The owl centre is great!

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

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

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.
