This is a unique part of a very cool city. A great change from castles but it still has it's own special history. The displays and activities are engaging and great fun. You can have a fantastic educational experience or just have fun.

This is a great attraction. It doesn't seem much from the outside but is really fun and interesting. It is great for kids but equally as good for adults. You could easily spend a few hours here, there is a ton of things to see and do. At under £12 it is great value. Would highly recommend.

Brilliant experience and we went as a family with no young children ! A very interesting time and loads to keep any age interested, a must visit if you're in Edinburgh.

I last visited the Camera Obscura some 45 years ago when it was just that. The development into five fascinating floors of light related exhibits is amazing. I wondered what could possibly take two hours but after spending three hours trying all the interactive displays, I knew the answer. The advertising which says "illusions" does not reflect the huge range... More

Great place to visit, good fun, loads to see and do. All in all a fantastic Fathers Day trip for my son and his dad.

It was a wonderful introduction to a beautiful city. Would do it again. The view from the top floor terrace is breath taking and the photo op is one not to be missed. Located just before the entrance to the castle offers a very good place to begin a visit to a wonderful city

I took my nephews to camera obscura last September, we all loved it!! So much to see and do. The photo booth that changes your picture into the opposite sex, an animal, a baby etc..was the cause of much hilarity. A big thumbs up.

Great place to visit with kids! 5 floors to walk around with lots of experimental objects to try. The 5th floor has a great view of old Edinburgh, especially on a sunny day. Our favourite things to try were the vortex tunnel & the mirror maze. Well worth a visit!

We went there with three kids, ages 6, 8, and 10. The vortex tunnel and mirror maze were amazing! The camera obscura is 150 years old and still awe-inspiring. A wonderful contrast to the history of the Castle. Not to be missed!
