This stop was the biggest disappointment of our trip to Edinburgh…read more I went with my two daughters and we were so excited to go...... until we actually got there. We arrived for our reservation, the staff pointed at a table and got us to seat ourselves, then told us which drinks were not available. With a rather limited menu, it really is hugely disappointing when two of the drinks aren't available. You pay for your drinks in advance when you book your reservation so we couldn't leave even though my daughters couldn't get the drinks they had planned on. Then they brought all three drinks to us at the same time, advised us to make them all at the same time immediately because the dry ice wouldn't last. These drinks have multiple steps to create. Spoiler alert, if you go with kids and have to help them with their drinks, your drink will be wasted like mine was. The only thing that happened with my drink was it changed a slight different colour because by the time I got to it the dry ice was gone. They really should offer parents with young children the choice of getting their drinks a few minutes later if things need to be mixed immediately and kids need help reading and following the instructions. Neither of my daughters liked the taste of their drinks (they described it as tasting like Tylenol medicine) and I would rate mine as only "okay". We sat next to a wonderful young couple from Switzerland and they were trying to watch us do our drinks since their drinks failed and did nothing. Their spoken English was perfect but they said they had problems reading some of the instructions, couldn't get help, and therefore ended up making mistakes with the order in which to mix things. The couple were so sweet about it but they were every bit as disappointed as we were and also thought the taste wasn't very good. Then near the end of the visit, we were told "we had 15 minutes left in our reservation and to please get ready to leave now" so I stood up immediately and we left my drink unfinished (which to be honest I'm not too sad about). It's a shame because the place has potential and if the waitress had even introduced herself or been friendly in anyway we would have had a much better time. It's a cute space, the concept of it is amazing, but the staff should be friendlier (she is the only person I have met in Edinburgh that hasn't been friendly). Overall an extremely disappointing experience. The only disappointment and rude/rushed service we have had in our two weeks here in Edinburgh. When they brought the shot glass drinks out in a chest full of dry ice, it looked really cool and that was the only part we enjoyed. I suggest saving your money and just buy some dry ice instead.

Wanted to love... but didn't. First, the service was extremely slow and we spent 15 minutes waiting…read morefor the only server to explain the directions to 4 other tables before coming to us saying she didn't notice us. The drinks then also got backed up because 4-5 tables were ordering at a time. We also saw many people get turned away because they didn't have a reservation, but there were several empty tables the entire time we were there. This place is definitely just full of dry ice and gimmicks that just miss the bar. For the Magic Potions Tavern, you can book a Magic Potion and Shot experience where you can choose from around 8 different "potions" (drink) options and a few shots. Then, you receive laminated potion directions and essentially mix your own drink and watch as it smokes with dry ice (which is essentially the only cool part about it.) The drinks ended up being *not great*--and super basic. The Herbology 101 was pretty much just muddled raspberries, vodka and lemon juice with bits of flower candy that tasted like chalk, and the Potion No. 9 was basically just purple sparkly gin. The shots tasted god awful. As someone who loves a gimmick, this is great for a day of Harry Potter exploration if you want something cool to post on your Instagram story. If you're looking for great drinks and service, go literally anywhere else. :/

A big park. Alot going on in there. We'll worth a visit and botanical Gardens too and kelvingrive…read morePark.

Possibly my favourite Glasgow park and not only because it's across the road from my house…read more I have fond memories of coming to visit my Grandmother and Grandfather as a wee boy. They would take me to the park on my visits from Helensburgh. The boating pond is still full of Swans but alas time has been called on the boats themselves no more will you hear the cry come in number six your time is done. The Oswald clock has been newly restored and looks better than ever. Let's hope they remember to wind it up every day. To the north of the flower beds the infamous "still game" bench can be found with a spectacular vista. Let's not forget the overgrown garden next to Fossil Grove which in itself is a wonder of the world which remains one of Glasgow's best kept secrets.

So amazing yes. My children had a lot of happiness going to this place! So nice to take them and so…read morenice they enjoyed it. Y

Impossible to add much else as it's all been said by others before me! I just want to add my 5…read morestars because this is such a great place to visit again and again. There's so much so see and of course, the exhibitions are superb. The building is beautiful too and set in attractive grounds, only a short walk from the town centre. The staff are always helpful and knowledgeable.
