The Science and Industry Museum
The Science and Industry Museum is devoted to inspiring our visitors through ideas that change the world, from the Industrial Revolution to today and beyond.
It's a story that we're uniquely placed to tell—on the site of the oldest surviving passenger railway station, in the heart of the world’s first industrial city, today alive with innovative discoveries in science and technology.

Yesterday we had a fab day out to celebrate my husbands birthday. We spent the day in Manchester and we really enjoyed ourselves.
We booked in at Science and Industry Museum for their Power Up exhibition, went for lunch at Bundobust Brewery then went shopping to Afleck Palace.

SIM HALF TERM: Don’t miss a packed programme of family fun exploring all-things sound and music, plus two captivating interactive exhibitions, at Science and Industry Museum this February half term.
Did you know, we have colleagues working here today who worked on the Synchrotron Radiation Source (aka the SRS) when it was here at the lab?
Lots of people have fond memories of working on the SRS, so we took two of them along to the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester to look at the elements of the SRS which are on display there and to tell us more about their time at the lab.
Thank you to Alan Brown and Stephen Hill for sharing your memories with us and to the museum for hosting us.
You can visit the Science and Industry Museum daily, and entry is free. You will find the SRS exhibits just beyond reception on the ground floor. If you go, do let us know what you think.
A big thank you to Yemi at Manchester Family Fun for hosting the first Manchester Family Arts Network meeting of the year🥳
The Network is made up of around 20 Manchester arts and culture venues, and is a great opportunity to share ideas and best practices. Today we discussed what responsible family engagement and data collection looks like, and ways we can enhance this together as a sector.
Thank you to all the venues that turned up, it was lovely to see you!

☁️LITTLE NORTHERNERS☁️
This is our go-to place whenever we go to central Manchester and the boys need some time to chill and play. The best bit? Little Northerners is a totally FREE play space in the heart of the city - open daily and you don’t even need to book. There’s even a huge sandpit and playhouse outside the building too 🏖️
Little Northerners is a glass-surrounded play room in the Great Northern Warehouse complex near Deansgate. It took us a while to find it the first time but it’s actually really easy - just head to Odeon and it’s there (for step-free, we enter the complex by Alex's Bakery, head past the sandpit towards Almost Famous GN, and go inside to take the lift up 1 level).
It’s open 9-4 every day and is unmanned so I wondered if it might be a bit of a mess but actually it’s always been so nicely kept & clean whenever we’ve visited. There’s a play shop, kitchen, teepee, dolls’ house, castle, climbing boxes, rocking arch, blocks, books, instruments & baby toys. Plus a comfy sofa and a handwashing station. Right next door there’s a separate ‘Book Nook’ with even more books for kids and for grown-ups & a little tent too.
📚🎵On Tuesdays there’s a Play Maker Events playworker at Little Northerners. Don’t miss their Storytime/Rhymetime every Tues 11:30-12 & Thurs 1:30-2 (free, just turn up)!
Head outside (down one level in the lift & near Almost Famous) and you’ll find a massive sandpit & playhouse with mud kitchen, which is open all year & equipped with buckets & spades in summer.
This is such a great location for a free play space and I wish every town had one! We often pop in before or after catching the train as it’s a short walk to Deansgate station (about 7 mins). It’s also super near Science and Industry Museum, or Manchester Art Gallery and Manchester Central Library, or People's History Museum, so it’s a great addition to a day of free fun.
📍 Kiosk 1, Great Northern Atrium, 235 Deansgate, M3 4EN
🕙 Open 9-4 daily

🎨MANCHESTER ART GALLERY🎨
Epic den building and hexagonal table tennis make ‘The Lion’s Den’ children’s gallery in Manchester Art Gallery a great FREE stop for all the family if you’re around St Peter’s Square 🦁 It’s right by Manchester Central Library so you can pop over there for more free fun, exploring the Secret Garden-inspired children’s library 📚It’s walking distance to the Little Northerners free playroom in Great Northern Warehouse near Deansgate too, and the fab Science and Industry Museum, so you can easily make a full day of activity without any entry fees.
🎨 Manchester Art Gallery’s ‘Lion’s Den’ also offers free Artist-led creative sessions called ‘Creative Families’ on Wednesdays and alternate Saturdays & Sundays(we didn’t go on the right day for this but they look great).
🇨🇳 On 22nd Jan there will be Chinese New Year activities, including a bunny trail, bunny crafts & cake decorating with Chinese calligraphy (all free)
✨ Don’t miss their free Baby Sensory sessions every 1st & 3rd Weds of the month from 1-2pm (no need to book).
🚪 There are ‘Open Doors’ creative sessions for autistic children & their families once a month on Saturdays 10-12 (free but book online)
The Den also features a huge painting of a sleeping lion, mini monster artworks, and black & white art to stimulate babies. I felt like the space was big enough for maybe one more hands-on activity or even just some colouring out on the tables (it felt a bit sparse) but it’s still a great place to pop in to get kids excited about art & feeling welcome in a gallery. I’d no idea quite how long they’d be happy building dens for either - we couldn’t get them to leave!
The rest of the art gallery doesn’t have much in the way of interactives but there’s an interesting mix of displays - from costume to ceramics, fine art & contemporary sculpture.
