Days out in Edinburgh/Fife/Perth area

[fartmeistergeneral]

Along the lines of Deep Sea World and Dynamic Earth? For 9 and 7 year old boys....

Any ideas?

the museum in chambers street has space age travel, formula one cars etc just now

museum of flight

or the castle? boys love the castle. lots of military stuff inside

the camera obscura is good fun

hth

the secret bunker is in fife

not been but apparently boys love it!

I personally don't think Deep sea world is worth the money!

The museum of childhood on the Royal Mile is good as well.
You could take them to the beach in Fife - Anstruther, St Andrews etc all have good beaches

The adventure centre at Ratho - climbing wall, sky walk

Oh yes, the Secret Bunker is great. The DSes loved it, especially DS2 who thought it was great fun being in tunnels that he could get lost in

perth leisure pool is good - also the pool at leven is good too - the ones kirkcaldy and glenrothes are utter shite

kinnoull hill is the best place for a walk in a nice day - i seriously lvoe it

thanks for all these - had forgotten about the secret bunker - I loved that when I went years ago, but freaked me out somewhat. My ds1 would love the idea of that.

Ratho is fab, but a nightmare to get booked onto. I phoned 2 weeks ago to book ds2 (adventurous little kid) onto the pebbles class, and they were full til the end of March!!!!!!!

what about murrayfield ice rink

Also second nialy's idea about teh Castle. The Dses love it. of course we only used to pay part cost, DH always got in for free with his Forces ID card!
It is expensive, but you can spend hours there

it is expensive yes

take your own food - i find going to the cafe etc at any tourist attraction place really is daylight robbery.
