With schools closing for the mid-term February holiday this week, we’ve been looking at what parents and carers can do with their youngsters in and around Edinburgh.

The Capital’s schools are closed during this school week of February 13-17 for the annual holiday break, with parents and carers looking for ways to keep their little ones entertained this week.

There is so much on offer for parents and carers to do with their children in Edinburgh and the Lothians, including outdoor classrooms, the circus, theatre and musical shows, a sci-fi convention and out of this world activities. While discounted train tickets also give families the opportunity to maybe take a day trip somewhere.
