Cheap things to do with the kids in Glasgow this weekend

Here are some affordable things to do with the kids in Glasgow this weekend.

Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum

A list looking at cheap things to do in Glasgow would be incomplete without mentioning the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.

Featuring various works of art and exhibits covering everything from Glasgow's role in the British Empire to Ancient Egypt, the museum is notable for its many interactive features aimed at children.

Go to the cinema 

A trip to the cinema is a great way to keep the kids occupied for a couple of hours with plenty of family-friendly movies such as Despicable Me 4 screening at Cineworld.

If you're looking to make some serious savings, making use of the Family Pass is a must. Those with the pass can get over 30% off tickets and snacks.

The Tenement House

Step back in time with a visit to The Tenement House where you and the whole family can learn more about life in Glasgow in the early 20th century.

Featuring items and details that would have been everyday essentials over a hundred years ago, the museum also hosts events, giving visitors a sneak peek into some of the flat's hidden treasures.

Entry to the house is just £1 for Young Scot Card holders.

Enjoy a meal out

Family Pass also offers up to 25% off selected restaurants across the country, making it ideal for those looking to make big savings while feeding the family.

Participating restaurants include the Mexican food eatery Barburrito and family-friendly pub chain Sizzling.
