Lovely museum (especially if you are into tractors etc!) the old machinery is really interesting to read about and see!! The park is brilliant. Lots to do and nice benches to sit in. The shop is lovely. We attended for the woolly weekend, the kids were thrilled. The petting zoo was wonderful and the staff were amazing. We’ve taken the tractor up to the working farm before and that was fun. You have to book this when you go in on the weekend as it’s busy. Admission price gets you an annual pass 🤩will be back soon I’m sure !!

Went with my 2 year old grandson. When we arrived it was raining so we had a look round inside of museum. Once we did this we played in the park until it was time for our tractor ride (which he loved) up to the farm. He enjoyed seeing the animals and was really taken with the grandfather clock inside the farmhouse. He really enjoyed his visit and tbh would have happily spent the day riding up and down on the tractor!! We have bought the annual pass so we can go again.

A great day out for adults, children etc. loads to see in the museum and farm is a 5 minute tractor ride or 20 minute walk, maybe more animals would be nice. Ticket lasts a year so return visits are possible.

Not been here for some time and the place has be refurbished since the last time I visited many years ago. The building is of course magnificent. I came here not for the sports but the museum collections. Housed in the Kelvin Hall is a collection resulting from a partnership between the National Library of Scotland and other Glasgow museums. Kelvin Hall now provides a shared collections storage facility with public access called the Kevin Hall Open Collection. So now housed in this one building are the National Library's digital and moving image collections, collections from the Hunterian and other Glasgow Museums. Nice place to to spend an afternoon of eclectic museum collections

We took our son as he is fascinated with tractors and animals at the moment. He loved being on the tractor trailer going up to the farm. But when you get there it's a struggle to fill the half hour before getting the tractor back down. Maybe if it was really busy it would have taken longer to see everything. But it was quiet and we went round it all in 20mins even with our son walking most of it. The main building is really interesting but again not a great deal to see. We would have spent longer in the park area, but unfortunately it started raining. The cafe is quite good with a good selection of things. The toilets are also good with good facilities for changing children. I would bring my son back. But many in a few years.

A grand day out with the grand kids. A lovely place right on our door step, and a place we will return to. The staff at the museum and the farm were just great. Take a picnic and make the most of the good weather and idyllic setting. There are picnic tables in the children's park and a lovely spot on the way up to the farm. Great day out for everyone.

10 pound for year long access gives this welcoming, interesting and thoroughly enjoyable museum the 5 stars. Haven't tried the cafe yet tho!

I visited this place on Friday and it was not too crowded, only some visitors at the museum. Good for kids to learn about farm. I visited the barn too, it is 15 min walk from the museum and I could see horses, pig, cute calves, coos, hen and sheeps. Easily accessible by public transport which run every 15 mins.

Great place to visit when looking for a quiet day away from the city. Lots of walking space, lots of greenery and farm animals. Perfect for a picnic!

An absolutely incredible museum of what basically built Scotland. From the earliest farming methods to the most recent, the collection is wonderful. But being attached to a working farm, with horses, cattle, sheep and pigs - it is incredible. We saw recently calved cows and piglets - it was an amazing place. A must see, if you have kids.

The museum and farm were wonderful. Our farm animal obsessed toddler was over the moon with our morning. We started off through the museum having wondering through the one way system. There were lots of big tractors and animals in pictures. We moved on quickly for a walk up the to the farm. We were informed that the tractor was not running at the moment but we had excellent weather so this was fine. We stumbled across pigs, cows and sheep before reaching the farm where we saw piglets, lambs, hens and a couple of horses and Highland cattle. The farm was lovely and by the time we started walking home, I had a toddler asleep in my arms. The picnic area was open but the playground was not as they were resurfacing. The cafe was open with a green circle on the outside window if there was and a red circle if they were full. We didn't use the café. We now have an annual membership so we will be back.

First visit to the museum and farm. Great for seeing how a working farm runs. Very educational for the kids. Large picnic area next to the kids play Park. Didn't have time to visit the cafe but will definitely try it at my next visit. Price is great, especially for the yearly pass which we got a good deal on. The museum part was great for all ages too. Can't wait to go back!

Really nice day out. Museum itself is nice and has interesting items but honestly not a lot to see compared to other museum. I loved seeing the animals outside and went to the farm and saw lots of other animals and also a live demonstration of sheep shearing. Overall worth a visit.

The Kelvin Halls Open Collection is an incredible combined open-access research and storage facility made possible through the partnership of Glasgow Museums, Glasgow University Hunterian Museum and the National Library of Scotland. Housed in the lovingly refurbished Kelvin Hall, visitors are able to view the items from the Glasgow Museums' Collection and the Hunterian Collection which are not on display in the respective museums. The facility is also home to the National Library of Scotland's Digital Collections which include the entire Moving Image Archive and access to all digitised resource materials such as newspapers and maps, etc. The Open Collections has good disabled access and a pretty decent cafe with views over the River Kelvin. A befitting inheritor to the much loved Transport Museum which used to be housed there (now re-branded as the Riverside Museum at its new home downstream the Kelvin where it meets the Clyde)! 5*****

A wonderful wee museum and farm staffed by the most friendly helpful employees you could ever meet. Easy to find and fascinating to visit. A lovely way to find out about Scotlands rural and agricultural history. Also ... go sponsor a bee !

Lovely modernisation

Nice art, free, some variety. I like the fact it's in a gym place

(Translated by Google) Great sports and cultural center. Visit of the exhibition on Trix, Europe's largest T-Rex, superbly preserved. Beyond the skeleton itself which fascinates, attractions all around, very fun and very interesting explanations. A great time with family. (Original) Super centre sportif et culturel. Visite de l'exposition sur Trix, le plus grand T-Rex d'Europe, superbement conservé. Au-delà du squelette lui-même qui fascine, des attractions tout autour, très ludiques et explications très intéressantes. Un excellent moment en famille.

Cool place

We visited the Museum this past weekend with the family and it was superb. Plenty for the grand children to see, especially the tractor ride. They have lots of out door space which is a bonus with picnic benches and a play park. We had lunch in the Cafe which was a delight. Lots of choice on the menu, especially the children’s options for fussy eaters! My husband is celiac and this was catered for precisely which we don’t find often. Great to see using locally brewed Coffee & Tea. All in all, a great day out.

Amazing staffs and costumer service. We enjoy the visit very much. The farm animals are amazing and the main museum building is beautiful. Location-wise: a bit far from city centre and not easy to go without a car.

Amazing day out, all of the staff were friendly, approachable, and accommodating. The site was spotless, and the staff obviously take very good care of the property as I saw one staff member rush to pick up some dropped tangerine at the bus stop which was half hidden in dirt as soon as she saw it!

Loved it. I have a 2yr old so it kept him busy in the morning. By time we walked upto the farm and tracker back we unfortunately didn't get to see the rest but that's why I'm happy for the yearly ticket so we can just go again and again ☺️

Such a great day for our nearly 2 yr old. She loved stroking the lambs, seeing the cows get milked and sitting on the tractor in the play park. Great selection of food for wee ones and adults in the cafe too. Great day out and lovely building too!

Quite a nice place, the museum is great with lots of old tractors and farming stuff and even a part of a water mill. But the tractor ride to the farm was the high point for my daughter. In the farm there were lots of animals including baby sheep and cows. And the old farmhouse is lovely. Great place to go again.

(Translated by Google) Very good (Original) Muy bueno

I really enjoyed my day. A lot of displays were of things I remember from my childhood. Good stuff.

T-Rex. Stunning.

nice but too expensive Trex exhibition, rest of the collection needs a thourough rethinking and upgrade, as it is not clear what it has on offer. Friendly staff.

Really interesting agricultural exhibits. Great cafe and friendly staff

Great day for the family

A good day out

Probably the only chance to see what was billed as the most complete 67 million year old t rex skeleton in the world, there was lots of interactive exhibits which my daughter enjoyed and there was lots of information about t rex 🦖, the entry fee was really steep, I paid £22 for me and my 6 year old daughter, £14 for an adult and £8 for a child, there was no free parking either

Beautiful artwork. Worth checking out.

Had a lovely visit today with pupils from an ASN school. The staff were helpful and friendly throughout the whole museum and farm. The pupils enjoyed the tractor trailer ride to the farm. It was great to get close to pigs, piglets, cows and calves snd tour the farmhouse. We were given a room with tables for our snack and lunch time which was clean and tidy, this is fantastic for our pupils.

Had a lovely day out with my sister, learnt lots and had good fun! It would have helped it the staff and volunteers had an understanding of the Sunflower Lanyard Scheme to help accommodate for all visitors appropriately

Really enjoyed our visit, very interesting. Enjoyed seeing the working farm along with the animals. It brought back happy memories of my father working on agricultural machinery. Enjoyed a coffee with homemade scones in the cafe.

Visited today and loved it even in the rain. Super friendly staff. Fascinating exhibits and the animals are still the stars.

Excellent day out. Took our grandsons, both of who hairdo have their faces stuck in a phone screen... They had a ball! The staff were bellflower and friendly and special mention to the volunteer guide in the farm house. All in excellent Facilities, displays, staff, great day out

Great museum with a working farm attached that is a small tractor ride away. There's a lot of information and things to see and the staff are very friendly and helpful. There's a large carpark with plenty of space and accessibility all around the site. There's a small shop & cafe which is great and some interactive treasure hunting for kids with an outdoor play area as well. The working farm has a museum farm house and areas to see the working farm in action with animal about too.

Like many people to my shame I did not realise this fantastic museum existed. The museum is well presented the staff are very polite helpful and eagerly awaiting to pass on their knowledge to you. The farm house is a beautiful time capsule but strangely feels very inviting. The staff in attendance here dare you to test their knowledge and are so interactive to the visitor. Heading back to the museum and the restaurant, the staff are very pleasant and can present a fantastic sandwich 🥪 😀. I recommend all ages to visit this museum for a great experience in rural life of that time.

A great day out in East Kilbride lots to discover about early farming nice playback for the kids farm animals to pet and once you pay initially you can return as often as you want highly recommended

What a smashing place. Lots for kids to see. A play park. And really educational info on how farming developed. And a nice cafe too.

Absolutely brilliant. Very friendly staff and good for the whole family

We have just returned from a great visit to the museum & farm. Our grandaughters had a whale of a time. Reception staff are lovely as well as the cafe staff. Only negative, the tea brand in the cafe is not so good. The tractor wasnt in action today, but even the walk to the farm & back was an adventure.Keep up the good work, its such a fabulous place for all the family. Thank you.

Great place to visit

Great escape for the kids and a good place to learn all about farming throughout history. Great play Park and tractor ride to a working farm that you have full access to see all the workings and

Good restaurant too.

Great place to take the kids and learn all about farming

A great afternoon out at the farm. Took a ride on dougal the shoogle u to the farm. Good bit and bobs inside museum for kids including dressing up stuff my 2 fours year olds loved it as well as their cousins who are 9 13 and 19.

Good day out for kids, not to keen on lady receptionist been couple times infomative but a bit strict.

Excellent in every way. Pleasant friendly staff. Very informative. Explaining everything about the farm. The museum is interesting and plenty of exhibits. Decent cafe and prices. We went on a bad weather day. There is a tractor bus that takes you round. Farm house warm. Footpath for sunny day. Great for kids and adults alike. Thank you!

Great displays for young and old alike, also a lovely wee cafe. Prices very reasonable.

Love this place, great museum and the working farm is a great place to visit

The farm house is a time warp and very nostalgic. The museum itself is extensive and the whole package good value for money. Will return as we ran out of time.

Great family days out

Visiting with family during the week when your kids' school has an inservice day is a great idea! Felt like we had the whole place to explore. Excellent space, great experience, insightful displays, helpful staff throughout.

Great place for a day out with the kids, shows how we used to put food on the table and the way the farmers lived in the past. The cafe is a great place to have a snack \ coffee.

Great all rounder for people young and old. Well managed by helpful staff and volunteers.

Excellent museum and farm. Really interesting and lots of information. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend it for a great family day out.

Brilliant place, staff were so pleasent. Really reasonably priced and can go back for free for the next year. There's a small park with a tractor on outside museum where you get the tractor ride up to farm. You can pet some of the animals. Walk back down from the farm as there are horses, Highland cows ect to be seen. Enjoy..... We did ?

Excellent facility in great grounds. The museum is interesting and full of farm machinery and tools from throughout the years. Special events are fantastic and great for kids. There is an outdoor park and the tractor ride up to the working farm is fun (and bumpy). You can see pigs, horses, cows and so on. Old farm house is good for the kids also.

Excellent place to spend three or four hours. The history of farming is contained in this excellent museum. There is the museum building, Jam packed full interesting objects, then there's the farm buildings and house a ten minute or free tractor ride away, bequeathed to the national trust all in rich farmland. Plenty of puzzles for the old and young to try out and an excellent Cafe and gift shop. Prices recently changed now a great bargain. I come here often.

Excelent place to spend about 2 or 3 hrs with kids. Can see animals farm and ride a tractor!

A good place to visit but I suggest wearimg wellies as can be muddy, lots to see in the museum and at £8 entry for adults that gets you admission for a whole year!! The free tractor ride upto the farm was brilliant and my kids loved it, sadly no pictures of the great farm as my phone battery died. Toilets and cafe area and wheelchair access all here.

Amazing family day out. Great value

Kids love it.

Fun for kids

Great place to visit, nice cafe, great tractor ride up to the farm

brilliant exhibits of old rural farming techniques and machinery....nice bar & eating area...child friendly space ...very educational.

Nice cafe.

Had a fabulous afternoon here.. it was cold and a bit quiet so we got a personal tour from one of the guides...

Nice place to spend the day with your family. There are some attractions for kids as well and farm animals they can see. Prepare yourself for a muddy walk through x

Very nice cafe. They serve good food, good value for money, and it has a good vibe.

Great day out for the kids, and those bigger kids. Tractors !!!!

Cool little museum if you're interested in the old ways of farming and life in general

Great day out, lots to see and do with the family. Nice cafe with great coffee and cake

Fabulous place for all ages

Great place to take the kids for their Christmas event. So much to do the kids will not get bored. Lots of great stalls for parents to find the perfect gifts.

(Translated by Google) A good place to spend 2 hours away from home (Original) Dobre miejsce na spędzenie 2h poza domem

Great day out.The ride on the tractor to the farm is the best bit oh take boots or good shoes as it's s working farm ?

Fascinating visit.

Lovely soup and home made cake, the scones are huge. They also have a lovely shop.

It was a horrible wet day and we still had fun, even the farm had something in the rain and a warm farmhouse to hide in.

Great for kids

The shoogily tractor ride to farm is not to be missed... great fun for all the family!
