This was a fantastic day out. We loved how the place takes you on a 'journey' through time. Each room is very different to the last. All the staff were enthusiastic and friendly. It was well worth a visit! Tickets are slightly cheaper online. Take note of the times for the planetarium shows.
A must visit. The staff were excellent, everyone were very helpful and engaging. The planetarium show 'You are here' was very good. The lady who presented it did a great job.
Beautiful venue to attend a concert. The only issue it was too hot and they didn't have AC, I know it's Scotland and many places don't have AC, apart from that beautiful place.
A very worthwhile experience if it's your first time, interesting and informative with something of a focus on the history of Earth Science that is rare to see. But if you have been before then it's not much changed since your last visit, the parking is expensive (and poorly signposted) and the lifts to the car park may not be working.
Group of 3 of us in our mid 20s and we had an excellent time! The staff are incredibly friendly, approachable and knowledgable. Unlike most museums the food was excellent, with vegan and gluten free options. Also reasonably priced. The biosphere and exhibits are well thought out and take you on a guided journey of the Earths geological and ecological history. A great place for science nerds!
Absolutely must visit in Edinburgh. It's amazing experience for children and adults. All staff were great. You can get really nice food after in the café. There is charge for parking.
What an outstanding exhibition! Wether your an Adult or Child you are going to absolutely love this place. It's interactive, there's a Time Machine, you get to fly in a 3D Jet and Operate a Deep Sea ROV and the 360° Auditorium is literally out of this world! It very educational and will open your eyes as to where it all began. We enjoyed it so much.....we're coming back with the whole family.
Really enjoyed our visit here as it suits all ages. You walk through different areas, each with a different theme. You are guided through by staff who were all helpful and enthusiastic about the area they look after. The planetarium at the end was excellent, different shows happen throughout the day. We saw ‘You are here’ which was great talk given by an enthusiastic astronomer with amazing visuals.
A nice place to visit. You have to book your tickets in advance for the planetarium shows which is a little annoying because it’s hard to say how long it will take you to get round because a lot of the beginning is watching videos until you can walk around freely. We ended up missing our show because we have never visited before so it took us longer than anticipated to walk round.
