Museum of Science and Industry

Really nice, big museum with lots of things for everyone. Didn't try the restaurants, but there are a couple to choose from and a picnic area for you to bring your own food. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and best of all it's free (but a donation of a few pounds is suggested). Well worth a visit.

I appreciated Manchester after I visited the Museum & The Museum of Science & Industry. At first I thought "oh it's just a big city" but it's actually rich in modern history, industrial revolution & technological contributions. I like that the museum has shows for kids...entertainment & learning. The exhibits are well preserved and the written captions are very specific, simple & understandable. The staff are very friendly and accommodating.

Really child friendly, well maintained exposition, entertaining and insightful demonstrations, many interactive features... This museum is well worth the visit. The only reason I am not rating it with five stars is because I didn't got to see the whole place and some of the interactive "stands" could use some fixes here and there - just small details honestly. My sister and I visited it by chance since it wasn't in our plans, and we could not have felt more grateful after spending a whole morning there. Lots to see, lots to learn!

This is a great museum, especially for younger people. It would make for a fun day out for a family. The museum usually takes around 3/4 hours to get around depending how long you spend in each area and if you wait for any shows or performances. You can ride on a steam train, learn about cotton production and see various old trains, aeroplanes and other vehicles from the past. The most appealing part of this museum is the interactive floor that makes this museum especially fun for children. The museum also offers a cafe and gift shop with gifts for children as well as adults.

Visited The MSI with my family and we had a great time. Something for everyone. It was very interesting and the staff were very friendly and helpful particularly with the children. Excellent cafe area. Would definitely visit again with other friends and family.
