Glasgow Science Centre is one of the city’s newest attractions. It is comprised of three buildings built on the south bank of the River Clyde. 

The main building is Science Mall, which resembles a slice of orange lying on its side. This building, a fusion of titanium and glass, houses several science exhibitions as well as a planetarium.  The Science Mall is an ideal day out for people of all ages. It mixes learning with entertainment to prove that science can be fun. 

The bulbous cocoon-like building next to that is the centre’s IMAX Cinema. At the tip of the harbour stands Glasgow Tower. The tower was entered into the Guinness Book of Records as being the tallest tower (127 metres) that can turn a full 360 degrees. It is classed as a tower and not a building as it does not have floors continuously from the ground up.

The tower was, unfortunately, plagued by problems normally reserved for structures built on top of ancient burial grounds. During its short history, it has had to close several times. However, do not let this put you off taking a trip up to the viewing platform, as it offers a remarkable view of Glasgow and the River Clyde.
