A must visit when in Glasgow. Very family friendly. Me and a friend had a lovely time exploring the museum and dressing up (we are in our 30s!). Great range of exhibits! Very nice staff. Had a nice coffee and biscuits in the cafe. Reasonably priced gift shop! Location is accessible by hop on tour bus which we took or other public transport! 5 stars.
Hate it cos its indefinitely closed. A crown jewel of tourist attractions in Glasgow's oldest park. Childhood memories abound from late 1950's when my great uncle James opened my eyes to the world of education on many visits there. Now derelict as is the adjacent Victorian tropical plant house. A total GCC disgrace.😡
Free place to go and explore! The museum was really interesting and had a lot of cool displays and parts of the exhibits. I loved the interactive bits and thought it was a perfect spot to get out of the rain and read about Glaswegian history.
Free entrance for everyone. What a lovely place! A splendid way to travel backwards in time! This place truly caters to the public, keeping diverse areas vibrant. The stunning architecture and garden surroundings could easily pass as a filming location for "Downton Abbey." Kudos to the incredibly kind individuals standing at the entrance all day, braving the cold to offer every visitor a proper welcome! Ensure you contribute a small donation to play your part in sustaining this establishment (I've included the QR code in one of the pictures).
Lovely architecture. Free entry. Nice place to bring family. Big grounds on the outside for picnic when the weather is nice and a lovely playground nearby. Lots of free street parking along the Museum. There’s a nice cafe in the winter garden. The display is great to introduce the little ones with some of the things we grew up with from the early 1960s-1990s.
