The Glasgow Science Centre, currently taking shape on the south bank of the Clyde at Pacific Quay, is a stunning new attraction for Scotland.

Built on a city centre riverside site, the £75 million complex houses the only IMAX® Cinema north of the border, a four-floor main exhibits building, and the Glasgow Tower - a slender wing-shaped structure which rises 440 feet into the Clydeside air.

The first buildings in the UK to be clad in titanium (and only the second in Europe after Bilbao's Guggenheim Museum), GSC will house a wide range of exhibits explaining the world around us and illuminating the role played by science and technology in the development - and future - of Glasgow and the West of Scotland.

The complex will offer a variety of activities to suit the time available to visitors. From a one-hour trip into space or under the North Pole, the IMAX® Theatre will offer a viewing experience unrivalled in Scotland, while an all-day visit could include a look through the main exhibits building, taking in a science show with barmy biology or flashy physics, a meal in the café bar or bistro, and an unforgettable trip up the Tower.
