Resident Rewards Monthly Star

Unique to Forever Edinburgh, the Monthly Star Reward offers residents with an EH postcode one high value reward from one local business each month.

From discounts on walking tours, distillery visits and top attractions, as well as one-off prices at some of the city’s finest eateries, we reveal a new offer each month – all designed especially for Edinburgh and Lothian residents to rediscover, revel in and enjoy more about their fantastic city.


Kids go free at Camera Obscura & World of Illusions 

With five floors of fantastic fun, jam-packed with over 100 illusions – not to mention 360⁰ views of Edinburgh – Camera Obscura & World of Illusions is guaranteed to thrill, astonish and captivate.

Throughout March, one child goes free with each full paying adult at this must-see 5-star attraction.

Step inside the city’s oldest visitor attraction, located at the top of the Royal Mile, and explore a world of illusions with surprises around every corner. Navigate a swirling light vortex and maze of mirrors, see yourself grow, shrink and stretch, or play eye-spy with the astonishing city viewcams and enjoy visual effects that twist reality. Join your guide inside the mysterious rooftop chamber to see Edinburgh as you’ve never seen it before.

Then, head outside to the Rooftop Terrace and enjoy an unbeatable vantage point for the most breath-taking photographs – you can even take a closer peek with a range of binoculars, all of which are free to use.

And ensuring none of the family miss out, dogs are also welcome.

Perfect for visitors of all ages, Camera Obscura & World of Illusions is a magical place for making memories and having a blast.
