Enjoy a fun winter day out in Edinburgh with VisitScotland’s Great Days Out offer

We often wait for summer or at least some warm weather to have fun adventures outside, but the weather shouldn't be the thing stopping us from enjoying ourselves. There may not be that much to look forward to in January, and our budgets are a bit tight after the holidays.

That's why VisitScotland have come up with a solution – they're offering 50% off selected tours and attractions until the 18th of February, encouraging you to have more winter days out.

There are so many different activities included in the offer – from escape rooms to wildlife centres. Whether you want to have a family day out or spend some quality time with friends, you can enjoy yourself now and stop waiting for good weather. Just layer up with some warm clothes, and if you're still cold – why not visit a whisky distillery – this will guarantee to warm you up!

Where to start?
Some of Edinburgh's best attractions are featured in VisitScotland's offer. Whether you want to let your imagination run wild at Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, meet some new furry friends at Edinburgh Zoo or visit The Real Mary King's Close - Edinburgh's deepest secret - there's something for everyone.

The last and most important step is to enjoy yourself! To see Edinburgh's full range of attractions, visit the VisitScotland website and then click to filter what kind of experience you want. Each business has listed a discount code or how you can contact them to book.
