"Science and Industry Museum, Liverpool Road, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M3 4FP - Visit now. The Science and Industry Museum is housed in the buildings of the world’s first inter-city passenger railway; this sprawling, interactive land of scientific exploration is also undergoing a multi million pound restoration project to reveal how ideas change the world. The Science and Industry Museum is now open and welcoming back visitors."

"Housed in an iconic aluminium-clad building designed by Daniel Libeskind, the IWM North houses several fascinating exhibitions which tell the story of how a century of wars have affected people’s lives in Britain. The main exhibition space shows a timeline of the wars that Britain has been involved with since the First World War. The Big Picture Show uses the latest HD projection technology to tell people’s stories of war in a vivid and captivating way."

"The Imperial War Museum North is another Salford attraction that’s most definitely worth a visit. It’s within walking distance of The Lowry so you could easily combine the two for a day out in Greater Manchester. The focus of the museum is modern conflicts and the building itself was designed to purposefully confuse and unsettle visitors through illogical angles and leaning floors."

"A lavish £12 million has been spent on the redevelopment of the People's History Museum on the Left Bank. Hopes are high for a showcase of working-class history where highlights include early political pamphlets, the world's oldest trade union banner, exhibits relating to the Peterloo Massacre and the desk on which Thomas Paine wrote The Rights of Man. The rolling programme of exhibitions starts with Carried Away – a collection of photographs documenting more than 100 years of protest across Britain, from the suffragettes to the miners' strike.Contact: phm.org.uk"

There is also an exhaustive collection of Egyptian mummies and artefacts, and a terrarium with live and exotic reptilian species. Visiting the Manchester Museum is especially one of the best things to do in Manchester with kids."

"Explore 3 floors of displays and exhibitions, including objects from all over the world. There are so many fascinating things to discover – from Stan the T.rex to the Vivarium, and newly bred Harlequin frogs. Visit the new exhibition We Are Nature- 19 May to 31 August 2021."

"On Deansgate in Manchester is the John Rylands Library, a late-19th century Victorian building in a Gothic style. What’s so different about this library is that it looks a lot more like a cathedral than a place for housing books. It is considered by many as Manchester’s most beautiful building and houses some of the earliest books ever printed."

"The John Rylands Library is breathtaking in a kind of ‘Hogwarts sort of way’. Named for John Rylands but actually founded by his wife, it is the kind of place where you never stop looking up, even when you manage to score an alcove in the soaring Reading Room for yourself."

"Manchester also has the John Rylands Library, churches, cathedrals, and museums dedicated to art, culture, and history. In the evening, prepare for your flight home from Manchester International Airport."

"It is a free water park with a splash pool, see-saw that pumps water, fish ladder, and many other water games.

They also have a huge play area, a place for skating, basketball court, tennis court, and a boating lake."

"Located about 10 miles from Sheffield, the Elsecar Heritage Railway is dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and expansion of one of the area's oldest railway lines. Highlights include an impressive collection of historic locomotives and rolling stock that once belonged to the South Yorkshire Railway. Budding engineers can even learn to drive a steam train through one of the railway's "footplate" courses (they also offer a number of fun themed excursions)."

"Opened in 2001, the Millenium Gallery is one of the most impressive galleries in the north of England.

There is a constantly changing temporary exhibition space, but the permanent Ruskin Collection is the highlight of the gallery."
