When visiting Glasgow one of the must see visitor attractions should be the popular Science Mall
The Science Mall is one of Scotland’s leading tourist draws, which showcases different science and technology ideas in diverse, fun and inspirational ways.

The Glasgow Science Mall is located on the south bank of the River Clyde and opened it’s doors to the public in June 2001, The Glasgow Science Mall is part of the continuing renovation of the Pacific Quay area in an area, which was previously a cargo port recognized as Prince’s Dock.

The Science Mall includes the Glasgow Imax Cinema, The Glasgow Science Centre and the Glasgow Tower. Inside the Science Centre is the Planetarium, which is one of the best equipt planetariums in the UK. This enables the public the opportunity to search the planets and the galaxy within a fifteen metre dome. This allows you the chance to witness the stars without the usual light contamination you would witness attempting to watch the stars from a town or a city. The Glasgow Science Centre is also one of Glasgow’s most intriguing modern buildings, which was designed to be planet friendly.

It is always a good idea to visit the Glasgow Science Centre web site prior to your arrival to see what is on. Everyday there are live experiments and workshops you could be part of and by knowing about these in advance you can sign up for them when you get there. The workshops usually are full and if you have not registered before others on the day you may be unable to join in when you wish. By registering when you arrive it also allows you to see all the other attractions and still not miss any of the shows or workshops.

Whilst at the Science Mall you can also see a movie at the Imax Cinema in 3D. Also inside the Glasgow Science Mall area is the 105m high Tower, the biggest tower in the planet to rotate 360 degrees from the ground up, offering exhilarating views of the city.
