Glasgow’s Best Low Cost Family Activities: The Indoor Edit
Glasgow has loads of indoor places and activities that are either completely free to visit, or pretty low cost. Here’s a list of some of our favourites we’ve visited in the past 5 years!

National Museum of Rural Life
The National Museum of Rural Life is an excellent day out. It’s one of our favourite places to visit. There are lovely farm animals to see (and probably to give a wee pat to), lots to keep kids entertained in the museum, a little playpark, and a decent cafe as well. The tractor ride is fun for everyone too.
St Mungo Museum & Glasgow Cathedral
I enjoyed wandering around St Mungo Museum and Glasgow Cathedral. There are lots of really beautiful artefacts and architecture. The little lady didn’t quite appreciate either of them though. She enjoyed exploring, but we’ll probably go to a more child-friendly museum in future.
New Lanark & Falls of Clyde
New Lanark is a great day out whether you want to spend it indoors or outdoors. The Annie McLeod Experience is something fun and unusual for a rainy day, and the Falls of Clyde Reserve is a lovely place for a walk.

The Hunterian Museum
We’ve been doing a lot of museum-ing recently, since Spring decided it wasn’t quite ready to come out yet. So last week we took a wee wander around the Hunterian Museum, in Glasgow University. I hadn’t been since I was…
A Run Around GoMA
If you’re in town and need something to do, GoMA (the Gallery of Modern Art is perfect for a wee indoor run around with the toddler. We were meeting a friend in town for some grub & decided to let my…
Science Here We Come!
I was so excited to cash in our vouchers for our science passports at the weekend; a very thoughtful Christmas gift from my family. Our science passports mean we can visit the Science Centre for a year at anytime, for…
People’s Palace & Winter Gardens
We checked out the People’s Palace & Winter Gardens a few days ago. The Museum Apart from being a place to run around in, the museum itself doesn’t really cater for young kids. There isn’t much for them to do…
The Riverside Museum
We took a little trip to the Riverside Museum at the weekend. It was an attempt to simultaneously get out of the house, and not be outside in the freezing cold. (We’re not big enough for snowman building yet, and…
