What's on daily for families?

Explore our interactive galleries, dress up in clothes from Scotland's past or follow a trail at the National Museum of Scotland.


Family Footprint Trails

Our free Family Footprint Trails let you explore the galleries in new and different ways.  Pick one up from the Info Zone on Level 3.


Interactive Galleries

Times: 10:30–16:30 (drop-in)
Venue: Imagine Level 1 and Adventure Planet Level 5

Our staff will help you have fun in our new Imagine and Adventure Planet galleries.


Discovery zones

Our Discovery Zones throughout the Scotland galleries really put you in touch with history. Are you strong enough to wear a Roman mail shirt? Can you fire a medieval catapult or fit a broken pot back together?
