Glasgow - What to do for kids?

The_Kaiser

Will be in Glasgow for a couple of days in April. Can anyone advise of any attractions for kids. I have a 5 and 2 year old. Any suggestions - swimming, museums, play areas, wildlife centres?

We visited friends in Glasgow last month and took our 2 year old and 10 month old to the Kelvingrove Museum. The wee fella didn't have much interest in it as he slept but our 2 year old loved it, there was a lot for him to do although he just stood looking at the aeroplane hanging from the roof for ages! It's free entry and there is also a park just across the road if you want to let them run around for a while.

You can visit the Science Centre and watch at the Imax..that will be fun and it is indoor,,,you never know the weather so at least you know you will not soak:-)

The science centre is across the bridge on the Clyde from the Moat House,the Hilton etc.,so nice and handy if your are staying in that area...good walking path and views of the Armadillo from here too.
