The centre opened in 1999 as one of the first major projects supported by the UK's Millennium Commission. The project was the centrepiece of an urban regeneration plan which served to bring vitality to the former industrial land at the lower end of the Royal Mile and is housed within a distinctive landmark building, the William Younger Centre.Newest Review: ... a pair of adults wanting to stay dry on a wednesday afternoon the only section that caught our attention was the final section where you are seated in a planetarium style room and watch an interactive show (and even then it was mostly because we could sit and hold hands as well as conduct whispered arguements about our decisions).

Promising a journey through time, using the latest in cutting edge technology, Dynamic Earth is apparently the future of interactive entertainment.

Entering the attraction via a flight of stairs, you find yourself in a large L-Shaped room which contain a number of TV screens fitted into the walls, demonstrating various ...
