Weekend in July with teens

[Somewhereovertheroad]

I can only manage to get away for a long weekend this years. Three teenagers and a ten year old.

Any suggestions where? Possibly Scotland or Ireland. Centerparcs has been suggested but we have done it loads before so just wondering what else is out there?

Manchester is great with teens.
The Manchester City FC Stadium Tour is brilliant, even if you're not a supporter or particularly interested in football. From the opportunity to view the lavish Chairman's Club, to learning about the youth development approach of the club, to participating in a simulated press conference, the tour provides a thoroughly enjoyable experience packed full of variety.
The National Football Museum is free and definitely worth going to. Throughout the museum there are interactive objects, games and displays that help keep kids engaged and involved. The terrific FootballPlus+ simulations are for over 7s only as they require users to kick, stretch, run and react quickly.
The Museum of Science and Industry is also free. Lots of interactive exhibitions and daily shows and demonstrations.
Tour the BBC Media City. You'll hear how television and radio programmes are made here, now and in the past, and have the chance to visit the interactive studio where you can have a go at presenting the news and weather and star in your own radio drama, complete with sound effects!
There's a lot more than just shopping at the Trafford Centre. It's got a Legoland Discovery Centre, IMAX virtual reality experience, bowling, laser quest, adventure golf and aquarium.
Imperial War Museum North is interesting if your teens like history. If not, the Police Museum is pretty interesting.
Tick Tock Unlock and Clue HQ are the best escape rooms in Manchester and are easy to get to.
TeamSport Indoor Karting is central and great for children 9+
Stonerig Race Way is a unique set of Scaletrix tracks where everyone can get hands on with the meticulously crafted vehicles, tracks and scenery. There's also the option to try out the incredible full size Formula One simulator to test your skills in a realistic race environment.
Chill Factore is an indoor snow centre with snowboarding, skiing, ringos, toboggans, body boards, a climbing wall and cafe.
Challenge 4 Change is an indoor urban activity centre with high ropes, abseiling etc...
Teens love eating at Black Milk cereal bar and Dogs n Dough.

what about a city break - somewhere like Barcelona or Rome would be fun and very doable for a short break. you could take a cheap flight from your local airport and find an Airbnb.

Oh, forgot to mention PGL they have activity weekends for families and are good fun.
