Dynamic Earth is a futuristic and interactive science center located at the foot of Edinburgh's iconic Arthur's Seat in Scotland, United Kingdom. It is designed to narrate the story of planet Earth and the forces that have shaped it over millions of years. Opened in 1999, this visitor attraction serves as an educational and entertainment hub, especially focusing on natural history and geoscience. Dynamic Earth takes guests on a journey through time and space, starting from the Big Bang, through the formation of the Earth, to the present day and beyond. Visitors can experience the primordial forces of nature such as volcanoes and glaciers in a series of engaging exhibits. The highlights include a real iceberg, a tropical rainforest, and a dive into the ocean depths, thanks to the 360-degree ShowDome cinema that provides an immersive experience with its state-of-the-art technology. Geared towards both children and adults, Dynamic Earth offers a tactile learning environment that makes science accessible and fun.
