robbo1874 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I've been with my 3. Cost me a small fortune. My girls(11&13) went on that star thing next to Walter Scott Monument. 60 metres up? Me and the wee man bottled out. There's big wheel, Double Decker Carrousel. Stalls for food, bevvy and selling stuff. I would say it all depends on the age. The bottom part is for younger ones. I would say 8 and under. Take plenty money. It has been done pretty well though. Oh and maybe try over in St Andrew Sq Helter Skelter, Carrousel. Ice skating on both parts.

151 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Is it open late? Just cause were going early but then cutting away to the Hearts game and then potentially going back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 How busy is the ice-skating on St Andrew Square? Is there room for a 7-year old girl and 43-year old man friend to get used to ice for the first time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washniklaw Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I was moving round the stalls and noticed, to my delight, that Lidl was one. I popped in, purchased a 12 pack of mince pies and then went on my way. Later on we bought a coffee and had a couple of mince pies at the same time. The people around us seemed delighted when we offered them all free ones. It doesn't have to be ridiculously expensive! I was suprised by there presence but I suppose a German market would be a natural place for a German retailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neave Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Every time I've been it's been a complete rip-off. Pretty sure they were charging about ?4 for a piss-weak hot chocolate last year. Is it any better this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
