This can be a challenging thing to do on any holiday but Edinburgh really is a child-friendly place, with plenty of things to do to keep kids amused.

Why not visit Edinburgh Zoo and catch the lunch time penguin parade? Or the birds of prey displays? Or informative talks on creepy crawlies from exotic lands? A truely great day out for all the family and only a short bus ride or walk from the hotels.

Visit the Camera Obscura on the Royal Mile for hours of smiles and laughter. The Camera Obscura show is a fascinating and highly amusing way to see the city and learn about its history.
