Things to do with kids in Glasgow and Lanarkshire

Glasgow is Scotland’s most populous city, and is situated on the River Clyde on the edge of the West Central Lowlands.

It’s the UK’s fifth most visited city, meaning that there’s no shortage of things to do with kids in Glasgow and Lanarkshire.

Its best-known landmarks are Glasgow Cathedral, the City Chambers and the Necropolis: one of the most significant cemeteries in Europe. There are several great museums and galleries, such as the Kelvingrove: currently home to Dippy the diplodocus.

The city is also famous for its two football clubs, Celtic and Rangers; football fans will get a kick from a behind-the-scenes tour at The Hampden Experience.

Other great family attractions in the area include the Glasgow Science Centre, the Tall Ship and Snow Factor: Scotland’s only real snow indoor slope.
