Katy Lawson
We thought it would only be an hour or two at the centre for us but 5 hours later we finally managed it all! Was a lot of really genuinely interesting tactile and hands-on fun for two 20 year olds and two 60 year olds, and the amount of children running around was a clear sign too. Highly recommended if you want a fun way to teach them!

Me and my friend arrived at the science centre today with our one year old babies. Upon arriving we were greeted by a truly lovely and welcoming chap by the name of Stuart. He helped me and my friend with directions, what was happening in the centre today and very welcoming and friendly chat. After a great day at the science centre and wonderful experience for our babies in the play area, we met Stuart again when leaving. Once again he was more than delightful to chat to. So much so, both babies gave him a wave goodbye. I just wanted to leave a review to show our gratitude.

The Glasgow Science Centre is an absolutely fantastic place to visit! 🌟 It’s not just a museum but an exciting and interactive hub for science, technology, and learning. Whether you’re a curious child, a science enthusiast, or just someone looking for a fun day out, this place has something for everyone! From interactive exhibits to live science shows, you’re guaranteed to learn something new and have a great time while doing it. 🧠🚀 The design of the centre itself is impressive – the futuristic architecture makes you feel like you’re stepping into another world. 🌍 The planetarium, in particular, is an experience not to be missed, offering breathtaking views of the night sky and distant galaxies 🌌✨. It’s perfect for families, school groups, or even a solo adventure if you’re in the mood to explore. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to answer questions or demonstrate how things work. 🤖 They make the experience even more engaging and enjoyable. What I love most is how the centre inspires curiosity and a passion for learning. Whether it’s physics, biology, or space, you leave feeling like you’ve explored the wonders of the universe. Highly recommended if you’re in Glasgow! 👏🔬

One of the best museums/science centres I’ve ever been to. The level of hard work gone into this building is something I’ve never seen before. There are so many interactive activities and displays and so much to learn. Came with my friends and had such a fun time learning and playing with all the features. Would highly recommend.

We had an amazing time here!!! Spent 6 hours altogether and it was just enough to visit all 3 floors. The whole place it tidy with plenty of people to help you if you have any questions. One of the most fun places I have ever visited in my 32 years. And of course the 6 and 8 year old enjoyed it too. We also went to a planetarium show, that was brilliant as well, Gazing at the Stars I think that was the name of the show. We grabbed lunch around 1pm and it was a great selection to choose from. This place is a must!
