Glasgow Science Centre has unveiled its packed programme of activities for the summer holidays, as visitors are encouraged to book their trip in advance in June to take advantage of lower Day-Entry ticket prices, before peak-time rates start in July.

No two days will be the same at the Science Centre, and families will be able to Go Beyond the Ordinary and experience a jam-packed programme of hands-on exhibits, workshops and activities.

The extensive summer programme includes a brand-new live science show, Super-Human Science, which delves into the extraordinary ways the human body responds to extreme conditions.

Kids can tune in to a Sounds Great workshop to discover how ears work, get hands-on with real-life dissections, or solve clues to become DIY Detectives. They will also be able to take part in exciting activities with real-life healthcare science experts.

Film lovers can enhance their visit with the exclusive T-REX 3D mini blockbuster or enjoy big-screen thrills like F1: The Movie in the IMAX cinema.

Sci-Fi fans also won’t want to miss the special showing of Star Trek (2009) on the 19 July, followed by a lecture and Q&A with the film’s scientist Dr Erin Macdonald.

Visitors can take a tour of a new generation of wildlife on the floating wetlands, book an out-of-this-world night out with immersive musical experiences like Queen Heaven and Dark Side of the Moon in the Planetarium, and take a ride in Scotland’s only full-motion flight simulators. 

Glasgow Science Centre’s day-ticket peak-time pricing will be in effect over July and August, but visitors can book early in June for the summer holidays to lock in the early-bird rates.

Commenting, Glasgow Science Centre Director of Experience Development Gillian Lang said: “Whether you're watching a dinosaur come to life in 3D, exploring the limits of human endurance, or stargazing to the sounds of Queen, there’s something for every visitor this summer at Glasgow Science Centre.

“By booking day-tickets in advance in June, families can plan ahead and make the most of our extensive summer programme.”
