The train station is just over the bridge and costs around £2.50 return. You can also walk quite easily from the city centre and this is quite interesting as you see the river as well. We paid extra for the planetarium and it cost us ... more

I have lived in Glasgow for 3 years and went to the Science Centre for the first time last weekend. I don't know why I haven't been sooner, probably because when you live somewhere you don't seem to find the time for tourist attractions. I am SO glad I went. I really enjoyed it. It's easy to get to. There are plenty of buses from the city centre, including the site seeing open top bus. You can also catch the 89 or 90 circular bus which goes around the whole city.

The Glasgow Science centre is a great fun day out for all the family. There are many different attractions there and it caters to all age groups (including us adults lol). The science centre is split between two levels and has individual exhbits, with instructions beside this, and explains the science behind it. This part is obviously aimed at adults, but the ehbits are really fun for the children to do. Thjere is also a planetarium, which offers daily shows at specific times (although in my many times of visiting it has never been open). The planetarium is also available for people to hire for private functions, such birthdays and wedding recpetions. There is also the ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Glasgow Science Center: Fun and Educational Day Out For Everyone! (706 words)

I visited the Glasgow Science Centre today with my 16yr old niece, my 8yr old son and my 5yr old daughter. My children absolutely loved it. We arrived about 11.30am, there was a long queue but it moved reasonably quickly, I am guessing I queued for about 10 to 15mins. Beside the queue there are tables and chairs where the children can sit and colour in or draw a picture, this was great as I am sure you will know how impatient children can get when having to queue. It is an unsupervised area so you will have to keep an eye on the kids, which is possible whilst queueing. The admission prices for adults are £7.95, children aged 3 up to 15yrs £5.95, under 3's go ...  Read the complete review

When I first moved to Glasgow just over 6 years ago and while working as a temp I found myself working for the Director of Buildings on what was effectively the building site of the planned Glasgow Science Centre. Added to the fact that the centre was based on the science centre in Canada and designed by many of the same Canadian designers who had been responsible for the Toronto centre, I have felt a strange sense of loyalty to what is now the Glasgow Science Centre. However, this does not mean I am blind to the defects of the project. I have decided to review the Glasgow Science Centre following several visits with my boys as a mum and a visitor and with an unbiased ...  Read the complete review

The Glasgow Science Centre is part of a complex where three new attractions have been built on the south side of the River Clyde. As well as the Science Centre there is the Imax Cinema, which boasts as having the biggest cinema screen in Scotland. Also there is the Glasgow Tower, which is the tallest free standing structure in Scotland. On the day we visited the complex the Tower was closed, as apparently there have been some problems with the lifts, so we just visited the Science Centre. The easiest way to the centre is by train to the Exhibition Centre station and then a short walk over the Bells Bridge across the River Clyde to the Science Centre ...  Read the complete review
