We had an owl experience, blessed with perfect weather we were set for a good experience. Kylie has a real passion for her birds and an interesting depth of knowledge, we got to fly and handle a number of Owls, giving a really interactive experience, that went all to quickly. Fantastic experience, really enjoyable.

Edinburgh Butterfly & Insect World

Edinburgh Butterfly & Insect World is the longest running indoor tropical Butterfly House in the world and is one of Scotland's favourite tourist and educational attractions. Great for a family day out!

My friend and I visited this wonderful place and were delighted by the range of things to see. There are some restrictions in place due to Covid-19 (you have to book a timed visit and there’s no handling of creatures) but that didn’t hamper our enjoyment at all. The butterfly environment is lovely and there are many different species flying freely around. There are also tortoises and terrapins. There is also a reptile area and insect area with many fascinating species. One of the highlights was talking with the knowledgeable staff, especially Kev. He was full of interesting and entertaining information which helped us appreciate the creatures even more. We spent about an hour and a half in there and would definitely recommend a visit. There is also a well-stocked shop.
