Purpose-built to tell powerful stories of over a century of conflict, IWM North makes full use of its extraordinary exhibition space to deliver a moving and immersive experience.
Reviewed By BarryC732 - Chorley, United Kingdom
Set in Salford Quays the IWM North is a modern museum exhibiting different aspects and effects of war. During our visit the theme was "Less we Forget", showing exhibits and films of WW1. The museum was well laid out and provided a thought provoking experience for us all. Entrance is free and a pay car park is situated next to the museum. The museum includes a shop and a cafe. The displays are changed regularly so well worth repeated visits. It is staffed by volunteers who are very helpful and will answer any queries.

Visitors can experience the club's history and go behind the scenes with the Manchester United Museum and Stadium Tour. The Museum covers an unrivaled depth of history & the 80 minute guided Stadium Tour allows visitors walk in the footsteps of legends, calling at the players' dressing room, before walking out of the tunnel towards the hallowed turf. Visitors can take their seat in the Managers' chair in the dugout and imagine the roar of the crowd on a match day. Additionally, visitors can have a bite to eat at the Manchester United Red Cafe. Visitors from all over the world are welcome to Old Trafford, and audio guides, souvenir guides and guided tours are available in a range of languages. We're committed to giving the same great experience to all visitors, so the tour of Old Trafford is fully accessible to wheelchair users, and the Museum has a lift to allow access to all 3 floors. Whether you're a Manchester United fan or not, a visit to Old Trafford stadium is a day to remember.

I had a brilliant time at Sea Life Manchester. From the very beginning I received polite and friendly service from Ellis, Chloe and Imogen at the front desk, and then I learned some cool and interesting facts that Ellie and Matt provided before and during my turtle feeding experience. It was a great day! Charli was also very good with the cockroach handling experience. I would recommend and I will be coming by again!

We visited the park in October so it was wet and muddy, but we were really keen to try out the disc golf course here – and it such great fun! :-D Free parking in the large park carparks. There was a map near to the carpark and we located the park café on the map to find the disc golf course. Afterwards we explored the park a little in the sunshine and found tennis courts, playgrounds for younger and older kids (with a climbing wall/mound, zipline) and a small pets corner near to the café. Here there are a few small animals that are looked after by volunteers; goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens etc. The paths were all good and lots of interesting little walks to take.
