1 / 3Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
📍 Comely Bank, Scotland
70 acres of maintained gardens in Edinburgh with free entry, wheelchair and mobility scooter hire, signed accessible paths, seasonal family trails, and two on-site cafes. Toddler-friendly throughout.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with toddlers and young children who enjoy outdoor space without admission costs. The signed accessibility routes make it genuinely usable for pushchairs and wheelchairs. The winter light displays are the standout seasonal draw — plan for those if visiting late in the year.

“A wonderful place to visit. We went during the winter light displays which was exceptional. Something that is accessible and memorable. There is an occasional slope and little walking bridge to navigate however I think many people of different levels of ability can visit. Really super for young children however there is plenty to engage the adults”

“Such a lovely place to walk around. Is very well signed posted if in wheelchair or pushchair so know if the path is accessible or not. They hire wheelchairs and electric mobility scooter. Nice gift shop and has a couple of cafes. On road parking outside with some disabled places. Would definitely like to come back and see it in another season”
