Rainy days in Scotland can put a real damper on plans for a family outing, but fortunately even the darkest rain clouds hold no fears for visitors to Our Dynamic Earth.

Whatever the weather’s doing outside, Edinburgh’s revolutionary indoor family attraction offers a full range of multi-sensory, educational activities suitable for children and parents alike.

Our Dynamic Earth is a state-of-the-art, all-year-round indoor attraction for families who want to combine a great day out with learning lots about the planet that we call home. So that makes us the perfect place to visit if you’re looking for things to see and do in Edinburgh or even seeking a highly original venue for birthday parties in Edinburgh.

Five-star indoor family attraction in Edinburgh

As befits one of Scotland’s top indoor family attractions, Our Dynamic Earth offers a fully immersive interactive experience that’s jam-packed with fact-finding fun.

Providing a perfect indoor venue for those infamous Scottish rainy days, our exciting exhibition galleries are as entertaining as they are educational. Indeed our unique blend of fact and fun makes for a highly popular indoor attraction which appeals to all ages.

A visit to Our Dynamic Earth offers flexible leisure and learning opportunities for all the family. For example:

• You can explore the whole exhibition as a family group.
• Mum or dad can spend a little longer in one of the galleries with an older child who wants to research a school history or science project.
• Granny or grandpa can take younger brothers or sisters to the Food Chain Café for a welcome tea (or juice!) break or a sustaining lunch before tackling the next step of the journey.

Rainy days with a difference

If you’re hunting for a fun day out in Edinburgh, you’ll be spoilt for choice when you see the vast range of activities on offer in Our Dynamic Earth’s dramatically different indoor and outdoor galleries.

At each carefully researched and stunningly presented stage of your epic journey through history, a chapter of the story of our amazing universe – past, present and perhaps future – will unfold before your very eyes.

During your visit, we’ll transport you back through time… across continents… and from one climatic extreme to another. Chill out beside the giant iceberg in our Polar Extremes gallery or swelter in the sultry heat of the tropical rain forest, as you discover more about these and other endangered places on planet Earth.
