This brilliant Glasgow Science Centre will keep the kids (and middle-aged kids!) entertained for hours. It brings science and technology alive through hundreds of interactive exhibits on four floors: a bounty of discovery for inquisitive minds.

There's also an IMAX theater (see the center's website for current screenings), a rotating 127m-high observation tower (opening is weather dependent), a planetarium and a Science Theater with live science demonstrations. To get here, take bus 90 from Union St.
