I've been a couple of times - but I'm a member so I go a lot!

I can send you a PM with a link to the video I took - the pandas aren't terribly active animals - I saw 2 pandas the first time and one the second and they ate all the time - but all the kids who have been there when I have seemed to be really enjoying seeing them. There are loads of other animals to see - it's not all about pandas and penguins!

Yes thanks for the quick reply. I'm sure there's lots to see at the zoo but the pandas are a big attraction meantime especially for kids meantime. I'm sure we will give it a go and we will have to book times soon. The visit will be an expensive trip all the same and out of the question for a lot of families.

We have made a last minute decision to go to the castle and Mary Close. I am trying to find some sort of discounts but not having much joy as I keep losing phone signal. I thought about joining heritage for the castle but not sure I would get the best out of it for £40 each. I thought I read that English heritage offers a discount but can't find it. Does anyone know any deals please? Many thanks.

The Chambers Street Museum and Museum of Scotland combined is a fantastic visit and free. Plenty interactive stuff for kids and specially good if raining. There's an area for having your packed lunch there (ask an attendant) I'm pretty sure a packed lunch would be ok at the botanic gardens too but can't be certain. Museum of Childhood on the High Street/Canongate is also free and well worth a visit for kids and adults on memory lane. Can't help with a code - sorry

Looks like Edinburgh Castle is sold out for 2 December but good spot for the rest of HS Sites
