Take a trip through space and time at Dynamic Earth, a science center situated at the foot of Edinburgh’s Salisbury Crags. Opened in 1999, the center was the centerpiece of an urban regeneration plan meant to bring vitality to a former industrial zone. Today, the center teaches visitors about the processes that shaped our planet over millions of years, from the Big Bang to abiogenesis, plate tectonics, and glaciation. Use the center’s 3D and 4D interactive exhibits to witness the creation of the Earth, and then follow the planet through millions of years of evolution, touching, feeling, and smelling the adventure as you proceed through history. Visit the site’s ShowDome to see 360-degree dome films about astronomy and space exploration. Using our custom trip planner, Edinburgh attractions like Dynamic Earth can form part of a personalized travel itinerary.

Really enjoyed our visit here as it suits all ages. You walk through different areas, each with a different theme. You are guided through by staff who were all helpful and enthusiastic about the area they look after. The planetarium at the end was excellent, different shows happen throughout the day. We saw ‘You are here’ which was great talk given by an enthusiastic astronomer with amazing visuals.

What an outstanding exhibition! Wether your an Adult or Child you are going to absolutely love this place. It's interactive, there's a Time Machine, you get to fly in a 3D Jet and Operate a Deep Sea ROV and the 360° Auditorium is literally out of this world! It very educational and will open your eyes as to where it all began. We enjoyed it so much.....we're coming back with the whole family.
