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.

Camera Obscura & World of Illusions

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. A swirling light vortex; a maze of mirrors; a chance to swap noses with a friend; see yourself grow, shrink, and stretch; play eye-spy with our city viewcams; and mess with your mind with brilliant visual effects! Camera Obscura & World of Illusions is open late every day with extended opening hours during school holidays. Book online here.
