Get close to some animals — and help a good cause while you're at it — at Butterfly and Insect World. You'll learn about wildlife conservation efforts and contribute to the care of this haven's amazing creatures.

Butterfly and Insect World has an entrance fee, so grab your wallet and head on over to the leafy neighborhood of Lasswade. Where to next after the wildlife safe haven? Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre and Palace of Holyroodhouse are some nearby attractions worth a visit if you've still got time.
