|---|---|
| Best time to go | Weekdays in term time; first slot. |
| School holiday tip | Late August is the sweet spot for English/Welsh visitors: Scottish schools are back by mid-August while England/Wales are still on holiday. Early July is the Scottish local peak, so go midweek. Indoor venue: wet half-term days cause surges; check the forecast. |
| Best ages | Most suit about 5-12; free places suit short visits with younger children |
| If it rains | Mostly indoors: wet days tend to be busiest |
| Money saver | Many are free, so budget for parking and food only; go for 2 hours, not all day. |
| Top tips | Book the first show. Not for under 8s. |
| What to pack | Snacks, water bottle, pram or carrier, wipes |
