Aquariums & Sea Life in Edinburgh

If you're picturing tanks of tropical fish or a shark tunnel in Edinburgh itself, there isn't one listed here. What you've got instead, out at Loanhead, is Pentland Plants, a garden centre with free entry, craft sessions, story time and a proper café, plus free parking and a baby change if you're travelling with a pram. It's not an aquarium in the traditional sense, so go in expecting plants and activities rather than sea creatures. It suits toddlers well for a low pressure wander, and because it costs nothing to get in, it's an easy one to add to a day already planned elsewhere. Dogs are welcome too, which is handy if a walk is part of the plan.</intro> </invoke>
