What to See and Do in Edinburgh

Visit the Royal Mile, Edinburgh's oldest street, and half way down why not visit the Museum of Childhood, this is 'the noisiest museum in the world' as you can imagine.

After reminiscing at the Museum of Childhood, why not pop into Plaisir du Chocolat. This café has the finest and extensive selection of teas from around the world, 130 to be precise! With its excellent value and range of cakes to share, this cafe is the ideal family location and certainly one that will put on the pounds!

Next on the agenda is Dynamic Earth. One of Edinburgh's most exciting, "must see" attractions. Take a thrilling journey back in time and learn about our planet Earth. From eleven galleries to choose from, the 'Polar Regions' to the 'Tropical Rainforests', Dynamic earth will certainly put those young minds into overdrive.

After Dynamic Earth why not drop beneath the shopping streets, in the bowels of the city to Edinburgh Dungeon. Take a trip back in time through the more sinister side of Edinburgh's past, taking in the plague, vampires, witches and infamous grave-robbers, Burke and Hare. Beware this is not for the faint hearted!!!

By now the children will be tired, so why not all come back to the Howard for some hot chocolate and Afternoon Tea.
