Good wet weather places for kids?

[HelterSkelter]

...ideally that are not too crowded (because of swine flu), for a mix of kids ages from toddlers up. I'm trying to fix a day out in Edinburgh but live an hour away and don't know the best places to go. Will drive in.

You looking for free/cheap? Or willing to pay higher admission prices?

Hi mawbroon - would prefer cheap, but will pay if necc.

Thank you for these - great ideas! Where would be the best place to park for these? I will have a 2 year old + baby and pram on my own and want to avoid getting drenched getting there if poss (heavy rain forecast tomorrow).

If you were at the Camera obscura, there is a tartan shop next door where they have a small weaving exhibition. It's not worth trekking to on it's own, but will kill another few minutes if you were up there anyway.

Museum is good. The main part is shut just now, but there is still loads to see in the new bit. I say new bit LOL, it's probably 10 years old by now!! They don't really advertise this, but if you ask them, they will say it's ok to eat a packed lunch on the mustard coloured seat near the old red car at the entrance. I made the mistake of once eating a packed lunch with two toddlers in the EMPTY schools section, only for a jobsworth to tell me to move. FFS.

Hope you have a good day!

Thank you, I got these after the day out in the end. Have made a note of them all for future reference and no doubt will be going soon!

We went to Mollys soft play for the first time at the Ocean terminal. He loved it so much I barely saw him for 3 hours!

Glad you had a lovely time.

Blimey, three hours at Molly's??? You've got stamina!!
