The website indicates it is open for visitors. We checked the website for opening dates/times and arrived at 1300 to be told the lift in the crane is out of order (and has been for some time) therefore no visitors were permitted. Suggest you ring before visiting to avoid wasting time. No date was available for when the lift would be back in service.

Great way to spend an afternoon.
Went primarily for two things.
1. Charles Rennie Mackintosh exhibition, this was very good.
2. Crucifixion of Christ. This was on lone. Disappointing :-(
Nice café with great table service.
Good fun free day out. The CRM exhibition was £7 entry but that is a small price to pay for a great museum/gallery that is all free.
Highly recommend.
4. Paisley Abbey
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 393 reviews
Reviewed By macedonboy - Glasgow, United Kingdom
This outstanding example of a gothic building is Paisley Abbey, formerly a Cluniac Monastery and now a Scottish Church. This grand old building dates from the 12th century by the first High Steward of Scotland, Walter FitzAlan.
There's some amazing stained glass windows throughout the church as befits such a grand building. Best of all, the abbey is the burial place of Scottish Queens and King Robert III. Absolutely worth a day trip from Glasgow to Paisley just to see this church.
There's an audio guide available. It's cheap by any standard and worth getting getting for the history and stories. The church also has a little cafe and tea/coffee and cakes are very reasonably priced.

My wife and I regularly take our grandchildren to Pandamonium in Erskine. The centre has different play areas; slides, trampoline, bumpy castle, dodgem cars and an enclosure for toddlers. At midday staff dressed in Disney characters sing and dance with children, and some mums also join in.
The Centre also has a café that provides varied Menu for adults and children. The entry fee is keenly priced and so is the items in the Menu. The Centre also caters for birthday parties for children. The Centre has a large car park that is free.
6. Mugdock Country Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 237 reviews
Reviewed By Alastair N - Aberdeen, United Kingdom
This is an extensive park which is easily accessible from Glasgow and allows you to walk as far or as little as you like. There are five car parks dotted around the outskirts with the visitor centre being the main one. There are free leaflets with an easy map of the main paths and numbered attractions. There are two Castles, but Craigend Castle is fenced off because it looks like it is crumbling and would be dangerous, while Mugdock Castle, on the day we were there, was also inaccessible because it was being used by a film crew. In fact there was quite a big area cordoned off with security staff preventing people from getting near, but on a rise in the distance we could see men in kilts and on horseback as they filmed a scene for something about Robert the Bruce I believe. We still managed to walk around for 90 minutes and could have done more. The paths are clear but fairly muddy, so if it has been at all wet you should wear good boots and trousers that you are willing to get spattered with mud. It's a great place for meeting dogs, there are children's play areas and a good shop and restaurant.

I booked what is called a "Taster Session" where you spend just an hour with different birds. And what an amazing hour that was. Graeme is full of knowledge about the birds, and he was sharing it with us during that hour. Besides getting the information about each bird, we also had a hands-on experience handling them, and that was totally amazing. Too bad we had only an hour in our schedule that we could allocate for this experience. I think if you can book a day or half-day, you will not be disappointed.

My girlfriend and I went ice climbing for my birthday. It was our first time ice climbing but we had a great time and seemed to pick it up pretty quickly. The specialist equipment was all provided (crampons, axes, helmets, harnesses etc). All you need is suitable (preferably waterproof) outdoor clothing.
Our instructor, Kate, was really friendly and helpful and made an effort to make us feel comfortable. I would highly recommend it for a great day out.

The church is currently open to the public on Fridays from 2-4PM and is well worth a visit -absolutely stunning . We were so fortunate to get chatting to a gentleman connected with the church who ended up giving as a personal conducted tour - wonderful -gained so much information -could have listened to him all day !
The stained glass windows are beautiful and the detail in the carved wood is exquisite -truly a work of art everywhere you look .
Volunteers from the church community are available to answer any questions you may have ...or if you get lucky as we did will show you round .
There is no charge for entry ...Highly recommend a visit .
