The centre, which opened on June 5th 2001 by Queen Elizabeth II, sits on the South bank of the River Clyde. It is composed of three principal buildings; Science Mall , IMAX cinema & Glasgow Tower .

Daisy Swain

Good value and entertaining for kids and adults alike! The area by the river is also a great spot for photographers with this, the BBC building, Hydro and Clyde Arc all nearby.

Looking for something for little kids (and big kids?) Great indoor option on a rainy day with so many interactive elements for everyone to get involved with. Lovely walk along the river also.

Hamed Al Jabri

What make this place so special is that the science is so simplified that makes it fun to explore. Additionally, the staff are so friendly so welcoming and very helpful. IMAX and Shows are great

Sheetal Revis

Little kids (and big kids) all love this place. Great indoor option on a rainy day with so many interactive elements for everyone to get involved with. Lovely walk along the river also.

This is one of the best Glasgow attractions to take the kids. Explore the three buildings (IMAX Cinema , Science Mall , Glasgow Tower ) to learn about science and technology the fun and exciting way.

For those who grew up wanting to wander in #BeakmansWorld #lab this is the place for you. Oh! And there is an #IMax theatre just next to it.

George Stewart

My son and I like to spend a good part of Sunday here following up with a film at the magic IMAX cinema .. Season ticket definitely worth it.

The Center consists of an egg-shaped titanium-covered IMAX theatre and an interactive Science Mall with floor-to-ceiling windows – a bounty of discovery for young, inquisitive minds.

ドーラ

Check out the planetarium , where the Scottish Power Space Theatre brings the night sky to life and a Virtual Science Theatre takes you on a 3-D molecular journey.

Stuart Martin

Has a dedicated picnic area , so don't be afraid to take one and save some money!

Andrei J

A place to go with your kids, not too much fun for adults.

Kate Farrell

My three year old love it here - and very accessible - particularly if you find the huge lift just behind the ticket desk rather than the tiny other lift

ドーラ

Look out for the illusions (like rearranging your features through a 3-D head-scan) and the cloud chamber, showing tracks of natural radiation.

Lena R.

Go crazy and wake up the kid in you. Full of hands-on exhibits . Many kids though, can get very crowded

Valentina Pisani

Very entertaining, funny and interactive.

Lorraine Bremner

Good value for money . Very interesting and amazing views of Glasgow!

Edith S

Café food not bad and very reasonably priced eg cake £1.50, soup £2.50 (June 2015)

Graham Macphee

Book things early and organise your day to make sure things go smoothly.

Susan Mann

The season ticket is great value for money .

Wired

One of Scotland’s must-see visitor attractions and home of Nina and The Neurons.

Graham Macphee

You need to see the planetarium and the IMAX theatre !

Mia B

Quite a fun science museum clearly designed for young children. Maybe not the best idea for impatient adults.

Paul Lambie

The cloakroom is unattended so don’t bring a big jacket or you’ll be well sweaty.

Chas Kane

If you go into the IMAX show up really early, more so with the bigger films . Queues get really big

James Robertson

Free on street parking nearby, no need to pay for the car park

A Fara

Like this part;)

Ankur Sinha

Mauro Daneluzzi

The right place where spend some time with your sons

andrew robertson

Chronic queue fatigue. Run like a communist country on a go-slo.

Pete J

Be sure to catch one of the shows in the Science Theatre .

Kishor Kumar

Watch a show on IMAX

johnboyvr .

Good but over priced

John McCallum

Took two and three year olds and they loved. So much so we bought a season ticket .

Clarke Duncan

Don't bother taking your kids on a Sunday to IMAX they don't bother opening the concession shop but still charge you full rate, plus is run by council so is why it sucks.

John McCallum

,2 for 1 this weekend!

Siobhan Harley

Not recommended if under the age of ten.
