Something to do in Manchester, today, with teenagers?

I thought we would do the arcade in Bury but it doesn't open on a Monday.
Then I've tried to book ChillFactore and that's not doing the fun sessions today.

Nothing on at cinema and am bored of bowling.

Plus it's absolutely pissing down so that rules out open air mini golf etc

No museums or anything please, we've done them all multiple times.

Ages are 13, 15, 18 if that helps!

Junkyard golf is inside.
Theres a couple of gaming/fun type places in Manchester arndale. All inside. Immersive game box and then there’s a place that has the cube game and other things.

Probs not cheap. Think may be something in the printworks too.

Anything on at the trafford centre for christmas? I know they had a new bowling alley/arcade open at some point.

Edited to add there’s escape rooms and a couple of virtual reality type places too.

NQ64 is fun. Also The Crystal Maze.

Affleck's Palace.

Affleck's Palace.

They go there all the time.

I don't think they would enjoy the escape rooms, they're not very outgoing types.

I'll check out the indoor golf

@FeelingJolly try the market food hall for lunch (assuming it’s open) or Oppio lounge is nice

Altrincham ice rink?

We went and it was actually really fun
13yo didn't really enjoy it, he was too nervous but older ones said they would go again and got a cracking video of DH falling on his arse whilst pushing a stability polar bear 🤣
