 Eight lanes available |
King's Inch Road Glasgow, Renfrewshire G51 - 4BT United Kingdom +44 141 885 4611 http://www.braehead.co.uk/curl... |
Situated within Braehead Shopping and Leisure Centre, this is one of the country's top venues for curling. An impressive arena with seating for 4,000, the rink is open from September-April and offers eight lanes, which are accessible to the public provided the sheet is booked in advance and all players have some experience at the sport. The venue is home to about 60 different curling clubs so competition for lanes may be fierce. They offer corporate packages for groups which include tuition with hire of brushes and stones thrown in, and there is a range of options for those wishing to take lessons. You should wear warm clothing and a clean pair of trainers. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Urban dry ski slope and club |
16 Drumbreck Road Glasgow G41 5BW United Kingdom +44 141 427 4991 |
This is one of the few dry slopes in the country to be in the middle of a city. The floodlit slope is available to both members and non-members, and the centre offers instruction in either private or group classes for any level, plus equipment hire and repair. They also organise trips to Scottish resorts with real snow. There are special events run for children in the school holidays and a clubhouse bar for the adults to relax in. Members have free access to the slope and new members get free instruction. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Swashbucklers of the ice |
Mill Street (Lagoon Leisure Centre) Glasgow PA1 1La United Kingdom +44 141 889 7373 http://www.paisleypirates.net/ |
Ice hockey is still very much a minority sport in the United Kingdom, but those that do follow the game in Britain are fanatical. For visitors to Glasgow who are keen to take in a match, the Paisley Pirates offer the closest venue. Their swashbuckling black, white and red uniforms match the club's devilish image, and they are one of the top clubs in the British National League. The season runs from September to March and the matches are played on Saturdays, Sundays and occasional Tuesdays. Check the website for a complete fixture list and ticket prices.

 Ice, water and lots of fun |
100 Buchanan Street Coatbridge Glasgow ML5 1DL United Kingdom +44 123 644 9572 |
Witness an erupting volcano or rocket launches, swim through tropical storms or dodge a water-spraying serpent at this fun pool and leisure center. The ice skating rink is subject to snowstorms which makes staying upright even more of a battle. The Adventure Zone is suitable for kids aged 5-11 and also includes temptations like Biff Bash Canyon and the Tango Giant Slide. Parents who need a break can make use of the four cafe-bars and fully equipped gym, or treat themselves to a Tropicana Sunbed in the Health Suite. There's an ice disco for teenagers on Friday and Saturday evenings. Review © 2007, Wcities |
