Dynamic Earth is Edinburgh’s world-class Science Centre and Planetarium, telling the epic story of planet earth from beginning to mend.

At the foot of a volcano in the historic city of Edinburgh lies Dynamic Earth, the UK’s leading earth science centre. Our immersive, interactive and impactful visitor experience takes you on a journey through the story of our extraordinary planet, from beginning to mend. Be there at the moment of the Big Bang, rocket through the universe billions of times faster than the speed of light, feel the effects of a real volcano, get closer to understanding the polar ice caps by touching our iceberg, stare in wonder at the Aurora Borealis, watch powerful glaciers carve out entire continents, dive to the dark depths of the ocean, and avoid rainstorms in our tropical rainforest. All of this, plus our incredible planetarium, and an ever-changing schedule of activities and events makes Dynamic Earth Edinburgh’s must-visit attraction.

In the 90-minute interactive walk-through and planetarium experience you’ll discover millions of years of evolution from the big bang to the challenges of the present day.

We got married here on 22nd Feb 2025. Being in Berkshire and planning a wedding in Edinburgh is not easy but the staff made it so . Nothing was too much trouble. From initial planning to on the day and after we have nothing but good things to say. Planners are great and we did n a lot online and by email but it was all flawless on the day.Blaise, Oz and the team on the day were brilliant along with serving staff , bar staff all were great and the food was also of top notch quality . We have had so many great comments form people who attended we cannot rate it highly enough. We brought in soft play in the turret room and had red bus trips but fitting it all in with the planetarium and the attraction itself meant a fun filled fabulous day for all.

Walked behind the Dynamic Earth up the cliffs to see all of Edinburgh and this was so incredible to see the landscape from this height. Just look at the pictures.

Dynamic Earth Planetarium offers an experience that is truly out of this world. It's an exhilarating yet sublime and spiritual experience that everyone, kids or curiosity-driven adults, must experience. From the moment you step in, you're transported to the far reaches of the cosmos, making you feel both tiny and immensely connected to the universe.The immersive visuals and stunning projections create a sense of wonder that is hard to match. Whether you're soaring through nebulae or witnessing the birth of stars, the planetarium delivers a profound sense of awe. It's not just educational; it's an emotional journey that leaves you with a deep appreciation for the vastness and beauty of space.A significant part of what makes this experience so exceptional are the staff members. They are incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, very cooperative, and committed to offering you an amazing experience. Their passion for astronomy and the Earth sciences is infectious, and they go above and beyond to answer questions, explain complex concepts, and ensure every visitor feels engaged and inspired. Their dedication truly elevates the visit from a simple attraction to a memorable adventure.In conclusion, the Dynamic Earth Planetarium is more than just a show; it's an unforgettable exploration of our universe that engages the senses and ignites the imagination. It's a must-visit for anyone seeking a truly unique and enriching experience in Edinburgh.

Parking very expensive £20 a day and Public transport not very convenient. Very interesting place, lots of reading to get the most from it, you get kids get boarded. We did one of the kids clubs, it was good the kids liked it or an hour a Saturday but you need to factor in that parting is at least £7 to take the kids for a 1 hour session! So won't be back sadly.
