Camera Obscura & World of Illusions

Kids at Camera Obscura

Venture through five floors jam-packed with over 100 illusions.

A swirling light vortex; a maze of mirrors; a chance to swap noses with a friend; see yourself grow, shrink and stretch; play i-spy with our city viewcams; and mess with your mind with brilliant visual effects.

Step outside onto our Rooftop Terrace and enjoy the best 360⁰ views of Edinburgh, an unbeatable vantage point for the most breath-taking photographs. Get even closer with our range of telescopes and binoculars, all free to use.
Open every day until late.
