About Dynamic Earth: Edinburgh's Science Centre

A visit to Dynamic Earth is a chance to experience the forces that have shaped our planet. It takes you through a journey to space and back and even goes on an adventure around the world.

You'll be astonished by the interactive adventure, traveling back to the beginning of time in the Time Machine and witnessing the Big Bang first hand. Experience the universe as you rocket through space in a spaceship, experience travel at light speed, and witness stars exploding on the other side of the galaxy. Get the feel of the ground as molten lava flows straight towards you, and volcanoes throw clouds of ash and gas into the sky. By far one of the best experiences is the Polar Ice Caps which gives you the opportunity to touch an iceberg for yourself. Tourists feel numb and can feel their hands turning cold as they stand beneath the Aurora Borealis. A must see when you are in Edinburgh.

Tips

  • Here are a few things which you can remember
  • If you travel there via a city sightseeing bus, you can purchase tickets for Our Dynamic Earth off them, with a 10% discount. 
  • The tickets also included a 30-minute show in a dome, so make sure to do this at the end of the tour!
  • The staff is quite friendly and supportive 
  • Its a fun learning session for younger kids and educational for slightly older kids. I would highly recommend the cinema shows.
  • Also, the cafe is great so when you're here you must visit this place especially for a coffee
