SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY MUSEUM REVIEWS
We had loads of fun when we visited! And best of all this place is free of charge, (we did book a ticket online though) There was a Poo exhibition that we paid a little more for, we didn't mind so much as everything else was free. The museum is going through some restoration at the moment though so some of the parts are closed like the building opposite which has a few machines in. If you go with your kids don't miss out on the interactive room upstairs!
Really friendly welcome and definitely making a donation to support the running of this wonderful and diverse museum. Full of fascinating information and so many interactive exhibits to keep children (and adults) amused and entertained.
A great little museum with interesting stories and objects. Free to enter. You’ll learn a lot about the industrial history of Manchester, which is such an important story about the city! Also seems to be great place for kids to explore, a lot of interactive elements.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL MUSEUM REVIEWS
Went on a fact finding mission for our development of the Welsh football museum. Very good introduction tour from a very knowledgeable guide and it was a great introduction to the galleries. Some very good and interesting exhibitions tendency to concentrate on England and events in the English game. Particularly good collection of trophies. Some aspects of the development of stadiums and football at war. Interactive floor was good fun and should keep the young and old busy. The current exhibition about football games is like a step back in time and should fascinate youngsters as to how games both board games and electronic have developed. Yes you can play Subbuteo! Particularly good is the introductory corridor which has films and stills about 11 particularly important events in football and some football art on the other wall. At the end is a case containing inclusive football of every variety. There's a little shop with some good reasonably priced items. The cafe is limited in choice but a decent cup of coffee. I would say that the entry fee is worth it given the amount of things to see and do.
Lovely place for children and adults to visit, and lots of things to see, even if you're not into football, I think you'd still appreciate this museum! Each floor has interactive games for you to try, although a couple of them is a long wait, but people still queued to have a go! There is a gift shop on the way out and a cafe to have a brew etc! I'm not into football myself, but I really enjoyed it. Also, if you are a Manchester resident and bring proof of your address and name, you get in for free!
Staff nice brought a large football to my son as he has a wheelchair and it made it more inclusive for him. Kept my kids busy for hours. Nice place will be back with the offer pay once and can come back a second time free within the year!
