Escape Glasgow

Escape is a fun, challenging game in Glasgow City Centre. Designed for groups of 2 - 5 or 6. With 4 rooms in operation we can accommodate teams of up to 22. We lock you up in a mysterious room, and give you exactly 60 minutes to get out. In order to escape you and your team must identify clues, solve logic puzzles and break codes. Do you have what it takes to Escape?

We went with another family and did the Wizard challenge where you make up two teams, go in identical rooms and see who can get out first. Staff welcoming and attentive, escape room was fun, with just the right amount of help when needed. Great experience.

Finnieston Crane

A short hop out from the city centre, near the SSE arena is one of Glasgow’s iconic landmarks, well worth a walk. That whole area is near the science centre, Radisson Red hotel roof bar, definitely a great place to take in the great view. The walk along the Clyde back into town is great, as well as the walk further along to the transport museum.

Highlandman's Umbrella

Reviewed By Scottish-Hidden-Gems - Irvine, United Kingdom

This is a very important place in Glasgow, as after the clearances in the highlands thousands of people fled to glasgow to find work, this was the meeting place they would arrange to meet up to gossip and find jobs and shelter from the rain! There is lots of history under here in some of the restaurants and shops but you will have to look hard for it, as there is meant to be a banksy painting in one the restaurants. There is not really any visible information that I could see maybe should have a plaque or something to help tourists understand why it's so important.
