I have visited numerous science museums and can say that this is one of my absolute favourite. Its interactive whilst being educational. Its fun with lots to see and do covering a whole spectrum of scientific genres. I also saw Sea Rex, the 3D iMAX film and it was well worth it. I would highly recommend if you have any... More

we had an amzing day at the glasgow science centre. my son is 4 and he had such fun playing, creating, touching and learning. the imax ad on @£2.5o is well worth it. my only negative is that we arrived at 1pm and didn't get round everything by closing time! More

Good place to spend a few hours with the kids. Lots of hands on exhibits explaining science in a fun way for adults and children alike. Before you know it you will be pulling levers, balancing, peering into mirrors and generally having a great time. Very educational for the youngsters. The building itself is quite futuristic sitting by the Clyde.... More

Right on the river Clyde with very good views across the river to the north side of the city towards the University of Glasgow, and the Kelvingrove art gallery's. One recommendation I would... More
