Manchester Museum

In the heart of Manchester University-land so numerous car parks within easy walking distance. Another fine example of British Victorian architecture. Great range of exhibits and well worth a three hour wander on a rainy Sunday. Brought back memories of school trips in the 1970s. Going back soon to see the dinosaurs... Excellent!

I was blown away at the amount of Egypt artifacts they had! Tons of animal displays, coins through out the years, and displays from many cultures. Highly recommend especially if you have children over age 9. This place has free admission and an affordable gift shop. Plan on spending at least 2 hours here.

Wonderful place, kids loved it. Free entry, reasonable gift shop prices. Didn't check if there was a canteen. I highly recommend this place. The dinosaur exhibit was good but there was lots more alongside it, even interactive stands where my children got to hold coins from the empire of Alexander the Great!

Had a very interesting day, there was so much to see and learn that another visit is needed, particularly a day when there is not a vast amount of very small toddlers running around screaming! It felt as though it was a kindergarten at times and I was going around a nursery. On a lighter note, the older children certainly enjoyed it. Looking forward to going again.

Parking is non existent and the museum is poorly signposted. Make sure your sat navigation is up to date as the museum is surrounded by restricred access roads. So pleased we did not take our wheelchair bound daughter. The museum is excellent with fascinating exhibits. Not suitable for very young kids. The amount of bored screaming kids was testimony to this.
