a result, everyone in the family goes home happy from Our Dynamic Earth.

Variety is the spice of life… on planet earth

Thanks to the eclectic array of exhibitions and activities available in our various galleries, each family member will have the opportunity to focus on their personal interest, be it:

• Earthquakes.
• Volcanoes.
• Icebergs.
• Rainforests.
• Dinosaurs.
• Elevenses(!)

Naturally elevenses don’t feature in any of the exhibition galleries, but you will find plenty of juice and snacks, not to mention delicious lunchtime dishes and tempting teas in our popular Food Chain Café.

And if your child’s birthday is coming up, we’d be delighted to tell you all about our range of great birthday party ideas.

Our Dynamic Earth – great family days out… inside and out!
