 Scotland for Visitors - Glasgow Science Centre Review
The G.S.C. is designed for a wide range of audiences from school parties (or young children on their own/with parents etc.) to a much more "mature" audience.
As the name suggests its main focus is on bringing science and technology to life through hundreds of interactive exhibits in the Science Mall and the unique (perhaps unnervingly so) experiences of the IMAX Theatre.
Unfortunately the Glasgow Tower is still closed (did it ever really open ?!?-it was closed for structural repairs within two weeks of opening) so that part cannot be reviewed and while it would have been nice to see the city from "the heights" it didn't really detract from the morning (going into the afternoon) out.
