Planning a weekend in Glasgow with kids can be a lot easier when you choose accommodation that gives you space, comfort and a central base. At PREMIER SUITES Glasgow Bath Street, families can enjoy the freedom of apartment living while staying close to some of the city’s best museums, parks, restaurants and family attractions.

Glasgow is a great city for a family break because there is plenty to do without making the weekend feel too packed. You can spend the morning exploring a museum, take a break back at your apartment, then head out again for dinner or a walk through the city. That flexibility makes a big difference when you are travelling with children.

Stay in the City Centre at PREMIER SUITES Glasgow Bath Street

PREMIER SUITES Glasgow Bath Street gives families a practical base in the city centre. Instead of trying to manage everyone in one hotel room, you have more space to relax, eat, unpack and settle in.

The serviced apartments are ideal for families who want a little more independence during their stay. You can start the morning at your own pace, make breakfast before heading out, and come back during the day if younger kids need a rest.

For families, the biggest benefits include:

• More space than a standard hotel room
• A central location on Bath Street
• Comfortable living areas for relaxing together
• Kitchen facilities for snacks, breakfasts and easy meals
• A home from home feel during your stay

When you are visiting Glasgow with kids, location matters. Staying on Bath Street means you are close to shops, cafés, transport links and many of the city’s main attractions. It makes planning your weekend simpler, especially if the weather changes or your plans need to shift.

Start With Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum

Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is one of Glasgow’s best family attractions and a great place to start your weekend. It is one of Scotland’s most popular free attractions and has been welcoming visitors since 1901.

Families can explore everything from art and history to natural world displays. It is a good option for children because there is plenty to look at without needing a strict route. You can wander through the galleries, stop when something catches their attention, and take your time.

Kelvingrove also works well if you are visiting Glasgow on a budget. Free attractions are always useful for family trips, especially when you are trying to keep costs under control without cutting back on things to do.

After visiting the museum, you can spend some time around Kelvingrove Park or head towards the West End for food, coffee or a slower afternoon.

Visit Riverside Museum

Riverside Museum is another strong choice for a weekend in Glasgow with kids. It offers interactive displays and hands on activities, making it suitable for visitors of all ages.

The museum focuses on transport, technology and Glasgow’s industrial heritage. Children can see cars, trams, bikes and other transport displays, while adults can enjoy the design and history behind the collection.

Riverside Museum is especially useful if you need an indoor activity. Glasgow weather can be unpredictable, so having a few indoor options planned is always a smart move. You can pair a visit here with a walk by the River Clyde or a trip to nearby family attractions, depending on how much energy everyone has.

Spend Time at Glasgow Science Centre

Glasgow Science Centre is a fun option for families who want something interactive. It has exhibitions and activities designed to get children thinking, playing and asking questions.

This is a good choice for families with curious kids who enjoy pressing buttons, testing things out and learning through play. It can also be a good rainy day option if you want to keep everyone entertained indoors for a few hours.

Because it is a popular family attraction, it is a good idea to book ahead, especially during weekends and school holidays.

Take a Break at the Glasgow Botanic Gardens

For a slower part of your weekend, Glasgow Botanic Gardens is a lovely option. The gardens are home to large plant collections, glasshouses and walking routes.

This is a good place to let children stretch their legs without needing to spend money. It works well as part of a West End day out. You could visit the Botanic Gardens in the morning, grab lunch nearby, then head back towards the city centre when everyone is ready for a rest.

Explore The Burrell Collection

The Burrell Collection is another family friendly museum worth adding to your Glasgow weekend. It is located in Pollok Country Park, which gives families a nice mix of indoor and outdoor time.

You can explore the collection, then spend time in the park afterwards. This can be a good choice if you want a more relaxed day away from the busiest parts of the city centre.

The Burrell Collection is a good option for families who want culture, space and a change of pace. It also works well if you want something educational without making the day feel too formal.
