Manchester with DC aged 11 and 12

What is good to do in Manchester in the winter? First time in England for DC aged 11 and 13. We will go the football stadia, but would otherwise like to keep down costs. We are really up for sightseeing and happy to walk around (or use trams, etc.) Staying near St. Peter's Square.

Also any cheap but delicious places to eat. TIA.

It reopened earlier this year, all the renovations are finished, it’s all open :)

If you happen to be here for New Year’s Eve there’s a family friendly alcohol free DJs/fireworks event at Castlefield bowl, first come first served though and it’ll be busy.

There’s a few crazy golf places, the one on First St is good.

There has been an ice rink in town near the football museum but I’m not sure if it’s been taken down now.

The ice rink is still there, but too cold for us. The cathedral is beautiful, however.

We enjoyed the football museum.

We also did a treasure trail around Castlefield which was great and a good way of exploring parts of the city we'd not have seen otherwise.
