Embrace your inner Peter Pan
Expedia has named Un-Adulting one of its biggest travel trends for 2027 and this is one we can get on board with. The idea? Ditch the to-do lists and forget about all those boring grown-up responsibilities and embrace a little nostalgia. Think less life admin, more doing things just for the fun of it.
And where better to unleash your inner child than Edinburgh? Here are six ways to forget about being a grown-up for a little while:
Splatter Art
Get your art attack on and splatter some paint on the walls like your parents would never let you do!
Fayre Play
All the fun of the fair, but this time with cocktails! Relive your childhood glory days with classic fairground games and absolutely no need to ask your parents for another go.
CuppaPug Edinburgh
Remember begging your parents for a puppy? Well, now you can spend an afternoon surrounded by pugs without having to convince anyone. Quite possibly the best perk of being a grown-up!
Edinburgh Dungeons
Remember this being terrifying as a kid? Turns out it hasn't changed all that much. It's still terrifying but even more fun as an adult.vfgdgd
Camera Obscura & World of Illusions
Five floors of optical illusions, wonky mirrors and mind-bending tricks. Turns out, looking ridiculous in a hall of mirrors never gets old!
National Museum of Scotland
Remember school trips when you could spend hours exploring things you didn’t even know existed? Turns out, museums are just as fascinating when you’re older. P.s Dinosaurs are still very cool even as an adult!
