| Price | Adult £29 · Child £29 · Family £116 Official site: day tickets from £29 per person when booked online in advance (the lowest date price; most dates cost more, and walk-up is dearer). Family figure is 4 people at that lowest price. Merlin Annual Pass from £139. |
|---|---|
| Opening times | Closes between 6pm and 8.30pm depending on season and day. |
| Best time to go | Weekdays in term time; first slot. |
| School holiday tip | Early 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 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 a fast track slot. Combine with Southbank walk. |
| What to pack | Snacks, water bottle, pram or carrier, wipes |
