March of Curiosity
Welcome to March of Curiosity, a month‑long celebration of exploration, imagination and hands‑on science at Glasgow Science Centre.
As we mark our 25th year we’re inviting families, schools and lifelong learners to dive into a packed programme designed to spark wonder in every visitor.
Throughout March, you’ll discover inspiring science shows, creative workshops, meet‑the‑expert moments, playful pop‑ups and immersive adventures across our exhibition floors. All of these are created to help you explore the world, the universe and the ideas shaping our future.
Whether you’re joining us for a school trip, a family day out, a festival event or simply following your curiosity wherever it leads, there’s something new to experience every time you visit.
We’re proud to celebrate this milestone year with you - the communities, classrooms and curious minds that make Glasgow Science Centre what it is.
