The five star Scottish Seabird Centre is perched on the Firth of Forth, overlooking the sandy beaches of North Berwick.

With something for all ages, the Discovery Centre is an adventure to remember, come rain or shine! The world leader in remote wildlife viewing, visitors can get up close and personal with amazing wildlife via interactive cameras that beam incredible live close-ups of seabirds and other marine wildlife from the nearby islands onto giant screens. Open all year, there's different wildlife to look out for throughout the seasons from puffins to porpoises, gannets to guillemots and seals to shags.

You can discover even more in the wildlife cinema, Kids' Zone (soft play area), aquaria and Environment Zone.

There is also the chance to indulge in some retail therapy in the excellent gift shop and seasonal local produce in the popular cafe.

From March to October (weather permitting) the Centre's Seabird Seafari wildlife boat trips run to the world famous Bass Rock (the world's largest single island gannet colony) and the Isle of May National Nature Reserve.

Vegetarian, children's meals, homemade soup and daily specials. All locally sourced ingredients and seasonal menu highlights.

A wide range of products from children's toys and games to environmental products, books, toiletries, scarves, bags, prints, paintings and cards. Local suppliers are featured.

Disabled toilet, baby changing table.

Do not sell baby food but do offer milk warming and also have a "we welcome breast feeding policy"

Only 30 minutes from Edinburgh and less than an hour from the English border, the Centre is signposted from the A1 north and south follow the A198 to North Berwick from either direction.

North Berwick is a great place to spend the day - with beaches, shops, harbour, activities, cafes, etc. Bring changes of clothes and wellies. It makes a great day out to come by train - as the short train journey is fun for kids too and it's great value!

If you've had fun on your family day out to Scottish Seabird Centre, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
