Ainslie Park Leisure Centre


Watery fun, various sports and relaxation
92 Pilton Drive
Edinburgh EH5 2HF
United Kingdom
+44 131 551 2400
This local eight lane, 25-metre swimming pool and leisure centre also has a spa and a baby pool. If you have children in tow, there is a creche for babies and toddlers, as well as a pulse centre to get you in shape and a multi-purpose sports hall. The list of sports items available is impressive: badminton, basketball, five-a-side football, gymnastics, judo, karate, table tennis, volleyball and netball. Once you've worked up an appetite and a thirst, there is a choice of visiting the equally welcoming cafe or bar, which both offer a good range of snacks and refreshments.

Edinburgh Zoo


Penguins on parade
Corstorphine Road
Edinburgh EH12 6TS
United Kingdom
+44 131 334 9171
http://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/
All the old favorites are here: Asiatic lions, South American monkeys, zebras, funky little marmosets and tamarins - this is a sure-fire hit for children and adults alike. The jewel in Edinburgh Zoo's crown has to be the penguins, who make a regular parade outside their enclosure at 2pm (March-October) when weather permits. Or they can be viewed swimming underwater in the world's biggest penguin pool. You can also arrange to handle the smaller animals (such as snails, rats and snakes) or to take a safari ride in an open-sided trailer. Take the opportunity to meet some of the keepers and learn about the more exotic and endangered inhabitants here. There's a great little gift shop with lots of affordable goodies, and a handy coffee shop/restaurant.

Lauriston Castle


Sixteenth century tower house
Cramond Road South
Davidsons Mains
Edinburgh EH4 5GD
United Kingdom
+44 131 336 2060
Lauriston Castle was left to the nation by William Reid, a cabinet-maker and antiques enthusiast. The 16th century tower house and 19th century extensions are set in immaculately kept grounds. The elegant Edwardian interior can only be viewed on guided tours, which start hourly. There are wonderful items of furniture, prints, paintings, porcelain and pieces of art. You can phone to book a tour or turn up and enjoy the garden while you wait.
