Glasgow Science Museum

Kind of ashamed to admit I've never been here before, but we finally made it. Glad we picked a dry day to visit, as it was very busy ... I can't imagine how busy it would be on a wet day! The showings for the IMAX were sold out when we arrived at about 11.30am, so if you want to see those you'd probably be better booking in advance.

Car parking was easy, with a token for the car park costing £3. We used our Tesco Clubcard Vouchers to get in, and also purchased tickets for a Planetarium showing - there were four time slots to choose from.

There are four floors in the science halls, all stuffed with science things  - very hands on for kids, masses to keep you busy for hours and plenty of staff around doing shows and demonstrations. We could have been there longer, and still not have done everything there was to do. I find it really hard to pick out one particular thing that made me think "wow" or something so popular we had to queue for a shot - in fact, everything was good but sad to say nothing was actually that memorable! But surely the most important judge is my daughter, since she's the kid, after all.

On the way out I said, "Well, we've done everything I think... what bit would you like to go back and do again?" and was a little amused by the answer "Well mum, I'd really like to go back on the escalator."
