Edinburgh Dungeon. I wasn't expecting much; some cheezy, tourist trip. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. Edinburgh Dungeon is great fun. The front of house staff are excellent and the performers working the various scenes are an absolute riot! We went with our two boys, aged 10 & 12, and sure, each found this or that scene a bit intense, but nothing traumatizing. Just a lot of fun while learning the horrible facts of life in "Auld Reekie" during the Middle Ages. For those unfamiliar, this isn't just a haunted house experience with jump scares. It is 10 (I think, 10) well-written and performed scenarios from the darker history of the city. A solid 80-plus minutes of genuine scares as you're guided from room to room, spending time at a suspect surgery, a plague-infested street, a witch trial and a haunted mansion (my favorite), among others. And don't say you weren't warned about the leeches.... A blast and a real memory for the family.

We had a great time visiting Edinburgh dungeon. I took my 18 year old son and his girlfriend and we all thought it was fab. From the scary noises and fart sounds coming out the bathroom, (this gave us a giggle when my sons girlfriend had to explain she'd not actually farted 😅) to the enthusiasm from all the staff we rate it 5 🌟 We had only a small group of 7 including us 3 so we all had plenty of chance to be chosen to take part in the interactive nature of the dungeon. The actors were fabulous and all other staff friendly and attentive. And it was great value for money. Just great!

Edinburgh Zoo was an incredible experience from start to finish! We saw so many penguins, which were absolutely adorable, as well as giraffes, cheetahs, and many more amazing animals. The view from the zoo was just stunning and made the whole visit even more special. It was also very helpful that a kind and friendly staff member welcomed us at the entrance and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made it much easier to explore the zoo. The atmosphere was great, everything was well organised, and we really enjoyed our time there. We will definitely visit again!

The process was so easy and we all loved the whole thing from booking to leaving the zoo. The tickets were cheaper than booking direct and all we had to do was show the phone at the counter and we walked into the zoo. Much easier than paying at the entrance. The zoo was amazing, we did a few talks, including the penguins, and the kids took onboard everything that was said. We did the Easter egg hunt program and had the kids excited about running up the hill. Thank you so much for making a day out cheaper and so easy to sort.

The Headout booking site just popped up when I searched for Edinburgh zoo. Easy to book, easy to use. No extra hassle whatsoever. I like cheaper deals and this was a stress free booking. My daughter and I had the best day! Booking through Headout the tickets came with a discount, it went towards a very nice lunch in the Gannet. We also got a 10% discount towards another sightseeing trip.

Signing up was quick and easy, and the prices were reasonable; the zoo map was also easy to use in the app. The dinosaurs were an unexpected highlight for the little ones, too.

Only disappointment was that the animals went inside due to weather which can't be controlled. Still a very enjoyable day.
