Very valuable and historical pace to visit. In the building sense it has own architectural characteristics which we cannot find in any other places. If you go to Edinburgh this place is a must visit place in Scotland.Lots of things to see and get know.Its take for than day to look for whole things in correct way. Do visit as your bucket list thing ❤️

My first time in Edinburgh and this museum absolutely blew me away. It could easily take you a day to look at everything and read all of the interesting information about it all. It's clean, staff are very friendly and it's definitely a favourite part of my few days away from home

The museum is huge with lots to see. They have exhibitions on animals, energy, physics, engineering, space, tradition, geography, culture, geology etc. I think there is something for everyone here.We spent almost 3 hours here.Entrance is free. The museum is very clean and well maintained. It’s the nicest museum that I’ve been to.They had a lot of interactive things here so we were very invested and entertained.

Great place to visit; it's very informative. Everything from history to modern day; from arts, culture, fashion, animals to science and technology. There is something of interest for everyone. There's even a floor with a play area for children. It's definitely worth a visit. Plan to spend several hours; great indoor activity when the weather isn't so nice outside.

Really enjoyed our time here so much to do. We loved the little interactive bits in every room for the adults to get involved with. The kids play rooms too we’re great! Favourite section was the animals and Egyptian. To say it’s free it’s definitely far better than some paying museums I have been too.

An absolutely fantastic storehouse of Scottish history, culture, science and innovation, along with a global touch. It should be a must-visit place if you are in Edinburgh. They do have a taxidermy preservation of the first clone sheep, Dolly. There is no admission fee to enter, and they have a good number of seating arrangements to make your visit relaxing.

Excellent museum, in a beautiful building.We were short on time so we joined the official tour at 11am (which was free). Our guide - Sue, told us all about the first people of Scotland, all the way up to the Union. The tour was meant to be an hour but Sue spoke for almost an hour and a half. It was great. She is very passionate about the topics and we learned much more than if we had explored the museum on our own.After the tour, we had a quick look in the science and technology wing and then the natural history room.I love the spaces, the museum is really well looked after.There is no cloakroom, and lockers range from £4 for a small to £7 for an extra large. A big golf umbrella just about fit in the extra large. The museum is quite warm so the lockers are a good idea.There are a few cafes / restaurants and the museum is close to the Royal Mile.The museum is FREE but you need to pay for some exhibitions so check before you visit.

Absolutely amazing. We never thought this museum had oozing culture. One of the best we've been to. The only way I can explain it's authenticity is it's comparative to seeing the raised resting places of Columbus, Nelson and The Duke of Wellington.The National Museum of Scotland is on a par with Victoria Albert Museum. Around ever corner and every room there's a multitude of different exhibits. It's got a great atmosphere to soak up, and there's an activity room for the younger kids. We saw lots of teenagers from different ethnicities. It has that presence and it's just a remarkable place to be at that time. We were there for over three hours, and we hadn't taken it all in.
