A fascinating if a little macabre place to visit. Not for the squeamish as there lots of bits of bodies. Very well done though and there's a lot to learn and interact with. The historic body dissection is done especially well as is the new technology section. It's all up stairs but good lift access and the older members of our group appreciated the seats. Staff very friendly.

Just attended a tribute to The legend of Queen tonight at surgeons hall. It was amazing and Freddy ( Peter Marchand )had me smiling and in tears , he was fantastic with a brilliant band. I would love to return again. Peter is a brilliant showman with fabulous vocals and my husband and l would highly recommend this show to take you back to a great era gone by. I have sent snippets to my friend in Moscow and she loved it too.. don’t miss a great show

I really enjoyed our visit to the Surgeons Hall Museum. The exhibits and information were fascinating and how it connects to the history of Edinburgh even more so. Not every member of our group had the stomach for it - organs in jars is not appealing to everyone. As someone with a science degree, I found every piece fascinating. Our visit was quicker than I would have liked, as it was a hot day and there was not any cooling inside, so we were done in under an hour. But on a cooler day I would have explored more. The staff were really kind and welcoming.

I enjoyed going through this museum. There are no photos allowed inside which makes sense as some of the items are not for the faint of heart. I did get a bit squeamish seeing some of the specimens. Reading the stories was very interesting and I really appreciate the advances in science thanks to people like the ones showcased here. It didn’t take long to get through, there is a small gift shop and there are toilets. There are stairs throughout and there is an elevator, if needed.

We visited after we attended a walking tour of Edinburgh. We spent a good couple of hours here, with 2 teenagers. The number of specimens is almost overwhelming. The digital autopsy set up is amazing and informative No photos allowed inside but thE building and cafe are worth a visit in their own right. Highly recommend.
