Glasgow Science Centre
Glasgow Science Centre Review
Families with children love this museum, which has a fun-packed Science Mall, an IMAX theater, and the futuristic Glasgow Tower. The 417-foot spire—with an aerodynamic profile that twists 360 degrees—is a marvel. In the three-level Science Mall, state-of-the-art displays educate kids and adults about exploration, discovery, and the environment. The ScottishPower Planetarium has a fantastic Zeiss Starmaster projector, which allows visitors to gaze at the glittering stars. Set aside half a day to see everything. IMAX screenings and planetarium visits are extra.
