So worth it. Interactive and fun. Must visit with family. Kids are occupied for a good 2-3 hours. Beautifully maintained. Will come back again.

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

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!
