    It's like a building full of small independent shops where you can find a costume shop or a store full of clothing of all kinds! There is even a music area where you can play freely! Very interesting to visit!!

    Lovely museum, within walking distance of a tram station. Very informative about Manchester's role in the Industrial Revolution. Plenty of interactive exhibits for old and young. Free entry, but able to co tribute a small donation. Well priced cafe inside, as well as gift shop. Our toddler had a fantastic time.

    We went for the stadium with additional campus tour and had a brilliant day... Our tour guides (Ben and Emma in the stadium and Harry and Dave for the campus) made it fun, highly informative and interactive... I'm not a city supporter and the only other stadium tour I've been on was at Anfield, but compared to that, City is in a different league! I'm excited to go back and do it again and would highly recommend it.
