SCHOOL VISITS
Looking for amazing school trips in Scotland? Whether you choose to make a day of it and come to see us, or opt for a visit from our 'On Tour' team, you can expect a great range of benefits and guaranteed standards.
VISIT GLASGOW SCIENCE CENTRE
Glasgow Science Centre really is a blast – no wonder it’s one of Scotland’s favourite visitor attractions. There’s a bunch of stuff to see and do here – there’s hundreds of interactive exhibits in the Science Mall, a Planetarium, Scotland’s biggest-screen IMAX cinema, a Science Show Theatre, a fantastic cafe and a shop filled with goodies. If you’re out of puff reading about it, just imagine being here!
SPACE ZONE
The Space Zone forms an immersive walkway through the solar system towards the entrance of the Planetarium. Observe the planets under a different light and learn fascinating facts about our cosmic neighbourhood. Discover how to spot some of the most recognisable stars and patterns in the night sky without the need for binoculars or a telescope. Experience what it's like working in space and be sure to grab the perfect photo opportunity viewing Scotland from the Cupola — a window into space — just as though you were on board the International Space Station.
