Dynamic Earth

Multi-media geography lesson

Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh

The natural environment comes alive at Our Dynamic Earth, mostly to teach kids what's going on out there.

It's all about simulations: volcanic eruptions; ice ages; floor-shaking earthquakes; and monsoon deluges. There's also lots of things to investigate and buttons to push with whizz-bang results.

So most kids will love it, and their parents give it 4 out-of 5 stars on tripadvisor: a pretty firm seal of approval as a rainy-day option.

This part of town has few eating options, so plan to picnic in the adjacent Holyrood park, or head up the Royal Mile to browse options there.
