Best time to goSchool holidays and weekends when tours run; not on match days.
School holiday tipEarly July is the sweet spot for Scottish families: English/Welsh schools stay in until about 20-23 July. Late August is the English/Welsh peak, so choose Tue-Thu and arrive at opening. Indoor venue: wet half-term days cause surges; check the forecast.
Best agesMost suit about 5-12; free places suit short visits with younger children
All ages; under-16 price for children.
If it rainsMostly indoors: wet days tend to be busiest
Money saverMany are free, so budget for parking and food only; go for 2 hours, not all day.
