Kids Days Out In Manchester

Manchester does rainy days better than most cities, which is just as well. The Science and Industry Museum, the Manchester Museum and the Museum of Transport give you three solid indoor options before you have spent anything, and the city centre is compact enough to do two in a day.

We list 38 attractions in and around Manchester. Alongside the museums there is climbing at Rock Up, family shows at the Palace Theatre, and enough indoor play to get you through a wet February.

If you are coming in for the day, the Metrolink drops you closer to most of these than driving will, and parking near the museums is expensive.
