AVOID the madness of mid-term this autumn by packing up the kids and taking a fun-filled trip to Glasgow!
With great food, amazing architecture, fantastic shopping and fun attractions just a short ferry crossing away, it’s the perfect place to shake off the winter blues.
Glasgow City Marketing Bureau’s Senior Marketing Communications Manager, Elaine Dickie, said that Autumn is certainly the season for fun seeking families to visit Glasgow.
“Each of Glasgow’s Leading Attractions has their own special offer this season,” said Elaine. “With two for one admission offers and money off vouchers, there are lots of ways for you save money on your visit.
“From the thrills and spills of the UK’s longest indoor real snow slope at Xscape to visiting Scotland’s museum of transport and travel, the Riverside Museum with over 3,000 objects on display, Glasgow has got it all and with the opportunity to see much more for less, there is no better time to get away.
“Visitors to the Riverside Museum can venture onboard The Tall Ship ‘Glenlee’ which operates an exciting programme of events and activities.
“The city also has a great network of tourist transport, so you can see it all on an open top tourist bus and hop on and hop off as many times as you like,” Elaine concluded.
Other attractions include Glasgow Science Centre where there are hundreds of hands on science exhibits, shows and challenges in an amazing building on the River Clyde; the ever-popular Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum which features interactive exhibits especially designed for children and The Hampden Experience where 14 galleries will take you through the development of modern football in Scotland.
VisitScotland, the national tourism agency, has leant its weight to the drive to attract visitors to Glasgow and is promoting the city as an ideal location for enjoying some of the country’s most beautiful scenery and countryside.
Ian Baillie, Stena Line Marketing Manager believes that the short trip across the Irish Sea is an ideal way of entertaining the kids this autumn.
“Your break really does begin as soon as you step onboard one of our Superfast ferries,” said Ian.
“Parents can relax in our onboard spa, teenagers can take advantage of our iPads and games systems and for younger children, Curious George will ensure that everyone is entertained!
“Add in onboard shopping and fantastic food from our new Kevin Woodford menu and you will be fully relaxed and ready to enjoy all that Glasgow has to offer,” he added.
