Glasgow Science CentreOne of the city's premier tourist sights, the Glasgow Science
Centre is a captivating and compelling attraction that will appeal
to visitors of all ages. Located in Glasgow's Clyde Waterfront
Regeneration area, the Science Centre has been awarded a five-star
ranking from VisitScotland, the country's official tourist board.
There is much to see and do in the Glasgow Science Centre. The
heart of the Centre is its Science Mall, which features hundreds of
interactive exhibits spread over three floors. On the first floor,
kids will be delighted by the Giant African Land Snails and the
Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches; while highlights on the second
floor include a fancy console that allows you to morph your
features with those of celebrities, and to view a 3D model of your
face. The third floor is probably the pick of the lot, featuring
brain-teasing optical illusions in the Mindworks and Alice and
Wonderland exhibitions. The Glasgow Science Centre is also home to
an IMAX theatre and Scot Address: 50 Pacific Quay, Glasgow Website: www.gsc.org.uk Telephone: 0141 420 5000 Opening Time: Open daily, from 10am to 5pm (summer); open Wednesday
