Dynamic Earth, museum, ghost tours, Edinburgh Dungeon, Camera Obscura and the zoo all spring to mind. All apart from the zoo are in the city centre and easily walkable.

The National Museum is amazing and will be fun for all ages.

Check the bottom of the page for "similar threads". This question gets asked every week, so there is a ton of info in previous threads.

The owl centre is great!

use your Tesco vouchers to get half price tickets for the dungeon.

OP, scroll down to “similar threads”. There are so many good ideas on there, including for specific age children.
