A lovely place to visit with grown up kids. You can easily plan an entire day at GSC from 10 am onwards. This place has so much to explore and spread across 3 floors with lots of science phenomenon practically displayed to you and try as well. It greatly helps develop the scientific temperament of your child in easy and fun ways. Adults can enjoy too. Personally I would strongly recommend that to make best use of every penny you pay for the tickets here you should utilise the full time of the day for which the facility is open and thoroughly explore the 2nd and 3rd floors. If coming from exhibition centre station side it's 10-15 mins ride across the river passing by bbc scotland building. The planetarium has 30 mins shows running at 11, 2 & 4pm on different topics so chose one that you like and plan accordingly or as per your ticket try to watch all shows. The ticket section on ground floor is easy to find and can provide all details of different attractions available and ticket types and prices. Google also lists most details about GSC very accurately. We didn't find much challenge buying tickets at the ticket desk though it was weekend.
Went to the Glasgow science centre whilst visiting family over the Christmas period. My daughter aged 11 absolutely loved it and I enjoyed the planetarium. It was great to see information about Tim Peake who is also from my local area. Well worth a visit!
Very much a hands on learning museum for all ages. We made a short visit during the Christmas holiday. Be sure to book ahead if you want to be able to see the IMAX or Planetarium.
Brilliant day out at Glasgow Science Centre! We had such a great time, with our 6 year old daughter, there’s loads to see and do for all ages. The interactive exhibits kept everyone entertained for hours, and it’s clear how much effort goes into keeping everything engaging and educational. The staff were friendly and really helpful, and IMAX 3D cinema was a highlight. It’s one of those places where you can easily spend the whole day without getting bored. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Glasgow, whether you’ve got kids or you’re just a big kid yourself!
Glasgow Science Centre is a wonderful museum that presents science in a fun and engaging way for all ages. It helps children understand what they learn at school through practical and interactive experiences. The centre has diverse sections that keep everyone entertained and curious. I highly recommend visiting it for anyone coming to Glasgow, Scotland
