No on-site parking at the Museum of Childhood. On-street pay and display parking is available nearby; limited accessible parking and drop-off point on the Royal Mile.
Only facilities we’ve confirmed are listed — anything missing here we simply haven’t checked, rather than know to be absent.
The Museum of Childhood in Edinburgh is free and claims to be the world's first devoted to childhood, a nostalgic wander through toys and games of years gone by.
