Riddles Court
WHERE
Edinburgh
What it’s like
Public tours and family events in a historic Edinburgh close, with a proper sit-down café on site.
This is a spot for family events and public tours rather than a hands-on play attraction, so it suits a day when you want the kids to look and listen rather than climb on things. From what they list, the events angle is the main draw here, which means what you actually do on the day depends on what's running when you go.
Scotts Kitchen is on site and open daily for breakfast, coffee, lunch and dinner, using fresh local ingredients. That's handy if a tour or talk runs over and someone needs feeding, and it means you're not hunting for lunch afterwards. The building is wheelchair accessible, which is worth knowing given how many historic Edinburgh buildings aren't.
Group bookings are catered for. There's no booking link listed.
