I had no expectations and so we were thoroughly impressed by our visit. The good things are the friendly staff, the excellent and well priced cafe, varied shop and above all the really interesting content of the displays. I am sure that it may be a little boring for teenagers who cannot be bothered to read the information, but we... more

Totally boring and overated. If this was a Millenium Project it makes the Millenium Dome look like money well spent. Completely boring with needless acting from those that work in it. more

It is basically an exhibition with lots of multimedia films in different rooms. Not enough there to keep a 6 yr old interested. We only managed to spin it out for 2 hours. For the same money we could have gone to Edinburgh Zoo which would have provided a whole day out. Also the movie theatre was not working as... more

This was one of the first attractions on our 'ToDo' list and we loved it. Yes, its geared to children... and we have none.. :o) but it is a simple educational\fun attraction. The information is well presented and although much of the information is on screens, there is much to see, listen to and to touch. Prime example's are the... more

We have just returned from a 3 day visit to Edinburgh. We were very excited at the idea of experiencing a volcanic eruption and seeing primordial soup, but in reality the whole thing was a letdown. To me, the whole 'attraction' was room after room of television screens and facts being spurted at you. As intelligent 20 something adults we... more

My two kids went by themselves to see Our Dynamic Earth and they loved it! They really enjoyed some mirrors that looked like the image was coming back at them...so my daughter acted like she was hitting someone and it looked like she was hitting herself. They also enjoyed the space suit they could get in and have their pictures... more

Like most Edinburgh attractions, it is expensive if you pay full price. We only went in as it was free with our pass. Interesting and informative displays with lots of chance for interaction. Would be very good with children above a certain age. more

Maybe I had too high an expectation, but never the less this was possibly one of the wotst musuems / exhibitions I have ever been. Expensive, pointless & extremely boring. more

A nice novelty for my children who live in a small regional town in Australia. We only got audio guides for them thinking there would be enough for the adults to read without the guides. We were wrong. There really was nothing to digest without the audio guides, and my girls weren't that interested in them either. The principal of... more
