Best Things to Do in Edinburgh, with baby

Midlothian Snowsports Centre, Hillend is 42% Baby-Friendly

Babies under 4 cannot join slopes, tubing or coaster, limiting engagement to watching from Café 360. Step-free access, baby-change and highchairs help care needs, but activity options for infants are scarce.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

The Scotch Whisky Experience is 41% Baby-Friendly

Lifts, pram access and baby changing exist, yet tours last 50+ minutes, have loud audiovisuals and no dedicated nursing room, so parents may struggle to settle an infant during tastings.

Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours

Victoria St is 40% Baby-Friendly

Steep gradients, uneven cobbles, narrow shop doors and scarce changing tables make prams awkward and rests hard. A short visit with a baby carrier and pre-planned nearby facilities is advisable.

Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours

Nelson Monument is 39% Baby-Friendly

Babies must be carried on uneven paths and cannot use strollers inside; no changing tables, no nursing room, and a steep 143-step tower greatly limit comfort, so check with staff before visiting.

Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is 36% Baby-Friendly

Babies may sit free on a lap, but no pram storage, no dedicated baby-change or nursing area, late-night noise and fireworks can distress infants, so only hardy families should attempt.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Edinburgh City Chambers is 35% Baby-Friendly

Courtyard is pram-friendly and lifts exist, but no confirmed nursing room or baby-change table; verify with staff because the formal interior offers little for an infant.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

The Chocolatarium is 35% Baby-Friendly

Only babies under 3 months in carriers may enter, no stroller access, no changing table or nursing room, and a parent must step out if baby cries; check details with the venue.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

King's Theatre is 34% Baby-Friendly

No entry possible during closure and pram storage or nursing area unconfirmed; babies free at future pantomime, yet nothing to do now and facilities still uncertain.

Scott Monument is 32% Baby-Friendly

Babies are allowed only at ground level; spiral stairs block buggies, there is no changing table or lift, so parents must stay in gardens or carry the infant, using distant public toilets.

Edinburgh Playhouse is 30% Baby-Friendly

Under-3s are usually refused entry except for rare infant-friendly events, and noise may upset babies; though a parent-and-baby room and buggy storage exist, parents must confirm admission in advance.
