Science and Industry Museum manchester

Here today as part of the Manchester International Festival 2019 seeing the exhibition 'Atmospheric Memory'. It was a fantastic experience and must have taken a lot to set it up. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. This place is amazing normally too. A great day out for adults and children alike. Beautiful machines perfectly kept/restored. A treasure of Manchester!

Good museum. It was a shame that the upper level of the air and space hall was closed, this has the most fascinating exhibits in my view but you couldn't get a good view of the larger planes from the bottom level. Not their fault though! The main museum has good exhibits but is a little too child - oriented for my tastes. Probably great if you have a family though. Cafe is quite good

Love the pop-up exhibitions that change monthly. Can easily spend a few hours wandering around the permanent exhibitions and learn something new each visit. Add to your itinerary for visiting Manchester, if only for a marvel at the Victorian Architecture and old train platform.

Oh my god, it's massive! We didn't even get to see the air and space bit and we spent a good 5 hours there. During our visit we went to the Sun exhibition, the Plant Power gardening activity and the Power up gaming session (all of them were temporary) and on top of that the kids had tons of fun in the experimenting section. Definitely recommend it for families especially during summer holidays (it was a bit busy but because of it's size, it didn't feel overwhelming).

It's great for little kids mainly the interactive part but then it is usually pretty full in holidays. Free access so great place to bring kids in holidays also some activities going in for younger children there is usually a leaflet at the entrance about times for that. Would like to see an expansion on more science for older people too.

This the most beautiful history place which takes you back into the old times. You feel like you are walking into the streets 200 years back in the history. It shows the rise and fall of old days with the technology. You can see through old machines, the old science and technology journey. The best science and technology place in Manchester to visit. If you are a fan of history then there are lots to see here 😀 It is quite spacious place and if you are planning to visit this then you can easily spend two to four hours here.

Always lots to see and do and everywhere is accessible for wheelchairs and buggies. Not much by way of disabled parking however or parking of any kind nearby. At the moment (May 2021) the engine hall and space hall are closed for refurbishment so what you can see is limited. The textile area is still up and going as is the experiment area for hands on entertainment. Currently there is a ‘Top Secret’ exhibition which is great for all ages. There are plenty of toilets including accessible ones and a fab shop near the entrance/exit selling souvenirs and cafe selling sandwiches and soup along with drinks. At the moment you have to book in advance. Tickets are still free with a recommendation of £5 donation (for the upkeep of the museum) still a (very) cheap day out.

Been many times and alway love it. Perfect place to discover Manchester's technological history and more. However: Most of the buildings were closed due to renovations (will definitely go again when it's done!) and there wasn't much notice that the buildings were closed - there is a page on the website - luckily we live nearby but it could be disappointing if you were traveling from further away.

free to get in they just ask for a donation that you don't have to give. There is a learning loft on the top floor for kids that you have to pay for not sure how much it is. One side is closed at the min while they refurbish. But the basement normally has an exhibition on which at the moment is about Cancer and the research into it. On ground floor is about the Mills and you can see looms being used in a live demo a few times a day. There is a gift shop and a cafe that's reasonably priced
