There's loads to do in Manchester, both during the day and the evening.
The city is vibrant and has lots of galleries, musuems, parks and venues
for things to do. There's also plenty of nice places to eat and it's
well known for its China town district in the centre which is high on
the list for people who love chinese food!
If you've got kids there's loads of amazing places to visit - some
of the best museums in the country are based in Manchester. My favourite
is the Manchester Science and Industry Museum in Castlefield.
This is a huge museum with lots of buildings full of history to explore.
Entry is free for all but the special exhibition which changes every
so many months. The musuem can get really busy during school holidays
though - but there's plenty to do. There's an amazing engine room with
massive machinery in which also houses some beautiful trains. In the
former station building there's exhibitions made with local people in
mind - there's dyes and soaps, cameras and many other things. The building
is beautiful too - and was actually a station many years ago.
There is a train which runs around the small track - you can have a
ride on the carriages of the steam train!
In another hall there's a textiles and cotton display which shows you
the cotton machinery that dominated the North West's mills.
There's also a massive hall with aeroplanes in which is just quite amazing
to walk round.
A hands on exhibition of puzzles and experiments is inside the main
building and is well worth a look around - it'll take you a while to
solve all the wooden puzzles and the other activities including turning
a handle to lift a real mini will amaze the kids! There are lots of
things here to keep the kids occupied and intrigued with solar panels
to aim mirrors at, optical experiements, sound games and mirror tricks.
Also look out of the window here and you can see Coronation Street -
the set is next door at Granada TV!
