👨👩👧 With kids
The Riverside Museum has hands-on exhibits and a recreated street with shops you can step into, and entry is free.
⚑ Flagged or left out: the Fossil Grove in Victoria Park. It is free but opens only on selected Sundays from April to October, and our only source for those dates is the Geological Society of Glasgow, so check before you go. The Tall Ship's prices aren't given (one source). The Hunterian's Kelvin Hall showcase is free but has only one source.
