Glasgow Science Centre - Science Mall
The heart of Glasgow Science Centre is the Science Mall. The gleaming titanium crescent overlooking the Clyde has three floors packed with hundreds of hands on exhibits and interactive workshops that will fascinate you. It's also home to the Science Show Theatre, the lab and Planetarium - one of the finest planetaria in the world.
Test your reactions with our wiggly wire, see the affects of air pressure and things might not be as they first appear in our illusions section. Get up close and personal with our creepy crawlies on your visit to Floor 1- meet our Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches, Giant African Land Snails and our very talented musical fish.
Floor 1 is also home to our Science Show Theatre and our state-of-the-art Planetarium.
Science Mall, Floor 2 - Be Creative, Be Innovative
This 650 square metre development at Glasgow Science Centre lets your imagination loose and challenges you to invent and make things.
Take apart a petrol engine to see how it works and its ingenuity. Create an animation and send it to yourself. Make a structure and simulate an earthquake to see how it copes. Draw an amazing pattern using the harmonograph.
Discover more of what's on floor 2 including The Earthquake Table, Pinball and The Rollercoaster
Science Mall, Floor 3 NEW - MindWorks
Opening in time for the Spring schools holidays, MindWorks is a brand new exhibition on Floor 3 of the Science Mall!
Explore the way your mind perceives the world around you and start to understand how your brain works. There are mind-benders of all sorts including the vortex tunnel, a size altering room, the giant video ball, optical illusions and tricks of perception.
It’s all real but nothing is how you perceive it- start to make sense of your senses.
You can also enter the MindWorks photo competition and see your picture on display in the Science Centre. Find out how you can enter the competition.
Fall down the rabbit hole and enter our new fantastical exhibition- Alice in Wonderland. Is seeing really believing? How do our brains make sense of the world around us? Curiouser and curiouser!
As part of our 10th anniversary we are bringing back the award winning Alice in Wonderland exhibition! Youngsters can explore the science of illusion through the wonderland of Lewis Carroll’s classic book.
