Riverside Museum

Fantastische ervaring: Very, very nice museum. It's weird that it is free, because it is a very cool collection of a lot of stuff. Highly recommended. Even the personnel is great. 5/5 stars!

Fantastische ervaring: cool architectural building, free entry, and I absolutely loved the exhibition with all the trains and cars and immersive exhibits (and other historical interesting things like fashion and such). it was very informative and would be good for smaller kids as well as adults

Fantastische ervaring: A fabulous museum and the grandchildren love it, win win!

Positieve ervaring: One of Glasgow's best museums and most recognised buildings. However the two don't go hand in hand. The building looks amazing but its space is a weird configuration for a transport museum leading to some odd presentation. That said it's still utterly worth it. And it's free.

Positieve ervaring: Like the Riverside (Transport) Museum in parts. Lovely building, nice location, though not as easily accessible for some who can't, or dont drive. It needs a better public transport link - i.e. buses. As its a bit of a walk from Partick Station. Also some antique cars - exhibits are suspended high above those who visit so you can't see them properly or as easily. And it's cafe although okay isn't great and it's prices aren't that good. Id take my own food & drinks if going there. It's run by Glasgow Life which is an [A.LE.O] An Arms Length External Organisation and isn't the best for it. Opening hours in summer should be longer and likewise with the Tall Ship beside it which has sadly started charging entry fees. Preferred the previous Transport Museum though and it was a better location for buses. So, there's still room for improvement.

Fantastische ervaring: This is one of the best museums in Glasgow. Great collection of vintage cars, bikes and almost all of the historic vehicles. Very beautiful, engaging, informative experience. This museum also has, Great staff Wheelchair accessible Paid parking Free entry

Positieve ervaring: The museum is free, so there's not really much of a downside to going, however, we really didn't enjoy it. There are a lot of vehicles and modes of transport and some other random rooms and history, but it was not that interesting. The kid kind of liked it, as you can go into many rooms and climb into different vehicles or transportation vehicles and there are quite a few screens to interact with (which we don't really like), but overall it just wasn't very exciting. There is no cost of entry (of course you should always leave a donation), so feel free to stop by if you have a way to get there, you would need to take the city bus or use one of the sightseeing buses.

Fantastische ervaring: A great museum, the transport museum is my favourite museum. We especially love the fake street with the old shops and subway. Love seeing how things have changed over the years. There's an upstairs, plenty of things to keep kids amused, including dressing up in the photo shop. The tall ship is great also, it's just outside but you need to pay to go on now. A family ticket was £12.70 so it's not too expensive. Loads of indoor and outdoor places for picnics and there are cafes inside.

Fantastische ervaring: Free to enter :) very cute museum of public transport. Lots of cool exhibits you could go inside, I really liked the trains. There is a water refill point outside

Positieve ervaring: A must visit if you have kids and you enjoy museums. This place is like time travel which allows you to visit an old era. With loads information and vintage vehicles it’s definitely a place to go

Fantastische ervaring: Trains, planes and automobiles! And boats, lots of boats! Our gang of 7 to 77 year olds all enjoyed this free museum on the river Clyde. Pay for parking, though.

Positieve ervaring: Great place for the family to explore! There is even a low level toilet and low level sinks for the younger children to use. Free entry, but a donation box available.

Positieve ervaring: I quite enjoyed Riverside Museum because there was lots of stuff there about the olden days and I liked the four player game as well and the CR5 game was nice too I also liked the motorcycles there too. Some bits were a bit boring but other than that I think it was actually pretty fun and good.

Fantastische ervaring: U can give its second name as" transport museum" from bikes to cars & trams, buses etc

Positieve ervaring: A nice place to see lots of history and some things I can remember seeing and doing,I would recommend talking a packed lunch as food is a bit expensive,a free bus runs from the town to the Museum (100) all in all a good day

Positieve ervaring: Interesting museum. It's fun that you can go into a lot of the transport displays. We didn't need long but I was with an 11 and 9year old. I think with younger ones you could spend longer there

Fantastische ervaring: Absolutely loved everything of it! The history behind these artifacts, especially the new addition to the museum, Car 128 from the Glasgow Underground! I've been really looking forward to it before and during my visit, and spent my hours researching the Glasgow Underground. Overall, it's been fantastic to spend my time looking at the glamorous artifacts of the past. Especially from the Victorian Era! (It's one of my special interests!)

Fantastische ervaring: Excellent collection of all things transport and Scottish. Great for youngsters with plenty to see. Entry is free as is the 100 bus from George Square.

Fantastische ervaring: Great museum , there is coffee shop inside the museum , a souvenirs shop. Large collection of automobiles but not just that. The museum entry itself is free and don’t need to book but the ship entry have small amount of charges .

Fantastische ervaring: Great experience with kids as they loves cars and were stunned with all those old trains bikes cars. We had perfect day

Fantastische ervaring: This museum is just amazing, to see what the transport was like years ago was great,free entry aswell,the staff inside were also very helpful if needed and they also were very knowledgeable if anybody had any questions

Fantastische ervaring: I recently visited the Riverside Museum in Glasgow, and it was an extraordinary experience that exceeded all my expectations! Located on the banks of the River Clyde, the museum showcases the history of transportation in a fascinating and engaging way that captivates visitors of all ages. ✈️ The first thing that grabs your attention is the building itself, designed by the renowned architect Zaha Hadid. The innovative design and striking architecture set the tone for the adventure inside. Upon entering, you're greeted with an impressive collection of over 3,000 objects that tell the story of transportation through the ages. From vintage cars to locomotives, bicycles to skateboards, and even prams, the diversity of exhibits is astounding. One of the highlights is the magnificent Tall Ship, Glenlee, docked right outside the museum. This historic ship offers a hands-on experience, allowing visitors to explore its decks and learn about maritime history. ️ The interactive displays inside the museum are equally engaging, offering a fun and educational experience. You can climb aboard old trams and buses, and even walk through recreated street scenes that transport you back in time. ️ The museum does an excellent job of making history come alive, not just through static displays but through interactive elements and multimedia presentations. There's a sense of adventure and discovery as you move from one exhibit to the next. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to share interesting facts and stories about the exhibits. In addition to the main displays, Riverside Museum hosts various events and workshops throughout the year, making each visit unique and exciting. The museum is also very family-friendly, with plenty of activities to keep children entertained and educated. ‍‍‍ Overall, the Riverside Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history of transportation and industrial heritage. It's a place where history, innovation, and education come together in a beautiful and inspiring setting. ✨ Whether you're a local or a tourist, the Riverside Museum promises an enriching experience that you won't forget. Highly recommended!

Fantastische ervaring: Brilliant museum! Engaging for all the family. Entry free (donation requested), neighbouring carpark costs around GBP2.50/hr. Expect to spend a couple of hours here. Cafe onsite serving lunch from midday.

Fantastische ervaring: Lots to see and interact with keeping kids of any age entertained. The fire engines from different eras were there when we went but aren't always there. The tall ship, Glenlee is next to the museum which kids have fun exploring. There's plenty of seating to bring a packed minch or two cafes to buy food.

Fantastische ervaring: Lots of exhibitions of vehicles and related to them. Amazing that we can see them for free I really liked this spot. If you want to take your time looking around, it's best to allow just over an hour.

Fantastische ervaring: We spent a couple of hours here on a wet Tuesday afternoon, and all our group enjoyed it. It was great to see so many old vehicles, especially cars that some of us remembered, and we also liked the old street.

Positieve ervaring: Nostalgia so it's enough and will be Over. Worth a visit

Fantastische ervaring: Building looks very futuristic. Located near the Clyde river, it showcases some exotic automobile and different modes of transportation. They also display the old locomotives used in Scotland. The museum was designed by the renowned architect Zaha Hadid. Entry to the museum is absolutely free. Recommend visiting this place while in Glasgow. They also have a restaurant and souvenir shop.

Fantastische ervaring: Glasgow's Transport Museum, with almost every type of vehicle you can think of included. Trains, cars, bikes & loads of model boats. It even has a recreated glasgow street scene, with cobbled road, old style street lamps & traditional style shops that you can enter and get a sense of how Glasgow used to be. I love this museum. You can also get access to the Tall Ship from here; also free to enter, like all Glasgow Museums.

Fantastische ervaring: This place is awesome. I loved checking out the Glenlee. What an awesome ship! The soup at the cafe was delicious as well. There is a lot of interesting history here and so many old cars.

Fantastische ervaring: Excellent place to visit. Full of memories of old "glesga" A wonderful walk down memory lane,literally. An amazing old street with old shops and an old subway station. Wonderful place and absolutely free of charge. The tall ship out the back is also free and it's also a fantastic historical experience.

Fantastische ervaring: Lovely museum and well worth the walk out from the city along the river. So good I'd definitely go back. Great insight into the history of transport in Glasgow as well as the ship building. Amazed at the number of different types of ship that have been built on the Clyde

Positieve ervaring: Great place and amazing exhibitions but for me, far too many streaking and screaming kids running around that ruins it sadly...... It's like a children's nursery with an exhibition around it. Perfect if you're OK with that though. Maybe there should be adult only days

Negatieve ervaring: Much preferred the old transport museum to this ,as I don't like the way they've placed everything all mixed up together. The older place was much more better and had its differnt areas. This is what you get when you have foreign people design buildings. This is in Scotland and should have had a Scottish architect design it and its lay out.

Fantastische ervaring: Brilliant. Fantastic building, excellent displays with originality.

Fantastische ervaring: Good place to understand old travel system in the world.

Positieve ervaring: Interesting museum for all ages. All sorts of transport here, cars, bikes, vans......including a travelling showmans home and a familiar waltzer from the fairground. Also, an authentic street and shop fronts from a bygone time. Very enjoyable few hours. Finished the day with a tea and scone in the cafe.

Positieve ervaring: This review is for the CAFE ONLY. Don't expect fine cuisine, and you won't be disappointed. The food was OK - it's the convenience of already being in the museum that causes you to eat here. I had the mac and cheese, which was good, and DW had a 'ham' butty, which she rated 3/5. Canned fizzy drinks were somewhat cool, and ice was grudgingly provided. Visited 24 June.

Fantastische ervaring: Loved seeing the stuff in it. Bigger than I thought it was lol, Something different to do

Fantastische ervaring: Definitely worth the visit.All the exhibits are part of Glasgow.

Fantastische ervaring: Could have spent hours here! What a great FREE place to have some fun, learn some new things, and interact with history!

Fantastische ervaring: Was delighted to be a part of the photo shoot to advertise Glasgow unveiling it's Electric Fleet of City Sightseeing buses outside the amazing Riverside Museum.

Positieve ervaring: Good museum, especially for automobile enthusiasts. It is worth to see 19th century streets of Glaskow and second metro railway of the World.

Fantastische ervaring: The Riverside Museum in Glasgow, also known as the Riverside Museum of Transport and Travel, is highly regarded and a must-visit for those interested in the history of transportation. Located on the banks of the River Clyde, it boasts over 3,000 exhibits, including vintage cars, bicycles, trams, buses, and trains. The museum also highlights Glasgow’s rich shipbuilding heritage with an extensive collection of ship models.Visitors appreciate the museum's interactive displays, which allow you to climb aboard old public transport vehicles and explore a recreated Victorian street complete with shops and a subway station.

Fantastische ervaring: Great day out, plenty to see and do, between the museum and the tall ship. Good way to spend an afternoon.

Fantastische ervaring: Again, thanks to free entry we get to see our historical past brought to life. The Riverside Museum is excellent. The staff are attentive and friendly and very knowledgeable about their exhibits. The tall ship outside is well worth a visit. It opens your eyes to see what early Transport was like at the beginning of the 20th century..

Fantastische ervaring: Loved every bit of it... Was more interested to go to see the amazing architecture designed by Zaha Hadid but every single installment of vehicles and transport system keeps you hooked!

Fantastische ervaring: Great place to visit for adults and kids. Also free which makes it a low cost day out for families. Highly recommend

Fantastische ervaring: Most the things I saw there, I only see them in a movie. Therefore, I couldn't wait to take pictures. Before I released I have taken over 300 pictures and my Nokia 7.2 battery run low. I meant it went off. Make a time and come and enjoy yourself in Glasgow and you will never regret it.

Fantastische ervaring: Really nice place. Exceeded my expectations. I didn't think so many interesting things could be in there. Plenty of parking spaces and there is no entry fee.

Fantastische ervaring: Having recently visited the National Railway Museum in York, I can honestly say that the Riverside Museum needs to teach the Science Museum group a thing or too. The Riverside Museum far excelled in my expectations, fantastic exhibits, my children, my wife and I came away educated having had great fun. The staff were amazing and the food at the on site restaurant was fit for a Micheline Star. I thoroughly recommend you visiting this amazing place... and it's free to enter! You will need a good three hours here, it's that good.

Fantastische ervaring: A very interesting place it’s always great to travel to the past from the present,

Fantastische ervaring: interesting. would revisit with my son next time

Fantastische ervaring: Great museum in a modern building by the riverside. Museum focuses on transport with many different vehicles. Interesting social history. Admission free, donations encouraged. Good food in the cafe Tall ship outside you can visit, managed separately. I wish I could have spent longer here.

Fantastische ervaring: Very good museum. I was hoping for the history of shipbuilding on the Clyde but the museum is much more diverse than that. And that's because Glasgow has produced or built a lot, lot more than just ships!! So it was certainly an education for me. And I so enjoy places that do that...

Fantastische ervaring: Superb museum with nicely arranged models and real vehicles.

Fantastische ervaring: I can't believe this place is free (leave a donation) it's just amazing and the tall ship is amazing.

Fantastische ervaring: Amazing experience, really recommend. It is more orientated toward people visiting with children

Positieve ervaring: This was a pleasant surprise as we went to see the tall ship behind it, however due to construction work we had to divert through the museum to get to the ship. There is an impressive collection of transport vehicles from modern history and all in excellent condition. Not the sort of place you can touch, sit in or climb into the vehicles but great for those interested in seeing them. Best of all....it's free.

Positieve ervaring: A must-see on your visit to Glasgow is the Transport Museum. But it's much more than just a museum! It's a journey through time. Note for visitors from Spain: You can also explore the Galatea (or Glenlee), a sail training ship for the Spanish Navy from 1922 to the 1990s.

Fantastische ervaring: Lots to look at, all sorts of transport styles, bikes to buses trains and boats. Clean toilets and good cafe. Well laid out. It's FREE.

Fantastische ervaring: We had a great family day out, lots to see and as the weather was so nice we got outside on the boat too! The food in the cafe was amazing and service was fab

Fantastische ervaring: My favourite part of the museum was the old street, for me that was what I found interesting. I also saw that they offered sensory packs including fidgets and ear defenders which I thought was really lovely and well thought out.

Fantastische ervaring: Absolutely amazing place to visit. Family friendly - so much to see!!! It was like the TARDIS - bigger on the inside! Just when you thought you'd seen it all you found something new to see!!

Fantastische ervaring: Lovely museum....it is free and exciting. A lot to see. I enjoy every bit of my visit and have a memorable touch with the past and antiquities

Positieve ervaring: Not really a fan of cars or transport system’s generally. But I love the history this museum has preserved! The building!, omg! Awesome! It was my first time seeing Tesla too! Kids friendly too! I spent 40mins inside and left

Fantastische ervaring: Lots of information about transport. Great for adults and kids. It's a lovely location where there is lots of natural light coming in. The ship is is a nice addition to the museum

Fantastische ervaring: A great place to visit, we spent over two hours in the museum including a walk around the tall ship which is docked at the back of the museum followed by coffee & cake. Definitely a place to visit whether on your own or with friends or family.

Fantastische ervaring: Amazing museum! Discovered a lot about the importance of Glasgow and Scotland to the world's development. I also saw real size Scottish trains, really good, and the anchored ship was unique for me.

Positieve ervaring: Embodiment of Glasgow’s glowing history of public and private transport I could not believe when I saw so much under one roof and so articulately presented And all that amazing viewing was absolutely free 2019 summers and come August 2024 I’ll be there again

Fantastische ervaring: It's one of the best museums we have visited, we wanted to spend a few hours, but ended up revisiting a second day so we could see everything. The Tall Ship behind the museum is also a great experience. It does get quite crowded. Entry is free and it has tables scattered around inside if you want to have a meal.

Fantastische ervaring: Very nice museum with lots of interesting exhibits including Scotland's Oldest Post Box (which you can post a letter from with an official stamp from the gift shop). Lots of activities to keep children young and old entertained for a few hours.

Positieve ervaring: Riverside museum is a must visit on a short trip to Glasgow. The collection speaks about the industrial past of Glasgow and how it embraced the manufacturing culture after the victorian era. Exhibits are well maintained and interactive touch displays add to the interest. It's free to enter about a fifteen minute walk from the closest subway.Ample parking is also available in the complex.Exhibits cover the progress in automotive, rail locomotives , ship building and planes.

Fantastische ervaring: Amazing museum, saw real size Scottish trains, really good, and the anchored ship was unique for me. it's really great that the museum is completely barrier-free, including explanations in sign language and special opening times for people on the autism spectrum.One of the best automobile and trains museum I ever seen, there is a lot to see and learn, they also have a boat museum that is free, it is not part of the museum but it is located in the back.

Fantastische ervaring: We enjoyed this so much more than we thought. One of the most unique museums I've ever seen and great for kids. I highly recommend a quick stop, or you can easily spend a few hours.

Positieve ervaring: Neat museum, and free! Definitely worth a visit if you are in the city.

Fantastische ervaring: Really great for kids Free entry Parking was about £7 for half day Lots of exhibits Really clean and tidy Good changing facilities Very helpful staff Only thing. Would benefit from a lot more interactive exhibits for your younger children/toddlers. They had a couple but would be great to have a lot more as there were a lot of parents/grandparents with young kids.

Fantastische ervaring: We took our granddaughter to the fire engine rally, had a great time there, and also visited the tall ship.

Fantastische ervaring: Nice museum with many models of cars, trains, cycles and ship

Fantastische ervaring: full of all kinds of transportation vehicle. Good demonstration to a ship 100 years ago.

Fantastische ervaring: Nice museum. Packed with a wide variety of items and displays. Great for children.

Fantastische ervaring: Lots of fun bits of transportation history from trolleys to trains to cars to bikes to boats. Amazed at how much was tucked in and around the building in areas beyond just that as well

Positieve ervaring: It was a wonderful museum. Lots of interesting to see. It is free entry as well, which is a bonus if you are on a budget

Fantastische ervaring: It’s very varied and the interactive displays and models are really wonderful, but with a few volunteers dressing up eg in the pub/cafe/street/as ticket collectors I think this could be next level fab day out.

Fantastische ervaring: Fabulous place for a wee day out ! Love all the history here it's soo much fun to see how everything was , the layout if great and spacious for prams and wheelchairs , my kids loved it ages 2 and 4 , there's also a cafe inside and a big ship out back in the water you can visit also, this is definitely worth a visit , all the staff were so lovely aswell

Fantastische ervaring: Great place to spend an hour or two looking around. Lots of car and trains to see. Really interesting place to visit.

Positieve ervaring: The Riverside Museum in Glasgow is a modern marvel that beautifully encapsulates the city’s rich transport heritage. With its striking architecture and an impressive collection of over 3,000 exhibits, it offers a fascinating journey through time. Visitors can explore everything from vintage cars and locomotives to skateboards and prams, all displayed in interactive and engaging ways.

Fantastische ervaring: Ein wunderschönes Museum - absolut sehenswert! Der Eintritt in das Museum und Tall Ship ist kostenlos, Spenden sind willkommen. Wenn man Glasgow ist, dann sollte man unbedingt rein. Eine Zeitreise durch Geschichte der Mobilität und von Glasgow, die liebevoll in Szene gesetzt wurden. Ein Restaurant und 2 Kaffee/Snackshops sind vorhanden, Eins davon auf der Tall Ship. Personal ist sehr freundlich.

Fantastische ervaring: Went there with my dad, wife and youngest kids for his 73rd birthday. Brilliant day out especially for the older generation who will remember lots more of the items on show ❤️

Fantastische ervaring: Absolutely impressive! The museum is actually worth a visit just for the unique architecture by Zaha Hadid. The exhibition rooms contain unique exhibits in lovingly and meticulously recreated sets. I also think it's really great that the museum is completely barrier-free, including explanations in sign language and special opening times for people on the autism spectrum.

Fantastische ervaring: Really interesting, with interactive exhibits and unique 1:1 scale set of a Victorian street, complete with underground station. And it's completely free. I could have spent hours in there if not for my phone battery dictating my need to leave.

Fantastische ervaring: It was fantastic experience definitely worth it to go , lots different things old stuff, there a big ship outside in the river get to go on it and downstairs that fantastic, I'm deaf and it even have BSL sign language on screen just great place we stayed for over 4 hours, got cafe , it free to get in just pay for car park . If you ever in Glasgow that be one of the places to go for the day out .

Fantastische ervaring: One of the best automobile and trains museum I ever seen, there is a lot to see and learn, they also have a boat museum that is free, it is not part of the museum but it is located in the back. Two floors, and every part has something unique.

Positieve ervaring: Fun for family visits for free! Not a huge collection though!

Fantastische ervaring: A nice place to visit, a bit of a walk from the centre of town

Fantastische ervaring: Great way to spend time in Glasgow! Lovely walk down the river and some really cool vehicles to see. Perfect for all ages.

Positieve ervaring: Very nice museum, also gives you access to visit The Tall Ship Glenlee.

Fantastische ervaring: The best view is too many vintage cars and this museum kept well maintained with zero fees from visitors. Whoever visiting glasgow must visit this place.

Fantastische ervaring: Trains, Ships, Cars and a slice of historical life in a well presented and engaging museum with free entry and fully accessible for wheelchair users. What's not to like. Kids from ages 3 to 10 loved it and even the wife was interested!

Fantastische ervaring: The transport museum is a must go and see, if you live in Glasgow or just visiting for the first time. It's also free to go inside or you can give a donation to go in . It has old vintage cars ,trams and replicas off warships and passenger ships and much more . There are cafes inside if you want a bit to eat . Enjoy your visit
