Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is one of Glasgow’s most popular family attractions and a fantastic place for children to explore art, nature, history and science all under one roof.
What children will enjoy
Children can discover fascinating displays including natural history collections, animals and fossils, ancient artefacts, armour and weapons, and impressive works of art. Highlights include the famous Spitfire aircraft hanging from the ceiling and Sir Roger the Asian elephant.
Why families love it
Kelvingrove is particularly well suited for families because the space is large, buggy-friendly and easy to explore at your own pace. There are also regular family activities, workshops and seasonal events designed for younger visitors.
Nearby outdoor space
After exploring the museum, families can head outside to Kelvingrove Park which sits directly beside the building. The park offers open green space and plenty of space for children to run around.
