This is one of the best attractions in Glasgow! We used to go for night walks along the river and enjoyed the view but decided to give this a try in summer. Although a bit on the expensive side but definitely worth a visit atleast once. We found the staff very friendly and helpful. I have a slight fear of heights and was having second thoughts in the elevator but the then I found myself mesmerised in the views and fear was gone! It's amazing to be so high up that you can see the entire city almost! Family liked it too and we got our certificates on the way out!!

It was a bit tricky to find the entrance but it was a great experience. You can have a nice birds eye view of the city. Plus, our guide was very knowledgeable about the history and the area. It's only 9.5 pounds (around $13) but you get to be at the 2nd tallest structure in Glasgow and have an awesome city view as far as the mountain ranges. I recommend it for sure. Note that they are weather dependant so if it's raining or windy they will be closed. So, better check the weather before confirming your visit. Do not recommend pre-booking.

Good, enjoyed it, but not great. Conveniently located next to science centre, but because of that it only goes to the towers height from the river level. I've seen towers like this usually located on some elevation compared to city centre, which would be easily done with Glasgows elevation differences - the view could be way better at even half the current hight of the tower itself.

Finally managed to get up the tower today! Well worth a visit (come on a calm day as the tower closes when wind is more than 25mph). The view is stunning and you can see so much from 100odd meters off the ground. I've been up the Berlin Fernsehenturm and you can see way more from Glasgow tower (and the windows are cleaner)

We were impressed with Glasgow, a wonderful city, with clean streets, a great restaurant, and there are all kinds of stores close to each other for you to shop, at a great price. who haven't been to glasgow yet, i recommend to going, stay 3 days if you have your car, everything is easier for you to know all the places.

Showed up a bit after they opened on what had been a gray and rainy day. We ended up being the first group up as they apparently can't operate the elevator when the wind is over a certain speed. The view was amazing and the guide was knowledgeable about the towers unique construction and the visible landmarks.
