Museum of Science & Industry in Manchester

The Museum of Science & Industry is a great place to go if you want to keep the kids amused, but without paying ludicrous prices.

This is truly a hands on section of the exhibition, the kids loved it. Entry fee is great,only £5.00 for adults and the kids go free. Plenty of car parking space but this will cost you and extra £1.50 To find the museum travel down Deansgate in the city centre and ...
