A free and much more interesting museum than we originally expected. The exhibits and information were very specific to Manchester so it felt quite unique and definitely made us appreciate the character of the city more. There was also a great presentation on some of the old industrial textile equipment. The museum is also not too big which made it quite manageable and very comfortable to visit. Staff were all friendly and left us feeling very happy that we visited.
A well organised museum charting the history of industrialisation in and around Manchester. Lots of interactive and interesting information and very much geared towards families with children. There’s a small section off the main hall on Stephen Hawkings which was fascinating! Upstairs on the first floor is full of children’s activities. Then across the square is the building that houses the steam engines! There was a very enthusiastic chap that explained the Pender engine and got the audience involved. And had a surprised brass band playing too! It’s free to enter, and they encourage you to make a donation!
The Manchester Science and Industry Museum is an absolutely fantastic place to visit, especially for families with children. One of the best parts is that entry is completely free, which makes it even more amazing considering how much there is to see and do inside.nnThe museum is both educational and entertaining, offering a wide variety of interactive exhibits that stimulate children’s curiosity and creativity. There are hands-on activities designed to develop motor skills, logical thinking, and problem-solving abilities — perfect for kids who love to explore and learn by doing.nnYou can find fascinating displays about the Industrial Revolution, machines, technology, and even silk production, all presented in a way that’s engaging and easy to understand. The museum does a great job of connecting Manchester’s rich industrial history with modern scientific innovation.nnIt’s also a great place for adults — the exhibits are well-organized, informative, and full of historical details about how Manchester played a key role in shaping the world of science and industry.nnOverall, it’s an inspiring, educational, and fun museum that truly captures the spirit of discovery. I highly recommend visiting, especially if you’re traveling with children or simply love science, technology, and history.
I only spent about 30 minutes here, and to me it felt much more geared towards families and kids rather than adults. If I had visited with a child, I’m sure I would have stayed longer and found it more engaging. On my own, I just walked through quite quickly. Definitely a good recommendation for families with children, especially on a rainy day. For adults, I think the experience is more limited. The best part: it’s free to visit.
Free entry, with recommended donation of £5. Currently undergoing a big refurbish only a small part of the exhibits are currently on display. They had a good section on weaving, and a nice memorial for Stephen Hawkins. Upstairs is a hands-on science exhibit which was fun for the kids. When we visited they had a retro gaming interactive exhibit, which was an extra charge but great fun playing some older games and seeing old consoles. Worth popping in if you are nearby visiting crystal maze live for example, but don’t expect to spend more than a couple of hours in its current limited capacity.
