How to Book Admission to GSC
All visitors are requested to pre-book their visit in advance. During busy periods we may not be able to accept walk-in visits and recommend pre-booking to avoid disappointment. You will be given the option to purchase add-on experiences such as the Planetarium and IMAX 3D documentaries if available while booking your day tickets.
The best ticket option for frequent visitors to the Science Mall is to get our Science Passport. This provides unlimited Science Mall visits for the holder for 1-year. Please note, Passport holders should book their visit using the links below.
On weekdays between 10am to 2pm we regularly have schools visiting, therefore our gallery floors may be busier than normal. We recommend visiting after 1pm during winter opening hours or alternatively at weekends if you would prefer the gallery floors to be quieter.
There is work taking place to replace glazing on the Ground Floor of the Science Mall. Although we are taking measures to reduce the impact to the visitor experience, it is cooler throughout the science centre than normal. We advise visitors that they may be more comfortable to have an extra layer of clothing (such as a jacket or jumper) available to wear, especially during the winter months.
Our main café is currently operating from the Clyde Suite on the Ground Floor at weekends and local school holidays. This temporary move is to allow for essential work to glazing in the cafe area. During this period of work, you do not need to pre-book your table or food online.
Our fabulous Coffee Shop on the ground floor in the IMAX Theatre at Glasgow Science Centre is also open weekdays from 8am and at weekends from 9.30am. It sells a selection of hot and cold drinks, cakes and pastries, sandwiches, toasties and treats.
