Riverside Museum – the Scottish museum of transport

This replaces the old museum of transport, familiar to many, opposite Kelvingrove Art Gallery. This is a great and fun family day out and still retains its lively and informal atmosphere with children charging about screaming as before. The recreated old street is a must see, now two storeys high with a range of old shops and the subway to venture into. plus theres all the trains, cars and bikes anyone could want.
Compared to the old, the new venue is much bigger and for those with access needs, better. There is a comprehensive guide on disabled go but in short  this building has been designed with wheelchair users in mind: there is a level access throughout, disabled toilets, lifts, room to manoeuvre and platform lifts to elevated exhibits.
The only criticism might be that ironically public transport to the museum can be difficult but there are disabled parking spaces and a drop-off point for disabled visitors
