Glasgow Tower

Experience unrivalled views of Glasgow, the River Clyde and surrounding landscape from Glasgow Tower. Glasgow Tower is the only structure on earth capable of rotating 360° into the prevailing wind and holds the Guinness World Record for the tallest fully rotating freestanding structure in the world. At 127 metres high — the equivalent of over 30 double-decker buses — Glasgow Tower is the tallest freestanding building in Scotland. Glasgow Tower is designed to move in the wind. Some visitors find the swaying sensation in windy weather unnerving. This is why the Tower closes when the wind speed exceeds gusts of 25 mph at cabin height. Glasgow Tower is an experience that is operated by Glasgow Science Centre. Glasgow Tower operates, when weather conditions permit, during the summer season. Tickets cost £5.50 when bought as an add-on to a Science Mall ticket. A stand-alone ticket for Glasgow Tower costs £9.50. (Prices stated include Gift Aid, Donation and VAT.) .
