Science Centre Tower re-opens for Summer

The Tower at Glasgow Science Centre will reopen for its summer season today.

The Tower is the only one on earth capable of rotating 360 degrees into the prevailing wind and holds the Guinness-World-Record for the tallest fully rotating freestanding structure in the World.

Visitors will be able to take the 2.5 minute journey to the top to enjoy panoramic views of the city, the Clyde and the landscapes beyond.

Dr Stephen Breslin, Chief Executive of Glasgow Science Centre, said:

“I am thrilled to open the Tower once again to visitors for our summer season. The views from the the top are spectacular and give a unique outlook over the city for Glaswegians and visitors to our city alike.

As a ‘world first’, Glasgow Tower pushes the boundaries of engineering and when you visit, you really appreciate the cutting-edge design and science behind it.”
