Camera Obscura

Located at the top of the Royal Mile the Camera Obscura is a phenomenal visit for groups of all ages, this winding tower is filled with mind-boggling illusions, captivating holograms and 3D pictures you simply want to reach out and grab! At its very top there is a historical Camera Obscura which has been wowing audiences since 1853, and your group is no exception! Students can experience this at one of the many daily showings and witness a totally unique view of the city. While at the top groups can also walk around the viewing balcony and take in the spectacular views of the city below, waiting to be explored. Groups can then make their way down the tower exploring each exciting floor and the jaw-dropping illusions, crazy kaleidoscopes, shadow walls and mirror mazes. One of the most unique attractions this visit boasts is the Vortex Tunnel, taking students on a swirling, whirling journey as they walk through it, but can they walk the path without losing their balance?
