Glasgow Science Centre
A science centre on the south bank of the Clyde, clad in titanium, with three floors of hands-on galleries and a planetarium that suits families.
The Glasgow Science Centre comprises a science gallery, an IMAX cinema and the Glasgow Tower. Its exhibits focus on hands-on experiments, and there is also a planetarium and a health-themed exhibition. Next door, the Glasgow Tower can rotate a full 360 degrees and was the world's first tower that can turn as a whole, but it has been closed for years due to technical problems. Tickets start from about £12, and the centre closes some weekday periods in winter, so check the official website first. It sits across the river from the Riverside Museum, and next to the SEC arena.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:00–17:00 (may close on winter weekdays)
