Relaxed Day @ Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh

Dynamic Earth’s Relaxed Opening Hours aim to provide a calm and inclusive environment for visitors; designed for those who would benefit from a more relaxed visit, but open to everyone. These sessions prioritise sensory comfort without compromising on the overall Dynamic Earth experience.

We are looking forward to our next Relaxed Opening Hours Day on Thursday 13th November 2025.  We want everyone to have the entire day to fully experience all that Dynamic Earth has to offer. That’s why our Relaxed Hours run throughout the whole day from 10am-3pm.

During our Relaxed Opening Hours day, the following adjustments are made:

Reduced visitor numbers throughout the day.
Alterations to lighting and audio features.
Additional accessibility resources available, including sensory bags, social stories and sensory maps.
Disability and neurodiversity awareness training for staff.
Captions on all videos, and BSL interpretation on selected Planetarium shows.
A wide range of sensory aids
Flexible admission to our tour and Planetarium.
Designated quiet space for visitors to use.
