Glasgow Science Centre

Scotland's showcase project for the new millennium is ultra modern. While the focus is on science, the Science Centre is also a museum with a hands-on character. On four floors young and older children as well as adults can try out the interactive exhibits to their heart's content and experience science close up and in a practical manner.
For instance, visitors can give their face a new look with the help of a 3D scanner or, in a special chamber, see the direction that natural rays take. The complex... also features an IMAX cinema and a planetarium. Here visitors are given information about the special features of the universe. And in the Virtual Science Theatre those who are interested can take a virtual three-dimensional journey through the world of molecules. But there is more - the 127 m (416 ft) high Glasgow Tower, where visitors reach the top in just two minutes in a lift that travels at 65 km/h (around 40 mph). From here you can get a spectacular view of Glasgow. more
