Science and Industry Museum Air and Space Hall manchester

Gets busy at weekends and in the school holidays but no charge to enter (donations welcome). Loads of great things for kids to do - but be aware that some areas are currently closed (July 2019) for refurbishment. Check before you travel. The air and space hall has some amazing planes and simulators.

Definitely avoid visiting as it is such a waste of time. Almost all airplanes were covered with tarps, water on the floor everywhere, lifts closed, so was the viewing balcony. However, all attractions that were paid (£10 each!) were fully working. Disappointing!!!

Lots to see and learn, kids loved having a look around at the old planes and cars. Definitely a good day out and if you go on one of the event days you can take part in little activities which the kids really enjoy.

Good selection of displays. What's not to like? I would definitely recommend a visit if in Manchester. You'll see aircraft from all ranges. There were a couple of simulated rides when I went there as well. Best part of everything? It's free so you can't have a reason not to visit.

Plenty to see at this museum although because the exhibits are so big it feels a little cramped. The atmosphere reentry VR experience with Tim Peak is pretty good but it's only a temporary exhibit. You can look round most of the museum for free but the flight simulator and VR experience have a small charge.

Beautiful exhibit of European artists and artefacts. The architecture of each room is designed to reflect the country’s culture. The Egyptian relics were fascinating! Free lockers were a plus.

It was a joy always to visit the Air & Space Hall. Thank you for displaying great vehicles and engines for the public to see, enjoy, learn and dream about.

Fun family experience, make sure you book 1st, its free and you can make a donation if you wish. Hand made pizzas are lovely 😍

Museum of industry and science. Factory records exhibition interesting

For those who would like to visit the air and space hall, it is sadly closed permanently. A bit of a disappointment as the indication on the official website is not obvious enough to be spotted.
