National Museum of Scotland

A must when you're in Edinburgh! Free entrance. It's great for kids of all ages, lots of interactive pieces plus the big kids' room on the first floor next to the escalators. Very nicely designed❤

Free museum ! You simply must visit the rooftop garden for spectacular views across the city . Wide ranging exhibits , though not the most engaging a good effort made for the kids with games & puzzles.

It's a fun place to go and peruse. However, when I went the were rebuilding some of the sections, so it didn't take that long to get through everything, about 2 hours. It's a great place to bring kids

I wasn’t expecting to see such a fun national museum . It is obvious that they worked extremely hard to create the concepts and every piece in them is interesting. #1 in things to do in Edinburgh ????????

This is a great museum with so much to see and do for all. There is so much here you could take days to see if all. Very interesting displays here. Well worth a visit. Displays from all over world.

So much to see here, couldn’t finish in a day! Don’t miss the Millennium Clock, it chimes on the hour from 10:00-16:00. What a fun 4 minute long display of mechanical wonder!

Free museum in Edinburgh. It has interactive activities as well as history. Give yourself lots of time because it can be overwhelming. If you don't have enough time, just do the History of Scotland .

It's a pleasure to visit such an amazing museum . It's full of wonder, exciting discoveries, facts about the world and life. Perfect for children and adults. This is science taught with imagination.

A great place for all. Some wonderful visiting exhibitions which require an additional cost, are always great. An impressive building which is free entry. A exceptional space & and award winning.

A fascinating, enormous museum ! 7 floors of Scottish history to explore. Most of the attractions for kids are quite fun for adults too. You can spend more than a full day here...

Head to the roof terrace for excellent views across Edinburgh - the lift is horrifically slow - but it's worth it.

Take your time for this one - you can easily spend an entire day there. Make sure to head to the roof terrace and don't hesitate to press all the buttons that invite you to do exactly so.

Different cultures with attractions games (5 levels building) including animals , insects, space, fashion, Cultural Egyptian, Indian, Chinese, gana, ..etc.

Obviously, Scotland is a fantastic part of the UK! But if you really want some background information on history and how Scotland became Scotland, make a stop at this museum !

The museum is HUGE, and covers a wide expanse of history. The exhibits are interesting. My favorites are the Ancient Egypt and Art of Living. Don't miss the Lewis chess pieces!

Top notch museum and all free. Fantastic for kids of all ages. Great view on the roof.

Awesome exhibitions of everything, i.e. what you would normally find in several different museums starting from history, arts , human history, etc.

Free tour ... Free. It has different things to see from art to history and science. Great place to learn about the history of Scotland . For free again.

This museum is indeed a worthwhile place to visit even during a short stay in Edinburgh. The Tower restaurant on the top floor also serves nice pre fixe lunch .

Really lovely museum . Great for kids and adults alike. Loads of interactivity, interesting exhibits , beautiful building, good cafes .

A huge museum with free admission , don’t forget o visit the roof terrace for a great view .

An inspirational museum . Look out for Museum Lates Events featuring The Red Door Gallery DIY workshops and the recently acquired Cybraphone, the autonomous robotic band in a wardrobe!

Kid friendly fantastic museum . One of the must see in Edinburgh!

Don't expect to see everything in one visit, even in your third visit, you would still not have seen everything. Go to the roof garden - you get a stunning view of this spectacular city .

A good mix of everything with accurate descriptions that can be understood easily by kids and the public, free entry, must visit if in Edinburgh

This place is huge. Would be easy to spend a full afternoon here. Grab a map because the layout is quite confusing.

Loved this place, well organized and lots of stuff to see and learn. Thought that this is even better than the national museum of London.

Free, fun and well worth going! The science and expeditions bit is closed until 2016. Everything else will keep us busy until then.

Highly recommended. We enjoyed the interactive experiences all over the place!

Spent there the whole day and couldn't see everything. Full of interactive games good to take the children there. An excellent museum .

Tons to see and it’s free to enter!

New video game exhibition about to open!Love this museum , one of the very best in the world!

One of the best museums I've visited. Every floor features interactive exhibits . Go to the hamster wheel on the 3rd floor.

I love coming here always lots of things to view always something different to see. Definitely go not a place to miss.

Awesome Museum and lots of interactivity. The fashion walk was cool as well .

Great museum ! Specially the Scottish history part! Is still being populated, but worth a visit, specially because it's free!

Deposed,exiled and executed! Accused of murder! See Mary,Queen of Scots along with all the details of the period, if you're interested in a bit of Scottish history ! What a life!

Loved this museum ! Touches on a broad range of domains!! Loved the architecture as well ! Free entrance ;)

A lot of interactive exhibits , perfect for kids 6+. Roof terrace a must for photographers !

Definitely worth checking out, be it for the animals or cultures or the industrial progress

Get there early and spend the whole day! So much to see - also better to start at the top, lest you miss the views .

Lovely museum and the building is gourgeous! And it's free! And free wifi ! What's not to love?

You need several hours and visits to grasp everything this museum has to offer.

Lots of great exhibits to view , whether you're interested in history or the modern age. Also kid friendly

Huge museum . Rich collection. There are a a lot of things to do for children.

Don't leave it for a rainy day. So much to see and do. Buying membership worth it as paid exhibitions change several times a year.

Crowds notwithstanding, the exhibits are amazing and the building is just plain beautiful to admire.

Free! Wide range of exhibits and a must for Edinburgh!
