Opening times
The centre is open daily with seasonal hours, ranging from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM in winter up to 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in the main spring and summer period.
Scottish Seabird Centre is easiest to use as a timed Discovery stop in North Berwick rather than a full boat-trip day by default. The centre is simple to pair with lunch, beach time, or a harbour walk, while boat trips are an optional seasonal extra with their own boarding rules.
Best for North Berwick days, car-free outings from Edinburgh, and families who want wildlife interpretation without committing to a full boat trip
