Victorian glasshouse
Kibble Palace
Why locals love it
Glasgow's Botanic Gardens are located in the heart of the West End and they are ever popular among locals, come rain or shine. Kibble Palace is particularly favoured by young families with children who enjoy playing hide and seek behind plants and running around the indoor pond.
Why you should visit it
Named after its benefactor, Kibble Palace is an impressive Victorian era glasshouse originally built for the wealthy merchant's private mansion and later relocated to the Botanics. The building itself is worth the visit, but you will also find there over 120 year old ferns accompanied by pretty marble statues.
Special tip
Did I mention it is completely free of charge to visit?
