Things 2 do in Manchester? Anyone?

[bresha]

Im off to Manchester this week to visit my grandma, we will be there 4 just over a week and was wondering if anyone knows any fun (and not 2 expensive) places to visit or things to do,
We went to the museum of science and industry last time and that was great fun
I have 2 dds who are 4 and 1 and I won?t to make it a bit more of a holiday for them,
Any ideas?

There is a nice soft play centre in Chorlton called Head Over Heels. Good for wet/cold days as at the moment. it has a website but i cant seem to do a link. It is about 15 mins south west from Manchester Centre.

Manchester Aquatics Centre on Oxford Road is a great swimming pool - really nice kids one with slides and so on.

Manchester Art Gallery has activities/toys for children and a childrens activity area - nice for an afternoon.

Hope you and your dds enjoy your visit!

theres a recent thread asking the same thing, will find it so u don;t get repeats

ooo thank you,
like the idea of a soft play area,
do u know any were that is near to Stretford? we wont to avoid driving 2 far is at all possible, we will get lost,
i like the idea of the Imperial War museum but is there much there for the small ones?
