I really enjoyed the interactive football games they had and there weee many floors filled with things to do. one bonus was that when you buy a ticket you get emailed a barcode and you can come back anytime within 1 year
Went on a fact finding mission for our development of the Welsh football museum. Very good introduction tour from a very knowledgeable guide and it was a great introduction to the galleries. Some very good and interesting exhibitions tendency to concentrate on England and events in the English game. Particularly good collection of trophies. Some aspects of the development of stadiums and football at war. Interactive floor was good fun and should keep the young and old busy. The current exhibition about football games is like a step back in time and should fascinate youngsters as to how games both board games and electronic have developed. Yes you can play Subbuteo! Particularly good is the introductory corridor which has films and stills about 11 particularly important events in football and some football art on the other wall. At the end is a case containing inclusive football of every variety. There's a little shop with some good reasonably priced items. The cafe is limited in choice but a decent cup of coffee. I would say that the entry fee is worth it given the amount of things to see and do

沿著Manchester Oxfords Road走到博物館，一旁樹葉已變成紅葉，非常美麗，博物館內的動物種類繁多，好可愛，關於木乃伊相對較為少，但喜歡動物的你，值得參觀曼城博物館。
Manchester Museum has a limited-time mummy exhibition, where you can observe the appearance of mummies up close. This is a rare opportunity, and we highly recommend taking children to visit. .

The museum is free to enter and I used to love coming here as a child. I came back with my own children today. What we saw today was quite a disappointment.I booked easily online and with a minor wait at the doors we got in very smoothly. As we had also wanted to visit the Operation Ouch later. And thinking we would need time to explore the whole museum we booked it for mid afternoon.
It rained all day today but I visited all the attractions I could!
I first went to the Museum of Science and Industry, where I saw machines from the Industrial Revolution and real textile machines in operation. Through the flying cotton wool, I seemed to see Mr. Thornton at work [shy

Interesting mix of classical and contemporary pieces to consider. A good couple of hours spent here. Well worth visiting for the collection in general rather than any specific items.
After many years, I came to Manchester Art Gallery again. The human sculpture hanging on the stairs instantly brought me back to my student days. I can't remember other works of art very clearly, but this hanging black mesh human body has always been imprinted in my mind.
This time I noticed a small Chinese exhibition, which tells the changes in the lives of Chinese who immigrated to the UK from all over the world after World War II. The text description mentioned: China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan... Later I discussed this with my British friends and came to a conclusion that many non-mainland Chinese abroad really do not recognize their Chinese identity. Given the relationship between the UK and Hong Kong, the locals can only add fuel to the flames, and the Chinese who immigrated overseas decades ago will not have much identification with the one-China policy.

It is a free urban park with relatively complete facilities. Many things in the park are fun. You can also see many nice fountains and shops in this park. The environment in the whole park is also very warm and there are abundant resources to enjoy.
Piccadily is an important transportation hub in Manchester. The garden is only five minutes away from the railway station. It is also a must for busy neighborhoods such as pedestrian street from the railway station. There are tourist centers in the garden where you can get information. The high-rise buildings behind the garden gather a lot of financial institutions, so the small pool here feels more like a place for white-collar leisure.
