Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Over an hour from your starting point

Review

A theatrical walk through Earth's history at the foot of Arthur's Seat. Short enough for a half-day, dramatic enough for tweens. The outdoor landscape afterwards is the bonus.

Our recommendation. Climb Salisbury Crags or visit the Parliament gardens after, weather allowing.

  • Iceberg and rainforest
  • Show trail
  • Holyrood setting
  • Cafe with a view
