We visited this week with our two boys of 9 & 10 yrs and we thought it was fantastic. There's plenty for adults and kids here and we spent a good two hours exploring. Also, you don't get herded through and can go back to visit things again if you wish- a welcome change on the tourist trail! You can... more
I was recently at the Camera Obscura , nice visit and exhibits except the zoom eye camera machine on the third or fourth floor was not working , which was a pity. While in the dark room session on the fifth floor , I was jostled by some one , didnt think much of it at the time but when... more
Dear Visitor Thank you for taking the time to comment on your visit. While I am pleased to hear you enjoyed your visit and and the exhibits, I am very sorry to hear you lost your camera. At the time we searched the building for it from top to bottom. As I said in our correspondence, it is the first...
Really enjoyed this attraction. Was great to see Edinburgh in a different light. Also, enjoyed all the different rooms with various activities. Well recommended . more
I went here on the basis of some of the review here It cost £8.50 which is reasonable they do a show at the very top of the building where you can look over Edinburgh. There is also some really good view points on the top and binoculars to see more. After the show I made my way down the... more
Went with my 29 year old brother, 2 kids under 8 and my mom. Fun and interesting - worth the visit and highly recommended. more
I went here last week with my parents (late 60s) and my two boys (8&10) and we all had a fantastic time and best of all used my Tesco Days out vouchers so it was a real bargain. On entry you are given a timed ticket for a 15 minute presentation in the Camera Obscura which is on the top... more
We went on our last day and found this to be the best place we have visited in Edinburgh so far. We spent a good 2 hours there, the exhibitions are all so unique and amazing. The gift shop is the best I have ever been in- bought all of my presents in there. This is fab for adults and... more
My boyfriend & I visited camera obscura & we absolutely loved it. I'll be honest & say I hadn't heard of the place before visiting Edinburgh & came accross it by accident really. But I was so delighted we did find it. We spent a couple of hours there & were kept amused & entertained for the whole visit. There... more
My kids loved this, (entry was free with our Edinburgh Pass) To see holograms, optical illusions and spy on people out on the street was very funny,(so please if your near here dont pick your nose as you never know who is watching) I would take my kids (11&13) back here as we squeezed the visit in at 7pm and... more
We had high hopes for this attraction, but it wasn't worth the money. We spent less than an hour there, and even then, we were stretching to try to get our money's worth. We had seen many of the exhibits and technologies before at our local science center so there really wasn't anything that "wow'ed us". The big thing is... more
