Glasgow Science Centre
Address: 50 Pacific Quay, Glasgow, G51 1EA
Tel: 0141 420 5000
The building itself is state of the art, made from titanium it houses over 3000 exhibits as well as café and shop all spread over three floors. The building is spectacular and is one of the latest landmarks produced as part of the Clyde side regeneration which is going on at the present time.
Contained within the Glasgow Science Centre is an Imax cinema with a screen larger than a 5-a-side football pitch. The 12,000-watt speakers produce a sound quality unrivalled by any other. Showing 2D and 3D films in a way that will make you think twice about seeing a film in the normal way at your local cinema.
For a truly spectacular view of Glasgow why not go to the top of the Glasgow Tower at the Science Centre. Standing at 105m high, make sure you have a head for heights. Designed by Richard Horden Associates the Glasgow Tower is the only building in the world which is capable of turning all the way round from the ground up. What better place to have such a wonderful piece of engineering than at the Glasgow Science Centre.
Visit the science mall for a vast range of hands on exhibits allowing you to explore the scientific world. The staff at the Science Centre are trained scientists and communicators and are always on hand to explain and help you, making your day out all the more enjoyable.
One of the most popular things is the live show guaranteed to intrigue and entertain you. Also available are workshops, the Scottish power planetarium and of course a café and restaurant. Toilet facilities are also available.
