Kids & Families
Edinburgh is a fine city for kids, with plenty of family-friendly attractions, rainy-day-proof museums and huge Parks & Gardens where kids can left off steam when the weather's good.
Edinburgh's frequent and efficient public transport save little legs: two kids under 5 can ride free with an adult, and the well-priced (£8.50) family ticket covers two adults and three kids.
Whatever you do, always have an indoor plan-B in case the weather turns miserable. The National Museum of Scotland is always a good standby.
Attractions
For kids the pick of Edinburgh's many attractions are certainly Edinburgh Zoo, for all ages, and Edinburgh Castle for kids old enough to dream-up knights-and-princess fantasies.
