Building Wonders
This Easter, the rabbits are taking over...again!
Hop on down to Glasgow Science Centre this Easter for a cracking celebration of hands‑on fun. Building Wonders is back, bringing an egg‑stravaganza of construction challenges, egg-citing science activities and a hare-raising trail to explore. With giant block‑building zones, creative engineering tasks, a fiery live science show and a brand new IMAX mini-blockbuster, it's the perfect way to fill the holidays with curiosity and joy.
And with the Science Centre celebrating its 25th birthday year, there are even more reasons to join the fun and make it your year to explore.
No bunny does Easter quite like us.

Our outdoor discovery area also features over 10 interactive experiences exploring light, sound and motion – all available without a ticket.
Kids can dig into the sand pits while grown-ups take a break at the picnic tables with a coffee and a treat from the cafe.
Don’t miss our daily Wetland Tour*, led by our knowledgeable team. Discover how our floating wetlands benefit the local environment and explore the rich history of the Canting Basin.

Whatever you fancy, we’ve got you covered!
