Interesting interactive experience in Edinburgh! Take a journey through time to discover how the earth was formed and explore the different periods. Finish your experience with a great planetarium show. Cafe on site with good food offerings.
During the 18th century, Edinburgh was one of the greatest scientific centres of the world, being a place where the idea of geological uniformitarianism was born. That legacy of scientific exploration and analysis has its 21st century ecological air in the dynamic Earth building. The building looks modern and sleek without being kitschy. It reminds me of the futurism in design that was extremely popular during the 1960s and 1970s, a time of unprecedented optimism about space and progress. As indicated by the name, the exhibits inside discuss growth and flux and constant transformation. Even the Scottish earth, the exhibit discusses, was formed in different waves over hundreds of millions of years, and even the rock to the north side of the island is much older than the rock to the south. Earth is not still and constant, but constantly morphing and transforming.
A very interactive and guided earth history museum good for adults with kids over a variety of ages (10, 13, 15 enjoyed it in our group, but it looked appropriate also for younger crowd). It's very guided with timed transitions between rooms, so allow at least 1.30 hours to pass through it and come together if you are in a group - it's almost impossible to catch up later. We particularly enjoyed the time elevator and the lava.
If you are curious about how our planet came to be and how it works, you will love Dynamic Earth. This attraction lets you witness the power of nature, travel across space and time, and even join a 4D adventure around the world. The staff are helpful and well-informed, and the exhibits are engaging and fun. Dynamic Earth is a great choice for all ages, but especially for kids who enjoy exploring and learning. It is situated near the Royal Mile and the Holyrood Park, so you can also visit other sights in Edinburgh. Dynamic Earth is open from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and you can get your tickets online or at the door. I think Dynamic Earth is a must-see for anyone who wants to have a fun and educational day out in Edinburgh.
