Completely free — one of Scotland’s most visited family attractions across six floors spanning natural history, science, technology, and world cultures. Kids love Dolly the cloned sheep, the T. rex skeleton, and interactive science galleries. Stroller-friendly lifts serve all floors; dedicated nursing/family room near the main entrance. Arrive at opening (10am) on weekends as it gets very busy.
