IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM NORTH (IWM NORTH) REVIEWS
This museum is excellent. It shows the history of wars of this century and last, in a really engaging and interesting way. I particularly liked the hourly shows that they did in the main hall, and the fact it was free made it even better. I would definitely come back here.
The museum has excellent exhibitions and the shows sharing experiences of war are informative and thought-provoking. We visited today to see the poppies which have recently arrived in their forever home. They're a wonderful sight and definitely worth a visit.
I'd been wanting to visit for a while; great museum and a worthwhile way to spend a couple of hours. Exhibitions were really interesting, and the hourly immersive projection show that covered the entire exhibition hall was really impressive.

OLD TRAFFORD REVIEWS
Old Trafford is still the most magnificent and awe-inspiring stadium in the country. Walking down Sir Matt Busby Way and seeing the monumental frontage of the ground still takes my breath way even after over a thousand match day visits. It is looking a little ragged in places so does need a little refurbishment but it's still the one ground that all other fans want to visit. A lot of that of course is due to the fantastic United supporters who create the unforgettable atmosphere and always show respect to past heroes.
Awesome place and the tour was amazing. Can't describe the feeling of the first time entering the stadium from the corridor. It is a huge and unique experience, even the museum is a good collection for football fans and the souvenir shop has a good collection of merchandise. Overall a good trip and worth a visit.
Did the Old Trafford stadium tour and it was fantastic. I am a Manchester United fan so just being behind the scenes is special. Everything ran on time and the tour guides were excellent. Fully recommend this tour.

SEA LIFE MANCHESTER REVIEWS
We've been before but still enjoyed another visit. Lots to see, do and find on this occasion as they had halloween activities. Kids enjoyed finding the answers to the questions on the activity sheets and then got a little prize at the end. Definitely worth a visit!
Fantastic experience from start to finish, friendly staff very informative. We chose to dive with shark's, a great experience even for our ten yr old. Definitely recommend it as that different sort of Christmas present.
Fantastic day out. The workers at Sea Life really entertain the kids and show them the wonders they have to offer. The gift shop is really well priced too.
