Iron Bru fun fair indoors with big wheel, bumper cars, and other arcade stalls

IRN-BRU The Carnival, Glasgow

Set your lungs on fire with 10 scream-tastic thrills rides like Speed Buzz and Viva Mexico. Check out fun fair classics like The Big Wheel and the Cup & Saucers. If you’ve got some toddlers, or should we say daredevils-in-the-making, then you can pick from lots of great rides like monster trucks and the mini wheel.

Rides are cool but what about stalls? Win a teddy for your partner on the Coconut Shy or go against your mini Ronaldo on the Penalty Shoot Out activity. Peek into the future at the Fortune Teller Booth or plunge your coppers into the penny falls machines in the arcade. There are lots of other amusements on site that you may never have heard of before… Ever tried a game of inflatable Football Darts? What about the Milk Churn Game?

There are also autism-friendly sessions running from 12am-3pm on Friday 23rd December, and from 4.00pm-9.00pm on Tuesday 10th January. In these sessions, the main hall lights will be turned on, music will be turned off or very low and the rides will be slower where possible (although the ride lights will still be on). The aim is make those with autism feel more comfortable and at ease with their surroundings while still having as much fun as possible!

All that milk-churning and giggling can really take it out of you. Refuel on traditional funfair snacks from candy floss and hot dogs to hearty burgers and chips.

Some rides are cash operated and others require ride tokens. All entry tickets include 10 vouchers per person which can be used on rides, most stalls and inflatable play. Additional vouchers can be purchased in the hall at £2 each or 5 for £6.
