January 2025It is a wonderful place to spend a few hours wandering about. A great insight into history, with an exhibition of vehicles including bikes, motorcycles, cars, trams, and steam engines. Recent addition of a carriage from Glasgow subway. Lots of signage to explain each exhibit. On-site cafe. Probably, best of all is the free entry to this must-see museum. Parking is available, but it is also easily accessible using public transport with Partick underground and train station nearby.

March 2025It's really interesting and fascinating to see everything they have got in this museum. Being free is definitely a huge advantage and great if you ever want to come multiple times. Right now, there are a couple star wars exhibits that may be temporary. Only downside is the museum is slightly chaotic they should try to regroup everything a little better.

March 2025Free. Wonderful place to visit for all ages. Loads of different types of transport. Well set out. With a gift shop. Has a cafe but didn't try it. Places to sit and eat your own pack lunch too.

March 2025The Riverside Museum in Glasgow is a striking architectural marvel, designed by Zaha Hadid, that showcases the city’s rich maritime history and transportation heritage. Opened in 2011, it features over 3,000 objects, including vintage cars, ships, and bicycles, providing an engaging experience for visitors of all ages. The interactive exhibits and immersive displays make learning about Glasgow’s history both fun and educational. Situated on the banks of the River Clyde, the museum also offers beautiful views and easy access to the nearby Tall Ship. Overall, it’s a must-visit for history buffs and families alike.
